Warhammer 40,000 - Adeptus Mechanicus: Codex

Publisher: Games Workshop

The members of the Adeptus Mechanicus are the fanatical worshippers of the God-Machine of Mars.

For thousands of years, the robed priests of the Machine Cult have presided, with great veneration and ritual, over the making, maintenance, and preservation of humanity's remaining technological wonders.

Led by Technopriests whose fallible organic flesh has been replaced by metallic enhancements, their armies fight to defend their forge worlds and launch assaults across the galaxy in search of venerable archaeotechnology.

The ranks of the Machine Cult are made up of obedient cybernetic soldiers, heavy-handed robot warriors, and combat servitors.

They carry all manner of esoteric weapons capable of annihilating their enemies with deluges of irradiated ordnance or incinerating them with torrents of fiery energy.

Those who attempt to sabotage the divine works of the Omnimessiah must face the power of these ruthless mechanical war machines that know neither indulgence nor remorse.
