Eurydice
This article is about the the jump pack. For other uses of Eurydice, see Eurydice (disambiguation). |
Eurydice is a cursed jump pack used by Raptor Captain (later Warsmith) Rhodaan of the Iron Warriors. His most valuable piece of wargear, he claimed it from his former brother, Sergeant Gaos, during the coup in which Warsmith Andraaz overthrew his predecessor. The jump pack is possessed by the warp, and therefore has capabilities beyond anything produced by the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Imperium. It is also semi-sentient and dangerously fickle, having deliberately failed Gaos and dropped him to earth to be killed. For this reason, its daemonic equivalent of a machine spirit requires constant placating with hymns and infusions of human blood.[1]
In addition to its thrusters, Eurydice is augmented by a pair of outstretched wings, sheathed in reptilian leather.[1]
