Bonesinger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, Bonesingers are a means of construction within the Eldar, a race comparable to space-elves or the Protoss of Starcraft. These psykers are gifted with construction, and though they had been mentioned in the background before (in, for example, Codex: Craftworld Eldar), they were first introduced as a battlefield unit in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. They use their telepathic abillity to summon or psychically generate wraithbone, which they construct into buildings or use to repair vehicles and armor.
