Acidic whip

A thick ropey appendage smacked against the hydraulic piston of the assault ramp, anchoring itself on razored barbs. The plasteel hissed and spat as acidic venoms ate into its surface. The lash wrapped itself tighter around the piston, coiling more and more of itself around it, before a clawed hand snatched hold of the lip of the assault ramp.

A form of cracked purple armour, riven with howling faces and drenched in blood, hauled itself up the ramp as the Talon Queen leapt into the sky. Lucius uncoiled his lash from around the piston as the assault ramp rose to seal itself.
