With a name and appearance looking straight out of Event Horizon, the Techno-Virus Injector is a giant needle/proboscis from the [[Helstalker]] [[Daemon Engine]].

Like an overgrown mosquito, the Helstalker preys on its targets before sucking out the life force of its intended target. But instead of people, it preys on vehicles, and instead of sucking out blood, it sucks out the Motive Force (AKA electricity and data) of a machine. Also like a mosquito, it inadvertently spreads disease through its nasty ass proboscis, giving machines Scrapcode which is like the malaria/ebola of vehicles.

Like the [[Dark Eldar]] [[Medusae]], the Helstalker functions this process very similarly; with its own metallic frame swelling with ingested code and subroutines. The [[Lord Discordant]] siphons off the pained spirit of the dying technology. This harvested energy is then used to reinvigorate other Daemon Engines, or is released as beams to infect the systems of other vehicles.

Tabletop-wise,the Techno-Virus Injector is a melee weapon that is S+6, AP-4 and deals D3 damage. A pretty nasty weapon for its intended target, vehicles. Furthermore, the Helstalker usually attacks after the Lord Discordant made his first move. Each time a wound roll for an attack made with this oversized needle is successful when targeting a vehicle unit, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds in addition to any normal damage.

This along with the Spirit Thief special rule, makes this Daemon Engine exceptionally dangerous. It is one thing dealing with a close combat monster like the Helstalker, it is another thing when said close combat monster [[Cheese|can also heal friendly Daemon Engines within 3" of the model or seriously damage a targetable vehicle within 12"; dealing D3 mortal wounds on a 2+ roll of a D6.]]
