Editing Living Ancestor (section)

=== Overview ===

Ironically, despite their hatred of [[Orks]], the one thing they do share with the Greenskins is their collective warp mentality. Similar to the [[WAAAGH]] phenomenon. Their strength as psykers is directly related to the prestige and honor of the stronghold's ancestors, and the higher the status of the ancestors the more powerful are the Living Ancestors. when a squat reaches Living Ancestor status he surrenders his name and his goods to his descendants, just as if he had actually passed on. A funeral is held by his clan, and the new Living Ancestor goes to live with others of his kind.

As well as advising the Lord of their stronghold, the Living Ancestors often accompany the Brotherhood in battle, providing defensive psychic support and advising the Warlord. While it is humorous to see a 800 year old midget shooting lightning out of their stubby little fingers, bear in mind that they can still fuck your shit up.

Of course nowadays, because of GeeDubs and the [[Nids]], it is unknown how many Living Ancestors are still around kicking their saggy old boots in the air.
