The halfway point between a regular [[Possessed Marine]] and a [[Daemon Prince]], the '''Greater Possessed''' are Daemonkin that are essentially enlarged version of the regular Possessed that is often created from a [[Master of Possession]] who has deemed them worthy of transforming into the largest, strongest and most fearsome of their kind.
==Overview==
Named the Heralds of the Dark Gods, these guys are the drugged-up hulks of Possessed Marines that are not only stronger and far more savage, [[Lorgar Aurelian|but radiate an unholy charisma that even pure creatures of the Warp recognize.]] Like [[Ork Boy|Boyz]] look up to [[Nob|Nobs]] with both reverence, fear and a tint of jealousy, so too do fellow lesser Daemonkin look upon these A+ motherfuckers as the Dwayne "THE ROCK" Johnson of ascension. In battle, Greater Possessed wield your typical giant pincer-claws and scythe-like talons of twisted bone like most Possessed, but on a larger and [[/d/|''meatier'' scale.]] Every Greater Possessed is a locus of empyric power in realspace, an instrument through which the corruptions of the Warp are given form. Because of this, lesser Daemonkin and normal dudes get a bit too...''fanboyish'' to the point that they will be driven to a frenzy [[Weeaboo|in order to impress their senpai.]]

In game terms, they're a nasty CC unit: on top of the usual possessed stuff, they boast a statline composed mostly of 5s, a faster move and their attacks hit like a fucking trainsaw! You can take two per slot, points and PL permitting, and they have an aura that grants +1 S to any nearby daemons. Obvs, they were intended to enhance Possessed Marines, but can also grant their buff to your daemon engines and such.

Hexrifle

[[File:Hexrifle2.jpg|300px|right|thumb|A Hexrifle. Eugene Stoner does NOT approve.]]

The Hexrifle is another one of those [[Neuro-Disruptor|bizarre Eldar weapons.]] Hexrifles are [[Dark Eldar]] weapons used primarily by [[Haemonculi]] and [[Wracks|their pet minions]] that uses crystal cylinders that contain a tiny amount of the Glass Plague virus. Crystalline cylinders containing the tiniest quantity of the disease are fired from the rifles, shattering upon impact and exposing the target to the plague. The virus spreads incredibly fast on contact with flesh, [[Wat|turning the victim into a glass statue.]] More often then not, the particular Dark Eldar would shout, "Strike a Pose!" before adding the victim as part of their collection. How a virus can rearrange the molecular structure of a carbon based lifeform into silicon is unknown, with the only explanation without going into supernatural means is through techno-babble/Webway-physics [[Bullshit|bullshit.]]

The Plague of Glass had once afflicted the Dark City in the 36th Millennium. While the plague itself has long since been stopped, samples of the disease still exist in phials within the laboratories of Haemonculi, to employ as a weapon against their enemies. Each Hexrifle is unique, created for an individual Haemonculus to deliver this potent and exotic plague in battle, but all function in essentially the same way.

Unfortunately, despite the cool/weird fluff written down, on the tabletop, the Hexrifle is just a bog-standard Sniper Rifle now. It can shoot at characters and has a tiny chance of inflicting a mortal wound in addition to normal damage. The weapon had a unique rule when it was introduced where it had a chance to insta-kill its target on a lucky dice roll, but not anymore! The fact that both the Acothyst and the Haemonculus like to get [[Rape|close and dirty in melee]] and not stand back and fire Heavy weapons further hurts the potential of this weapon.
