'''Biomortic Assassins''' are cyborg [[Assassinassassin]]s, that are used on the [[Hive World]] [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]] and are more commonly known as '''Murder-Cyborgs'''.{{Fn|1a}}
==Description==
That is their entire purpose and the process to convert a [[Human]] into a Biomortic Assassin takes years of both physical surgeries and mental conditioning. This includes implanting a hard [[Ceramite]] endoskeleton, layers of subdermal armor and [[bionic]] limbs that allow them to move with an unnatural grace and silent precision that no biological creature can match. Biomortics are also grafted with [[Synth]]-skin around their arms and torso to hide weapons within, which can be activated or emerge with a mere flicker of a thought. They are given enhanced senses as well, like spectral vision eyes that see through bodies to view hidden armor, weapons and biological enhancements. The entire process leaves them with a body that is more machine, than Human. But the results allow the Assassins to appear like a blur to those who see them in action, while to the Biomortic everything will appear like its moving in slow motion, as they go in for the kill.{{Fn|1a}}
