Sicarian Infiltrator

A Sicarian Primus leads a squad of Sicarian Infiltrators

Sicarian Infiltrators are perhaps the most sinister of the Skitarii's warrior clades, for their neurostatic bombardment robs their victims of their senses. When hunting, they emit a white noise that fills the visual, auditory and even olfactory spectrums with static, leaving their foes all but helpless before the killing begins. Tall and slender, Sicarian Infiltrators pick their way across the battlefield with the stilted grace of spearfisher birds. They were not always this way, however, for each Sicarian is far from whole - not in spirit, nor in body.

​History

As with their Ruststalker bretheren, every Sicarian was one a warrior of the Skitarii who, in the pursuance of the cult mechanicus' agenda, was blasted limb from limb, extensively burned or otherwise dismembered. During the data-harvest at the battles end, if these fallen are judged still fit to serve the Omnissiah, they are not incinirated but instead taken back to the augmetic slabs. There they are given a new lease of life by the addition of slender but powerful metal limbs. Techinically speaking all the Magi Biologis need to create a sicarian is a head, a torso ans some limb stumps, though a detachment from emotion and a knack for inspiring fear is vital for the best results.

​Neurostatic Assault

an Infiltrator can bypass enemy defences with ease, though this ability owes nothing to stealth, nor skill. Instead it hinges upon the potency and the variety of the disruptive wavelengths they broadcast from the domed helmets and jutting antennae. When the infiltrators approach their prey's every sensory apparatus is bombarded by overwhelming stimuli. Vox-casters howl with anguished feedback while vid-screens craze with fizzing static. Yet this crippling assault is even more effective on natural senses than it is on artificial ones. Ears ring with cruel tinnitus, eyes water and turn red and the taste of burnt metal fills their mouth. It is all the Infiltrators' victims can do to remember how to breathe. As their prey clasps hands over bleeding ears and screw shut bloodshot eyes, the Sicarian infiltrators simply walk into point blank range and open fire. This sensory assault, though broad in spectrum is calibrated precisely by the Tech-priest sanctioning these macabre assasins. Those Skitarii sent to fight alongisde the Infiltrators are given null codes that transmute the frequencies into harmless song; to them, the constant barrarge of neurostatic coming from each domed helmet is nothing more than a soft psalm to the Omnissiah's glory. For this reason Infitrators are seen as wise and holy heroes by their Skitarii brethren, talismans against data corruption that fight a selfless war on the fromt line. Only to the enemy is truth revealed. There is little virtue left inside these merciless prowlers, and what personality remains is interested only in death.

Sicarian Killcalde

The vile hissing that acompanies a Sicarian Killclade on the hunt gnaws at the mind. When the stomach-churning hum of transonic weaponry mingles with the mind numbing aura of an Infiltrator assault, its effect can be magnified, leaving those brave of foolish enough to stand their ground all but crippled. The sight of their foes reeling form their approach fills the Sicarians with righteous faith, readying them for the hyperaction imperatives their masters inload as they near the foe. At an unspoken command, the Ruststalkers of the Killclade will like hunter-arachnids bursting form concealment. Their transonic weapons flash azure as they plunge headlong into the foe with reckless haste, then gory red as the butchery begins.

Wargear

•  Sicarain Battle Armour - Agility if of paramount importance to the long-limbed killers of the sicarian brotherhood. To this end they go to war clad in multilayered alloy that though thin and felxible privides admirable physical protection. This alloy, informally known as aegium, acts as a capacitor that harnesses the energy of icoming attacks and dispereses it harmlessly acros the wearers boinic frame. 
• ​Power Swords
• ​Stubcarbines - The stubcarbine though compact, has the stoppign power of heavy stubbers mounted on the tanks of the Astra Militarum. When a squad of Sicarians open fire with these weapons, the air the air fills with a storm of sollid shots that chew their vitims to ruin. 
• Flachette Blasters - The Flachette blaster is lightweight but lethal, a favoured tool of the Sicarian Infiltrators. It fires hundreds of tiny darts, each of which bears a tiny dormant cerebral cell awakend in the gun's chember. Where one dart hits home it emits a bioelectric pulse that attracts others, resulting in a series of impacts that burrow through bone.
• Taser Goads - Powered by hyperdynamo capacitors, taser weapons store an incredible amount of potential energy. A solid impact will cause this energy to be discharged in a scorching blast, only to be harnessed once more by the electrothief prongs at the weapon's tip.Taser Lance
