Editing Cherubim (section)

===Types of Cherub===
Other less documented roles include:
*'''Butler''' - Basically a house menial, attends to cleaning and serving things when expected.
*'''Crusader''' - Adorable teddy bear sized servitors in plate, as if being surrounded by armoured babies makes you appear more threatening.
*'''Custodian''' - Tattooed with Hexagrammatic Wards, these ones are trusted to carry proscribed artifacts.
*'''Foci''' - Psychically attuned to their masters, and can be used as psyber familiars.
*'''[[Watchers in the Dark|Gregori]]''' - Little dudes with freakishly large eyes, fitted with auspex scanners
*'''Harpy''' - Babies with blades attached to their feet, are almost always female and are used as combat pests.
*'''Incensor''' - Babies carting around fog machines. [[Sisters of Battle]] tend to use them to help refocus their faith.
*'''Love Angel''' - Cupid in 40k for people who like to be [[/d/|watched by cyborg-children while they do it]] ''(You wish I was kidding)''. They exude pheromones to heighten sexual attraction. How the fuck this has not gotten purged as Slaaneshi heresy is unknown.
*'''Reaper''' - Babies dressed in dark robes, come equipped with [[Digital Weapons|digi-weapons]] to remove people bothering their masters.
*'''Shining''' - these have refractor fields built into somewhere in their bodies. Not really useful to its master unless you send it somewhere for a different reason where it's likely to be destroyed.
*'''Squire''' - Babies with muscle augmentations, which can hilariously make them stronger than full grown adult humans. Their purpose is to hold whatever gets passed to them by their master.
*'''Stenographer''' - a much more discrete quill servitor, records everything said in its location.
*'''Swift''' - Much larger wings which allows them to generate more thrust and speed.
*'''Sycophant''' - Carries around a mirror to let you know how special you are.
*'''Tailor''' - fixes clothing handed to them using an onboard supply of thread.
*'''Weapons Loader''' - exactly what it says, tiny people trained to reload a weapon when it's given to them. Space Marine [[Devastator Squad]]s in particular use these quite frequently (named as ''Armourium Cherub'').

While some Cherubs can be manufactured to perform multiple roles, there is always a limit to how much a single servitor can be expected to carry out. Hence, you might find a pack of cherubs built as butlers to attend the care of a household, but also double up as harpies to chase off unwelcome guests.

Thus there is actually a second list of more complicated tasks that Cherubim might also be created to perform usually to the exclusion of anything else:
*'''Chorister''' - The typical singing Cherub that is well known across the Imperium. Probably more complicated because they need to know an extensive back-catalogue of songs to sing. Some also know how to play instruments and carry around incense burners.
*'''Generator''' - Essentially a flying force-field. These ones have massive, clunky power field generators built into their bodies.
*'''Grenadier''' - Dressed up like little soldiers, these ones carry bombs and set them up wherever ordered to by their masters.
*'''Healer''' - A medic, equipped with a variety of medicinal tools. Unlike a medical servo-skull, which are tools for 40k doctors and carry their kit where directed, these little critters can actually attend to wounds and simple illnesses on their own without prompting.
*'''Jailer''' - Floating interrogation tools, carrying psy-nulling manacles, shock collars and a variety of drugs. Basically your BDSM baby.
*'''Messenger''' - much more complex than messenger servo-skulls. Rather than hunting for a person based on likeness alone, they are equipped with pheromone sensors and can track a target by smell and deliver a cogitators worth of information. They are also always built as '''Swift''' Cherubs too for quick movement.
*'''Pariah''' - They can do it via cloning anyway due to blank souls not having troubles in cloned bodies, making Inquisitorial Agents and Culexus Assassins, so why not have an untouchable baby? Comes with a handy limiter to turn the field on and off.
*'''Sage''' - Carries archeotech relics that perform specific effects, because nothing says opulence like having feral flying midgets using your most fragile and expensive equipment for you.
*'''Seer''' - Blind cherubs that have somehow been [[Astropath|Soul-bound]] to the Emperor, which must make them hellishly expensive/rare if this is the case. Their purpose though is to channel psychic backwash from perils of the warp from psychic masters.
*'''Spy''' - Little [[Ninja]] servitors often cloaked in Chameleoline, they have augmented lungs that allow them to resist airborne toxins, a sophisticated on-board suite of short ranged cyber senses for detecting poisons and they also have implanted multi-keys and know how to pick locks.
