They sure look like some genestealer hybrids, and the telepathic link adds one more argument to this theory. We will see next week the true origins of this faction, I hope.

[Ranlac_the_Black]

Mysterious and allways backstabbing.
I love them!

[pbr-streetgang]

First to say thanks…thanks for the video sir.👍🏼👍🏼

[WeOnlyEatSoup]

What a great origin video! I hope the sea gods theory is real 🔥🔥🔥

[trajanfidelis]

My personal favorite house. Thanks for the video!

All the mystery is fun and all, but it kind of makes them feel a bit more like a plot point then a full faction.

[SIGNOR-G]

A mix of genestealer cult and Alpha Legion

Always liked House Delaque since Necromunda first came out.

[donright]

Oh boy I love house Delaque ever since I watch the movie dark city which is a great movie they were almost basically the quintessential of these guys from the movie plus my interest in the house
Ordos in the dune game I fell in love with this faction, shadows is my invisibility secrets are my way of life 😁👍

[Matt-mdyt]

they are strange folk but have cool minis and lore

[benjamin]

Ahh the Deep Ones built Primus over Dread R'lyeh

[sohrabroozbahani]

So are the silent ones from the same alien species who made the portal that was destroyed during the great crusade and ruined Necromunda, making it Necromunda?

[epiendless]

His Shadow? Sounds like a Lexx crossover.

His Shadow is coming, His Shadow looms,
His Shadow is bringing our final doom
We cannot hide, you must listen to me,
this is the end of the Brunnen-G
Why don't you listen, why won't you hear,
our final hour is almost here
Do you want to do nothing and close your eyes,
you're blind and you're mad if you're waiting to die
His Shadow is coming I tell you it's true,
His Shadow will kill us, what shall we do
Now is the time to prepare for war,
or are you unable to fight anymore

[SerfsUp]

What about a long lost6m genestealer cult

[angry_zergling]

Is it Dell-ack or Dell-a-kay? Curious if anyone knows how they are pronounced in voice lines in games or within audio books.

Everything's elusive. Including not only a tan for the average pale fish of this “house”, sect, cult but the very essense of the information that these deviants from The Matric traffic in. With a representative symbol apparently based around an ouroboros of a horned viper but each head facing the outer world with gaping, dangerous maws the Delaque literally embody “unknowing” (what's under those trenchcoats?).
Nonetheless this identifiable group's chosen, basic basis for an outward garment style or uniform is blackly, creepily simple and reminds of the look of Imperial Inquisitors – both in Fantasy and in 40K. I see consecutive images of Delaque men after men but I don't think I want to see any of their women. A general, overall grim and practical look, here. Oh, and the sniping individual seen in this video's final image was able to grow or graft a mohawk's worth of hair out of whispers and misdirections.
The hobo spy network of Necromunda? Every story, piece of information and detail of their background from the Delaque are bait to intrigue yet hold no more belieavble verity from one to the other. Such as any foundation for their very name and the ancient origin involving a planet far in the past that bore any sea. By their transitory, undeclared nature, this faction seem to consider all of Necromunda, across all other houses' territories, to be as their own rightful land to cross at their whims. Or they even secretly consider the other clans to be as functionnaries for the Delaques' own purposes. What is the truth, after all? For one, the undeniable fact that none of these guys have ever had to bother with being concerned over body hair follicles. That the Silent Ones are...silent is no mystery, really. “His Shadow” reminds me of LEXX. Seemingly of or from within the shadows of this planet, the ever-present House of Shadow is interesting in its insistence upon mystery while simultaneously brokering in knowledge.
Perhaps these guys' very nature of remaining unknowable caused such a sense of unease in your Community polling's popularity, Narrator. As another facet to this world within this universe, I appreciate their complimentary complement. However the specific word/name “Delaque” eventually emerged from this House of Shadow... Anyway, thank you very much for rounding out your introductory overviews to these clans of Necromunda, GDN. Even if this group's history may repeat much information due to their very secrey; maybe not. Only this house knows what truth there is. Don't they? Until next time, GDN, I bid you a healthy and awesome rest of your week and weekend. The Emperor protects!

I'm not saying it's Genestealers.

But it's Genestealers.

[Balrog]

ROFL nothing weird going on here. Please direct further inquiries to 'being sacrificed to our fish god'. My kind of people :)

[JZUK]

Delaque comes across to me as .... lacking something 😏 amongst the brighter primary colours of the other gangs they don't seem as solid a base to build a good story around to me...
