Yuri Thizohra
Haunt, Telepathy branch, 235th Precinct
"Come on, hurry up!" his road sergeant called up at him, as Rorek, a greenhorn in this warband straggled a bit, knee-deep in water, in damp tight service tunnels with flickering lights. This is Rorek's second action, and this time, they were to take the fight to the Enforcers. All the guys in this ambush team were confident, and they brought the heaviest weaponry to bear. The road sergeant carried a plasma gun, and one of the older guys brought along a heavy machinegun. The other greenhorn was following the machinegunner, bending under the weight of ammo belts to feed the mean thing.
I'm Yuri.
"What was that?" Asked Rorek. "What was what?" asked the tough-looking guy in front of him. "I didn't hear anything, and move your lazy ass!" he said angrily, as the entire team jogged through the water to get into the ambush position on the flank, but he just couldn't keep up.
I'm Yuri. Obey me.
Again, that voice in his head. The voice only he can hear, and can't get rid of. Rorek panicked, and stumbled over, falling face-first into the dirty water. With his head underwater, and boot stuck, he could hear nothing but the voice, clawing at his mind, and he can't focus enough to keep it outside, as he struggled for life.
Obey me! OBEY ME!
...
"Where the hell have you been, Rorek!? Why are you all wet?! Get a move on, and help prepare the ambush! The pigs are almost here! Rorek? Rorek! What are you doing with the demo charge?! Put it down, now!"
"I'm sorry, sergeant. I'm helpless to stop it!"
The feeling of helplessness is your best friend, savage!
"Rorek! No!" Yelled the road sergeant, but the only thing he could see is this young man's face, and a big drop of a tear running down his cheek. A product of a tortured brain. Tortured by those freaking psykers, who can get into people's minds, and destroy them from within! The last thing they both heard was a soft click of the trigger mechanism.
...
"Is it done, Yuri?" Asked the Captain, as a loud detonation just shook the entire hab block, and clouds of dust trickled down from the ceiling.
"No, Captain. It has only begun."

The first rule of being Yak Admin is that you don’t talk about being Yak Admin.
The second rule of being Yak Admin is that you do enough spook to be able to read deleted posts!!
For what it’s worth, my entry would have been called Darren Frown, and he would mistakingly believe his mind control powers were being channeled through his impressive unibrow!
He is semi hive famous for his ‘Valhalla roulette’ scam and his one attempt at guessing the lucky number in the Helmawr Lottery!
Here’s what iv been upto:
Marina, Aqua Marina,
What are these strange enchantments that start whenever you're near?
Everyone has a week to make their votes!
Good luck Yaks!

I misread one of the entry images and thought you'd made an entry @CaptainDangerous
Thanks for hosting such an awesome event again!
New Delaque Spyker on Warhammer community just in time 
…I never did take a better pic of my long necked floating wyrdo, but here it is just floating around doing nothing, getting people used to it being on the table before I later go, at the end of round two “oh, its falsehood wears off and it is now making all your fighters nearby insane” or “oh, the lights are out now”
I carved his feet out, and gave him a long creepy neck, but also his hand has a pin in it which goes into the light so he can be swivelled or put on other “bases”
.oO(these aren’t “better” pics, just thought I’d share a bit more of my turtle necked thing)
