Servo-skull

This page is needs images. Help plz.

A servo-skull is a kind of machine used by the Imperium of Man. They are made from the skull of a deceased Imperial servant with a cogitator, some sensoria, and a hover-drive installed to make it move. What better way to reward an adept of the Administratum for his decades of shuffling around papers that nobody ever reads again than to make his skull into a little flying robot?

Much like the drones used by the Tau Empire, the Imperium puts servo-skulls to many purposes. Some of them are used as pict-recorders and message couriers, others as remote viewers linked to a controlling tech-priest, still others as psychic foci or targeting computers to assist Inquisitors and their retinues.

One particularly messed-up variant of a servo-skull is the cherub (also called cherubim), which uses a vat-grown baby instead of a skull of a dead servant as the base structure. It sounds like something Slaanesh dreamed up, but apparently it's all the rage for higher-ups in the Ecclesiarchy to have little choirs of the things to sing hymns.
