Necromunda: Delaque ‘Spyker’ Makes For One Creepy Pskyer
The Delaque are back with another freaky experiment. Their super powered Pskyer is here. Meet the Spyker.
Oh man. If the Delaque were already giving you the heebie-jeebies then this new Spyker isn’t going to help. This is what happens when you let the creepy men in Dark City attire continue their experiments in the shadows.
“As anyone who’s read House of Shadows knows, the creation of a Spyker isn’t a straightforward process. Gangers with a glimmer of psychic potential can be force-fed a concentrated solution of Ghast,* undergoing a dubious kind of evolution. At the end of the process – if their brain doesn’t explode – they’re gifted a fabulous cape and sent off to work with a Delaque gang”
Delaque Spyker
To be fair…that is a fabulous cape. But holy crap what is going on here!? This poor soul got the Big Brain treatment and now looks like a veiny grape that’s about to pop. Super powered psyker or not, that looks quite painful.
This is a unique looking model. The paint job is certainly doing some work as well so kudos to the painting studio on this one. It’s quite the sculpt and certainly leans hard into that Delaque brand of creepy sci-fi baddies.
I could totally see this Spyker running alongside their other specialists. We also get a tease about what sorts of powers this member can bring to the tabletop:
“These floating psykers can unleash a variety of unnatural powers, quite distinct from the subtle Psychoteric Whispers available to Psy-Gheists. Force enemies to flee in terror with a Psychic Scream, cripple their minds with a Psychic Assault, or even use a Force Blast to send them flying like so many plastic carrier bags on the wind.”
They might start as Hangers-on but depending on how they perform they could be quite the fixture in your gang. Especially if you want to up the creep factor…
Oh Delaque — never change!
