The member of Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Celiya Xanthic retinue known only as Mord, is an odd one out in the group. Silent for the most part, but whenever he speaks the voice is filtered and the low gothic halting. Some members swearing they've heard a chittering noise coming from him at times. Then there's also something about his movements, something unnatural. Like he's trying to hold himself back. Sometimes there's motions playing on the surface of his long coat that he wears at all times and never removes. Even then he's a highly disciplined killer, using a set of weapons firing razor sharp flechettes at high velocities.

The truth is that Mord, their real name hard to pronounce with a human mouth, is part of a arachnid xenos species from a distant sector. The species is far too small, and too remote, to garner much attention from the Imperium at large. How they managed to be in the employ of Inquisitor Xanthic is anyone's guess. Less said about what deals she might have struck with them for their employ. All that is known is that places the team visits, people tend to disappear. Sometimes bodies are found, usually a dried out husk lacking any organs...

Turns out that Van Saar helmets on Delaque bodies work really well. A very quick and nice project, painted and based this one in a day.

The idea to paint the sides of the gasmask the helmet colour, making it look like extended mandibles, was a random idea that I felt worked out pretty well.

Unfortunately my Orlock's bottled it in the 3rd turn after 2 of my gang went down.

An impressive shot up through cover by a Squat Boltgun toppled a Goliath ganger of the 3rd storey to his doom!

After 7 round of viscous fighting the Goliath's also bottled it out.

And so the Squats took the territory after forcing the other gangs out and claimed there rewards 🏆
