Arachni-rig
Arachni-rigs are massive advanced combat servo-rigs, that are created by House Van Saar of Necronmunda, which makes heavy use of them due to the physical deficiencies that commonly afflict the House's members.[1]
Description
Each rig is an artisan piece, that puts to shame the simple utilitarian forms of mass produced servo-rigs and are controlled by the wearer's nervous system or via a direct MIU. Each is armed with a twin-linked heavy lascarbine and four servo-arms, which give the Arachni-rig's wearer a spider-like appearance and each one can be replaced with various weapons. Though it is an advanced piece of machinery, it is not uncommon for Van Saar's gang members to wear an Arachni-rig in their battles within the Underhive.[1]

Arachnika Ash-jumper
The Arachnika Ash-jumper is a more nimble variant of the Arachni-rig and is designed for prowling Necromunda's wasteland outposts and broken terrain. It is fitted with powerful jump boosters that fire the Ash-jumper through the air in great leaps and bounds. This allows the Servo-rig to keep up with the Grav-Cutters of House Van Saar's Neoteks. The Ash-jumper also has an adjusted loadout which swaps out two Servo Arms for a Flamer and Harpoon Launcher.[3]
