Death-Masque
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

This article is about the Chaos Machine; for the Board game, see Warhammer 40,000: Death Masque. |
Not quite a living creature and much more than a combat servitor, a Death-Masque combines the unstable form of a Chaos Spawn with a massive metal skull-mask from which extends a number of electrodes, wires, and conduits deep into the spawn's shifting flesh. Built by the Overlord of Forge Polix, Magos Onuris, the mask itself contains a number of simple augur arrays and a complex arcanocogitator; which, in combination with a regimen of forbidden drugs and bloody rituals, forms a control system to direct the creature’s actions and can even stimulate its own flesh to contort and change upon command in combat.[1]
