Psychoteric Thrall

The proverbial cyberpunk gimp-helmet.

Psychoteric Thralls are a type of hangar-on used in House Delaque on Necromunda and the other other meatshield/cannon fodder for the gang.

Overview

Some individuals are connected to the Psychoterica even if they are not of House Delaque. These are often the lost souls of a hive, outcasts and dreamers who have no place in the brutality of Necromunda. Sometimes, a Delaque clan gang will take these wayward strays under their wing, tapping into their latent psychic energies and using them as conduits for the Psychoterica.

They can still defend themselves, arming with very simple weapons like a Stub Gun, Flintlock Pistol, Musket or Autopistol, alongside a Knife, Club or an Axe for close encounters.

Unfortunately, despite having rules, we don't have a model for this unit, yet.

Crunch

On Necromunda, at 90 credits a Psychoteric Thrall can act as a psychic node just like a Psychoteric Wyrm, but they aren’t "chained" to their owner and can be used as a node by any psykers in the controlling gang. Moreover, when you hire this fighter, you can choose which House gang they’re from, and enemy fighters from that gang within 6” must subtract 2 from their Leadership and Willpower (Fighters from other gangs only subtract 1 from their LD and WP). Also, this fighter can take part in any battle as a member of the Crew, unlike most other hangers-on. They also come with a basic weapon and the Evade skill.

So, for 20 more credits than a wyrm, you get a better psychic node, actual guns, and a LD and WP debuff aura. Use it over the Wyrm. That's an order.
