Like say, is it possible that a High-Lord of Terra, (like say, Goge Vandire), or a Tau Ethereal, or an Eldar farseer ,or a Tyranid organism like a Norn-Queen or Hive Tyrant could be under the active influence of one without anyone ever finding out ?

Since the Necrons are patient and manipulative it seems like they could use it as a cheap way of enhancing their goals over the millennium without anyone being the wiser.

Also is there any effective range on a Scarab and can they subvert machines like Wraith constructs or augmented individuals like Dreadnoughts or a martian tech-priests ?

Of course, being a Sister, her strength of will was powerful enough to short the thing out and make it glitch all to heck (she presumably passed a lot of 3d6 leadership tests!)...

Basically, though, it seems they need to be in physical skin-to-shell contact, probably getting their little claws literally into your nervous system to have any effect. I suspect that anyone important enough to subvert this way who is competent enough for it to be worth it would be able to fight off the scarab's influence eventually.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627001/7429393.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627001/7429393.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627001/7430246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627001/7430246.page GMT

Near the end it explicitly mentions them 'activating' the scarabs that have infested a Tech Priest, and that they're having him fake results to lure a party of Ad Mech to their world which they can test their guys on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627001/7430377.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627001/7430377.page GMT MSS would certainly explain Abaddons failed crusades over the years (I don't care that it was ret conned, he failed every bloody time)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627001/7434876.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627001/7434876.page GMT
