Bone Scrivener
Bone Scriveners are members of Necromunda's Corpse Guild. These guys have yet to lose their sanity into becoming a Corpse Grinder cultist and still retain their jobs.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Finding bodies for the Guild to turn into Corpse-Starch is a never ending task, which falls upon its high ranking members, known as Pale Consorts, to conduct. In order to aid them in their task, Pale Consorts will form Corpse Harvesting Parties, consisting of Bone Scriveners and (Still relatively sane) Corpse Grinders, to search for corpses in Necromunda's Hives.
When a dead body is found, the Pale Consort and Bone Scrivener will determine if its suitable to be turned into Corpse-Starch. If it is, the Corpse Grinders will then haul the bodies whole into their body carts or hack away the best pieces, for the Corpse-Starch factories to refine. Bone Scriveners therefore, act as the meat inspector of the group. They resemble DCs Penguin; being short men wearing a puffy coat and a renaissance-era doctor's mask, with a pimp cane and carrying a standard containing all of the lists of today's collection.
They, alongside the rest of the Corpse Harvesting Party are fluff-wise, the only mercenaries that the Corpse Grinder Cults can hire.
Crunch[edit | edit source]
Corpse Harvesting Parties can get a little… overzealous. Post-battle, any fighter who suffered a Critical Injury might suddenly, inexplicably, stop moving. The Scrivener will pass any indigestible valuables on to you, but no-one’s going to see that ganger again – except in a particularly juicy pie.
