Editing Servo-skull (section)

==Famous Heads==
One particularly "renowned" Servo-Skull is that of Brother Brantor who was a marksman in the [[Deathwatch]]. Somehow rather than getting the honoured rest that he deserved, his head never left the service of the Ordos Xenos, who then fitted it with a stealth anti-grav and a whole range of sensors and auspexes (presumably because a Space Marine's skull might be big enough to fit everything) which makes it/him extremely useful for recon missions and the like. Improbably, the skull is also a better close combatant with an increased weapon skill, which certainly cannot be a carry over of experience, since all brain matter is replaced with cogitators, so obviously the Ordos Xenos still knows how to get access to high-quality [[Heresy|artificial intelligence]] or [[Tzeentch|warp shenanigans are afoot]].

An unusually talkative Servo-Skull is found among the crew of the Caestus Metalican in [[Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus]]. Formerly a Magos Dominus, Servo-Skull Reditus acts considerably more intelligent than others of his kind, providing commentary on various issues faced by the tech-priests. In fact, the game's intro is narrated by Reditus as he waxes lyrical on the joys of being freed from flesh and serving the Omnissiah in death. His primary duty is to act as the POV camera for the turn-based battles against the Necrons, allowing player character Magos Dominus Faustinius to better command his troops. Considering that most other Servo-Skulls are creepy mute robo-drones and not undead tech-priests spouting philosophy he's probably an example of tech-heresy. On the other hand, a common procedure among members of the Mechanicus is getting the right hemisphere of their brain replaced with a cogitator, so this could just be a Ship of Theseus type of situation.
