	It is believed that these cybernetic hunters are ancient [[Piscean]] warriors who come to the depths of the Hives to die in the enclaves of Delaque and have their brains placed in mechanical caskets.

	While still a competent warrior, its true strength is its ability to channel the Psychoterica into strange and deadly powers.

	On Necromunda, these things are brutal. It’s a mobile and deadly close-combat Brute. Stats are fairly normal for a Brute, but note that in addition to Flying, which can make a big difference on complex 3d terrain, the Spektor’s stats feed into its fearsome [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Psychomantic Claw\|Psychomantic Claws]]. The weapons are good enough to make a Psy-Gheist threatening, but on the Spektor they become a massive threat. A Piscean Spektor puts out [[RIP AND TEAR\|10 attacks on the charge,]] at Weapon Skill 3+, Strength 5, ignoring armour completely. So targeting a T3-4, 1W fighter you expect to be rolling 4-5 injury dice. This level of overkill is going to practically guarantee some hurt on your opponents’ gangs. The best move we’ve seen has been to use the Versatile rule to charge this monstrosity and split its 10 Attacks amongst 2 enemy fighters (you could even target more in some situations). Few models in Necromunda can equal this sort of effect.		On Necromunda, these things are brutal. It’s a mobile and deadly close-combat Brute.
