===Luther-Class Robot=== ====Luther Pattern Excavation Automata==== [[File:Ambot.JPG|200px|right|thumb|This is what the Imperium does with the leftover Ambulls that had been stripped for your rations.]] The Luther Pattern Excavation Automata or more commonly known as the '''Ambot''' is, as you’d expect, a cybernetic fusion of an [[Ambull]] and a [[Servitor]]. Unlike most battle automata listed here, the Ambot is a largely civilian machine, specifically it is a heavy mining construct based on the Ambull's musculature. Its central nervous system is derived from the xenos creature, giving it an instinct for tunneling, but it is fitted with cortical limiters that prevent it from escaping and running amok. Ambots are built by a process perfected by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. A native Ambull is captured and then reworked and heavily cybernetically augmented. When the creature awakens in its new robotic shell, it retains its aforementioned natural tunneling instincts while having its aggression suppressed by cranial governors. The biological core of the creature circumvents Mechanicum laws regarding bans on Artificial Intelligence in the same way servitors do. Ambots are typically employed for mining and ash excavation on worlds such as [[Necromunda]]. Still, despite being civilian constructs, nothing stops the hive gangers from 'hijacking' it and turning it into a weapon of war. Due to its equipment meant to slag mining and ash excavation, a Ambot in close combat could quite literally [[RIP AND TEAR]] any poor bastard in its way. On the tabletop, Ambots are incredible [[RIP AND TEAR]] monsters. Toughness 5, 3 Wounds, comes with Light [[Carapace Armour]]. It has some big, beefy close combat weapons, and can even amp up its Attacks characteristic. Then you learn it has [[Rape|Infiltrate]] and you realize that this is one of the best ways for you to spend credits in Necromunda. An Ambot works extremely well as a Brawler or Assassin archetype, and if you take the Grav-Fist upgrade (for 70 credits, yikes), it can also sub in as a Crowd Controller, though don’t expect too much. They also have articulated robotic mandibles. Probably because they look cool. They also appear in Necromunda Hired Gun as a high tier enemy, carrying rapid fire [[Grav-Gun|gravguns]] and [[Missile Launcher#Missile Launcher|missile launchers]], as well as being able to tank whole magazines of your heaviest weapons. Even worse, once you shoot off their weapons and ablative armour, they'll chainsaw their way into your face and / dig into the ground under you. ====Sanctioner Pattern Automaton==== [[File:Sanctioner2.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Necromunda's own take on a [[Thallax]].]] Cousins of the Ambots. The Sanctioner Pattern Automaton is another type of hybrid cyborg-automaton that has been revealed in February 2023. Rather than using the bestial nature of a [[Ambull]], the Sanctioner uses a human's brain as its computer. They are seldom seen given the high operational costs needed to maintain them. The only time some Necromundan can see them is when the mother of all shitshows appear. When we mean shitshows, we mean full-blown uprisings and civil war. Once such a thing occurs, expect fleets of semi-sentient servo-automata piloted by the psycho-conditioned transplanted brains of especially fanatical enforcers. These [[Ogryn]]-sized Automatons are the elite shock-troops and [[Dreadnought]]-expies for the [[Palanite Enforcers]]; where even regular assault rams and concussion rifles won’t cut it. Known as ‘Lawtomata’ by a surprisingly witty populace, these armed and armoured constructs are protected by thick [[Carapace Armour|carapace armour]] and wield much larger versions of regular Enforcer weapons – [[Concussion Cannon]]s, [[Arc_Weaponry#Heavy Shock Baton|Heavy Shock Batons]], [[SLHG Pattern Assault Ram]]s, [[Mancatcher]]s, a [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Pacifier Assault Claw|Pacifier Assault Claw]] and no less than five types of grenades which it can shoot out from its chest. Crunchwise, these things are large enough to count as full cover for any nearby allies willing to cower behind, oh and did we also mention that these things are [[Necrodermis|''self-repairing?''.]] <gallery> Sanctioner.jpg </gallery>
