Template:Ship The Honor Guard Wraith is a Covenant vehicle and also a special in-game item, included in the Halo Wars Limited Edition [1].
It is a more ornamental version of the standard Wraith, similar to the Flame Decal Warthog. The only difference it has from the regular Wraith is its appearance is different, as it has a paint scheme that appears similar to the Halo 2 Sangheili Honor Guard armor, hence the name (Honor Guard Wraith).
It can be activated in the skulls section on the pause menu while playing the game; it cannot be taken off until the game has ended. Unfortunately, only the stripes appear when using it in play. As such, you need to obtain the right player colour in multiplayer in order for the design to look right.
Gameplay
The Honor Guard Wraith is mostly the same in combat. Some think it is distinctly more powerful and faster. In the skulls menu, it claims that it is a "Unique variant of the Covenant Wraith". It is driven by experienced Honor Guard Elites, unlike regular Minor Elites, which should, technically, give it a drastic increase in combat efficiency, but for gameplay reasons it is only an aesthetic change.
After Title Update 2.0 the Honor Guard Wraith was made available in multiplayer matchmaking.
