Meet the Dynasty #4: Ref-tek Jahksehn


"Ref-tek" Jahksehn has worn many hats during his career.  In 5E he enjoyed wielding the many cool gubbins Crypteks had access to, he is still a little mopey about the 7E changes to his wargear.  On the other hand, he can now get a phase shifter and squad-wide 5++, and he has two wounds!  So it's not all bad, not at all.
Ref-tek was and still is the somewhat under-appreciated support for the Lahkers royal court.  In 5E, he and his proxy-Crypteks would tote the eldritch lances, teleport Kobeh around with the Veil of Darkness, blind the enemy with the Solar Pulse, re-roll dice with the old-style Chronometron, and occasionally pull a Look Out Sir for an overlord.  Currently, Ref-tek takes the new Chronometron and hangs out with whoever needs an invulnerable save, usually a warrior blob.

In the dynasty, Ref-tek's job is to be the judge and/or impartial adjudicator when the Triarchs aren't around.  The Lahker lords rely on him for a balanced point of view when solving their disputes, if by "balanced" you mean "whoever funds my mad science projects the most gets my tiebreaker vote".

Ref-tek is being repainted at the moment.  I first painted him almost two years ago, and my painting skills have improved a lot (I hope...) since then.  Plus I was never truly satisfied with how I painted him in the first place.  There will be an update once he is finished.

Moments of Glory: Surviving the CSM deathball that laid Kobeh and a whole warrior blob flat, wielding basically all of the 5E Cryptek wargear at one point or another (not all at the same time, sadly).


Ref-tek has seen this view far too many times.
Near the glory, but not quite in the spotlight. So goes a Cryptek's job.
Ref-tek helps an irate Kobeh direct traffic on an especially congested battlefield.
