Warzone Unit Spotlight: Dark Legion Necromutants

Spotlight: Dark Legion Necromutants

In the Lore:
Unlike the dead arisen Undead Legionnaires, the beings that have become necromutants have been subjected to the dark necrotechnology while still alive. As such they maintain a level of intelligence, albeit a malignantly mutated and evil one.
Having been captured in battle, living captives are brought into the mechanised distortion chambers at the heart of the Dark Citadels. Through an unholy process the very structures of the victim’s muscles are changed and the creature’s basic genetic code is rewritten. The result is a soldier with nearly perfect combat abilities.
Necromutants retain some activity in their brains and are capable of taking initiative on their own. They also retain a part of their original personality. The small remains of human creativity in the Necromutants make them perfect commanders for small groups of Undead Legionnaires.

On the Tabletop:
The Necromutant squad it the premier Troop unit for the Dark Legion, they are tough well armed and ready to kick tails. The only drawback is that they cost twice what an undead legionnaire does, in an army with expensive support units.

They are armed with the Belzarach assault rifle with strength of 13 and rate of fire of 2 which means that 5 put out the same firepower as 10 Legionnaires. Two in five may swap out the assault rifle for a Heavy Plaguedealer flamethrower with a strength of 15 and anti-vehicle value of 5 making it ideally suited to take out enemy vehicle up close.

Their Passive Black Technology Special Skill grants them Heal 8 verses all plasma weaponry.

Necromutants are good in melee as well especially when you consider their Passive Insalubrious Bodily Fluids which make them explode when they are killed making it likely that you can take your opponent with you when you lose a model!
