'''Psyker gangs'''' (sometime sometimes spelled ''psyker-gang''), also called ''covens'' ) are one of the kind of [[gang]]s know to exist on the [[Hive World]] of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
As with elsewhere in the Imperium, are [[psyker]]s on Necromunda persecuted and feared. Folktales of psykers confirm the worst: that they can cause madness with a touch and summon [[daemon]]s. In turn many psykers, tormented beyond endurance, lash out at their persecutors, using their powers to destroy. Thereby giving truth to the tales in the eyes of their persecutors.{{Fn|1}}
Many psykers who have not fallen victims to their own powers, [[daemonic possession]], or witch-hunting [[bounty-hunter]] gangs, and been able to escape into the [[undercity]] (or hide in some other way) gather in gangs.{{Fn|1}}
Psyker gangs are mainly motivated by survival and the protection and continued secrecy of any cult they may practice. But many psykers are obsessed with revenge against their persecutors, while others secretly try to spread their insidious influence throughout the hive.{{Fn|1}}
The most dangerous psyker gangs are the secret covens of the psyker-cult know known as the [[Immortals (Psyker-cult)|Immortals]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|Trivia}}
