Editing Death Jester (section)

== Equipment ==

Death Jesters use clothing and equipment which feature skulls and death motifs. They wear [[Death's Legacy|carapace armour]] enhanced with visual disruption and conversion field technology. As the heavy specialists of the army, they carry an array of deadly weaponry, from the conventional [[Shuriken Cannon]] of the Craftworld Eldar, to the specialised [[Fire Pike]], or the morbid [[Shrieker Cannon]]. The [[Shrieker Cannon]] is the trademark weapon of the Death Jesters, as only they create and maintain them. They are a variant of the Shuriken Cannon, but instead of firing a hail of projectiles, they fire only a single shot. This shot is impregnated with a virulent acid that causes the victim's blood vessels and insides to expand violently. [[FATAL|This usually results in a small explosion that showers squadmates with pieces of their companion.]] Yes, they basically took a DeviantArt fetish and turned it into a weapon.

The weight of their weapons is offset by their flip belts. They are also known to use [[Warp Weapons#Vortex Grenade|vortex grenades.]]

For some reason you cannot use Firepikes in the tabletop, despite the lore saying you can. Its not even in Legends.
