A syren, also called a dracite, is the title given to a Drukhari Hekatrix Bloodbride who serves as the leader of her unit of similarly elite Wyches.
Every once in a while a Drukhari Succubus who commands a Wych Cult decides to assemble the most skilled and experienced of the Hekatrix Bloodbrides within her cult into an elite unit. This clique of expert murderesses is led by a Bloodbride who bears the title of syren. Sometimes also referred to as a dracite, she is a deadly exemplar whose wicked blades have shed the blood of numerous formidable opponents across dozens of worlds.
Wargear[]
- Wych Knife
- Wych Suit
- Splinter Pistol - Splinter Weapons like the Splinter Pistol fire shards of splintered crystal covered in incredibly potent toxins using a powerful magno-electric pulse.
- Drukhari Close Combat Weapon - A Syren can wield any number of favoured Drukhari close combat weapons. See Drukhari Wargear for more information.
- Plasma Grenades - The Asuryani and Drukhari use Plasma Grenades in place of the more crudely designed Frag Grenades used by the Imperium. Plasma Grenades use a small amount of exploding plasma to blind the enemy and prevent them from properly using their terrain to defend their position against advancing enemy forces.
