When these horrible devices are put to use, their sonic field swoops across a variety of wavelengths until it finds the exact molecular frequency to simply pass through whatever armour their foes are wearing. The weapons of the Ruststalkers are sinister examples of the Adeptus Mechanicus' mastery over the laws of physics they emanate a strong, sick hum that plays on the soul. Their transonic blades blur as they dart and cut like the weapons of gladiatorial knife-fighters, the deadly resonances they transmit bypassing armour as if it offered no more resistance than a hologram. The Ruststalkers of the Skitarii Legions fall upon their foes in a slashing, stabbing frenzy. Since that day Ruststalker manufacturing has spread to every Forge World and the troops have fought on the front line of the Cult Mechanicus' many wars.

One who witnesses a pack of these metal-limbed killers attack might initially see their blows rain from Carapace Armour or layered ceramite with transonic shrieks.Ī few heartbeats later, their enemies suddenly seem to disintegrate - hacked limb from limb in showers of blood as the keening blades of the Ruststalkers locate the armour's resonant frequency and their wielders howl in triumph. Known colloquially as "shivs" to the soldiers of the Astra Militarum due to the shivering, blurring appearance of their Transonic Weapons, Ruststalkers can dart across a battlefield with daunting speed and fight with a frantic energy. Ruststalkers are often chosen from those who recovered worst - lost and desperate souls, grateful for sanction to unleash their violent rage in service of the Machine God. It is a traumatic and painful transformation that unravels the recipient's psychological stability. Most Sicarians are constructed from the mortally wounded bodies of fallen Skitarii.
Princeps Omicron-900 at the Battle of Kran’s BlunderĪ Sicarian Ruststalker is one of the Adeptus Mechanicus' Skitarii Legions' stick-thin cybernetic assassins driven to a bitter murderlust by the mutilations of their former lives.
