Greetings fellow Imperial subjects. Do you have the time to spread the word of our lord and savior, the Hive Mind?

A Clamavus is what happens when Lorgar falls to Slaanesh and becomes a Genestealer Cultist. We wish we were joking. But they are essentially the Tyranid's answer to the Imperium's Ministorum Priest or Chaos' Dark Apostles.

Basically, if the Ecclesiarch is 40k's Catholic Space Pope and the Dark Apostles are 40k's Jehovah's Witnesses from Hell, than the Clamavus is 40k's Grimdark Scientologists. Seriously, they are both zealots believing in a cosmic alien space god whose souls would join together once they die, it's only fitting for such a comparison.

Oh yeah, it also looks like he is dropping some sick beats with his portable recorder lookalike.

Overview

A Clamavus is a type of Genestealer Hybrid that broadcasts the emancipatory creed of the Cult far and wide. They use a scrambler array to thwart the battle plans of the Cult's enemies, all while inspiring their Cult with booming oratory amplified by their suit's integrated proclamator hailer. Because of this, the Clamavus' fellow Cult members see them as heroes and the spreaders of truth.

It seems that because of their function, they only make themselves publicly known during a Genestealer uprising, because Emprah knows how the average Imperial citizen is gonna react to some bald dude screaming about the coming of a four-armed dinosaur locust rather than the Inquisition-approved golden corpse god. Of course, they also dabble in hacking the vox-transmissions of their enemies, shutting down their communications networks even as they rally their fellow cultists.

Tabletop

This guys is your support unit, he is there to buff your synergy between your Genestealer Cultists on the tabletop. By default, he improves your army's leadership and movement automatically within 6" of this guy. The Scrambler Array can keep you safe from enemy deepstrikes within 12" of this model AND melt faces and burst ear drums with his sick beats (Roughly translates as rolling a D6 for each enemy unit within 6" of any Clamavus; on a 6 that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound).
