Benefictus

Benefictus is a Characters unit in the Genestealer Cults faction for Warhammer 40k.

A Benefictus uses the swollen mass of their brain to focus the will of the Broodmind. They unleash it in a lancing beam of incredible power that has the potential to carve through battle tank armour. Where the psionic strike hits, intense shock waves of nauseating alien horror spread out, leaving survivors vulnerable to lurking broodkin.
