The Adeptus Mechanicus are fervent worshippers of the Machine God on Mars. For millennia, the hooded priests of the Machine Cult have overseen the creation, upkeep, and protection of Humanity's remaining technological marvels with deep respect and ceremonial rites. Guided by Tech-Priests whose frail organic bodies have been replaced by mechanical enhancements, their armies defend forge worlds and venture across the galaxy in search of ancient archeotech.
Within the ranks of the Machine Cult are legions of obedient cybernetic soldiers, massive combat robots, and battle servitors. Armed with a variety of obscure weapons, they can obliterate enemies with radioactive salvos or immolate them with torrents of blazing energy. Those who attempt to disrupt the sacred works of the Omnissiah must confront the formidable force of this ruthless mechanical war engine, devoid of mercy or regret.
