House Ty’s Onmyodo Coven adds a fascinating new layer to Necromunda’s Underhive intrigue, blending psychic might with a sinister counterbalance of nullifying power. Their lore and mechanics make them a unique asset for any gang daring enough to ally with this enigmatic house.
Lore Highlights
- Ancestral Roots: House Ty claims heritage from Ancient Terra’s Nihon Empire and Dragon Isle, maintaining their aesthetic and cultural stylings from these distant origins.
- Psychic Mastery: Unlike their ancient forebears, House Ty is deeply entwined with psychic power. Many of their members serve as psykers and astropaths for Necromunda’s ruling elite, particularly Lord Helmawr.
- Unique Alliances: While they’re naturally aligned with House Delaque, the Ty are pragmatic and will partner with anyone who meets their secretive conditions.
Onmyodo Coven Mechanics
The coven’s members come in pairs, their dynamic emphasizing balance—telepathic might tempered by nullifying restraint.
- The Telepath
- A Sanctioned Psyker with access to two powers from the Telepathy discipline.
- Features the Overseer ability, making her a strong support unit who can manipulate the flow of battle.
- The Null
- Completely blocks psychic activity within 6″, making them a nightmare for psyker-heavy gangs.
- Armed with a boltgun and power sword, offering a mix of ranged firepower and melee lethality.
- Collars of Control: Both members are bound by collars that regulate their powers, operated remotely by unknown uphive controllers. The suggestion that noble lords might be spying through their eyes adds a chilling element to any dealings with the coven.
