N18 Death Maiden Lore?

[Netsurfer733]

Hey all, I don't own the House of Blades book but I would love to know if there's more Death Maiden lore out there other than what's listed here:

Death-maiden - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

wh40k.lexicanum.com

Including Necrana, and I am also aware of an older death maiden (which looks nothing like the newer ones; I can change that when I make her) https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/09/28/the-death-maiden-stalks-the-underhive/

I get how the fleshteks remake them, they have some combat bonuses etc., but their lore reads that they *operate alone* by and large. So what sorts of things do they do? What's their lore, and what's their purpose besides being a little extra punchy for Escher? Everything about them just screams ritual and machinations, etc. Is there anything like that in their lore?

Hi,
I don't have the House of Blades book as well. However, I can recommend the Underhive Lorekeepers Podcast for that topic. They talk about every bit of lore from a certain book. One of their earliest episodes is about House Escher in general and I remember a section about Death-Maidens in particular.
Hope that is what you are looking for.

That's what I like to hear!

The Aranthian Succession has some cool stuff about Escher for you too, especially the first episode!
