Editing Cronos Parasite Engine (section)

== Overview ==

The Cronos are semi-sentient, part organic and part mechanical monsters that slowly drift along on anti-gravitic motors. Created by the Haemonculi through a strange blend of alchemy and science, the Cronos drains away not only the physical constituents of its victims but also their life essence - what little is left of its unfortunate victim is a pathetic shriveled husk which quickly collapses to little more than dust, hence why they are called Parasite Engines.

The majority of the Cronos soul-sucking vampiric weapons are such, that it uses their life force as literal fuel to power their arcane abilities. For example, their [[Dark_Eldar_Combat_Weapons#Spirit-Leech Tentacles|multiple combat tentacles]] leech the essence of their prey which then travels within the Cronos and invigorates itself in the process. Alternatively, similar to the [[Medusae]], the Cronos acts like money trees, in which the stolen vitality of the machine’s victim is then magnified within its shiny carapace, fed through its ribbed capacitor called the [[Spirit Vortex]]-valves and projected from its resonator vanes once more. The effects of which is like that of a psychic pulse of pure spirit juice - nourishing and rejuvenating any DEldar standing near the Cronos. Usually that DEldar is its Haemonculus master and his [[Talos Pain Engine|petting]] [[Grotesque|zoo]] [[Wracks|creatures]] from [[Scourges|Hell.]]

It is this ability that has led the superstitious denizens of the Imperium to refer to the Cronos as ‘time-thieves’, for they steal youth and vigor from their prey and gift it to their keepers. The DEldar who drank all the ghostly Kool-Aid promptly becomes [[Powergamer|stronk and powerful.]] No wonder the higher ups in [[Commorragh]] wants these guys so bad.

They are often armed with a plethora of hooks to chains, to the numerous segmented weapons that drains the life out of their victims such as the [[Dark_Eldar_Combat_Weapons#Spirit Probe|Spirit Probe]], [[Dark_Eldar_Combat_Weapons#Spirit-Leech Tentacles|Spirit-Leech Tentacles]], [[Dark_Eldar_Combat_Weapons#Chain-Flails|chain-flails]], [[Dark_Eldar_Combat_Weapons#Ichor Injector|ichor injectors]], a [[Liquifier Gun]], syringes and adrenaline boosters. And no, they are too fucked to be even be included in [[/d/]]...yeah, it's that bad.
