Description A Xenarite character I made for an Inquisitor/Dark Heresy game. She regularly dabbles with forbidden xenotech, as well as committing the ultimate tech-heresies of invention and innovation, but has thus far avoided execution by the Mechanicus due to her usefulness to the inquisitor she serves. She is the creator of Epithos , and hails from (of course) Forge World Stygies VIII. Ironically she was conceived as a Xenarite before I knew Stygies had anything to do with xenotech.

Her favored weapon is a Stygies-Pattern (AKA "my take on the") Arc Rifle , which I hate the original steampunk design of (and all the new wacky DaVinci AdMech shit, really). It shoots lightning, but has yet to be modified into a combi-shuriken gun (which is the next logical step ).

4/13/2021: Uploaded the original concept art for the arc rifle into my Scraps.  There's a more detailed description of the gun there too.

  I was looking up "Stygies" as that's my favorite forge world. I like the lore of the Xenarites.

What are some imperial guard regiments or interesting sub factions that you like?  As an example Yme-Loc is my favorite Craftworld do to their lore of talented artisans and colossal war machines.

I like the Iron Warriors chaos marines, due to their propensity for bionics, and I like the Iron Hands for similar reasons although they don't have as much personality (and foolishly still follow the false emperor).
