The Adeptus Mechanicus are the fanatical worshippers of the Machine God of Mars. For thousands of years the robed priests of the Machine Cult have presided over the fabrication, maintenance, and preservation of Humanity’s surviving technological wonders with reverence and ritual. Led by Tech-Priests whose weak organic flesh has been replaced with metallic augmentations, their armies fight to defend forge worlds and strike out across the galaxy in search of ancient archeotech. Among the Machine Cult's ranks are cohorts of obedient cybernetic soldiers, lumbering warrior robots, and battle servitors. They bear an array of esoteric weapons, capable of annihilating foes in volleys of irradiated ammunition or incinerating them with torrents of searing energy. Those who seek to sabotage the divine works of the Omnissiah must face the might of this merciless mechanical war machine, devoid of both pity and remorse.

A Sydonian Skatros is a sinister cybernetic sentinel, stoic and unmoving until the moment an enemy strays into range of their huge rifle. Mechanical, stilt-like limbs allow them to traverse hazardous terrain and survey the environment, shrouded by a smog of incense-exhaust. With protocol-driven precision and an advanced scanner known as the achillan eye, they lock on to their foes’ weakpoints and unleash pinpoint fire that sows panic and agony – all the better for eroding enemy morale. This multipart plastic kit builds one Sydonian Skatros, an augmented sniper created by the Adeptus Mechanicus. This Skitarii sharpshooter can be armed with one of two long-barrelled guns – a radium jezzail, which fires radioactive bullets that pierce armour and poison flesh, or a high-powered transuranic arquebus. Each weapon comes with its own bionic loader-arm, as well as an ammunition pack for the Skatros' belt, which sports a holstered pistol for closer foes. The kit also includes a choice of two different headset designs for the Skatros – a sinister mono-visor, or a pair of staring goggle-lenses – which can be worn over their cyborg facemask or pushed up onto their forehead. This kit comprises 21 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints. -
The Skorpius Disintegrator of the Adeptus Mechanicus drifts gracefully across the dunes, its anti-grav motors thrumming quietly in stark contrast to its thundering guns. As it accompanies the advancing Skitarii phalanxes, the Skorpius Disintegrator delivers punishing salvoes from its ferrumite or belleros energy cannons, while its cognis heavy stubbers and disruptor missile launcher spit death at any who would threaten the armoured vessel. In addition to its flanking pair of cognis heavy stubbers, and prow-mounted disruptor missile launcher, the Skorpius Disintegrator bears a ferrumite cannon or a voltaic belleros energy cannon. Its primary turret weapon is manned by a Servitor gunner that has been hard-wired into the weapon for optimal performance. The multipart plastic kit is comprised of 104 components. It can be assembled with a crewman set in one rear cupola, or with both hatches closed. Warhammer 40,000 rules for this vehicle can all be found in its assembly guide (included in the set). -
Marshals lead the maniples and cohorts of Skitarii soldiery. They are veteran warriors of countless crusades, privileged to bear enhanced augmentations. Marshals stand as intermediaries between Skitarii formations and their priestly masters, employing sacred uplinks to refine their warriors’ doctrines closer to holy perfection. If you're after a suitable commander for your Skitarii maniple, look no further than a Marshal to lead them into battle. As a senior officer of the Skitarii, a Marshal not only makes the perfect choice thematically, but their presence bolsters the efficiency of nearby units under their command. This kit builds 1x Skitarii Marshal. It comes in 9 plastic components and includes a Citadel 32mm Round Base. -

Much larger and far more powerful than the servitors used by the rest of the Imperium, Kataphron Breachers are not so much born as assembled. Fulfilling the role of living shield and battering ram, they are used by Tech-Priests to smash apart enemy lines and fortifications on their insatiable quest for technology to assimilate. Utterly deadly at close-quarters, their heavily-armoured torsos and covered tracks carve a brutal swathe through anything in their path. These miniatures truly capture the techno-centric nature of the Adeptus Mechanicus; only half a head and a part of their torso remains human. Included are three track assemblies(with optional armour and mud guards for Breachers), three sets of Breacher heads and torso armour, three interchangeable exhausts and a HUGE array of weapons: arc rifles, torsion cannons, arc claws, hydraulic claws, plasma culverin assemblies, heavy grav cannon assemblies, phosphor blaster assemblies and three cognis flamer assemblies. Twenty-four weapon options in total! This multi-part plastic kit contains an impressive 157 components, with which you can make three Battle Servitors, either Kataphron Breachers or Kataphron Destroyers.

Now more machine than man, the Sicarian Infiltrators are a hideous, frightening strike force - the height of Adeptus Mechanicus posthuman engineering. Enemies fall, deafened and blinded by the scree of a brutally disruptive audiovisual assault; battles are often decided before even a single kill is confirmed. This multi-part plastic kit contains all the parts necessary to build five Adeptus Mechanicus Sicarians - either Sicarian Ruststalkers or Sicarian Infiltrators, including one princeps. Each model features extensive body modification - flesh has given way to machine, and what little remains is encased in pressurised armour. Sensors, pressure gauges and data arrays cover their surfaces, and an included five sets of legs add a variety of posing options, making your squad truly your own. The Sicarian Infiltrators are the scout class; almost their entire human heads have been replaced with an intricate domed helm allowing a three-hundred and sixty degree view of the battlefield. Two weapon options are available to each model - ten sets of stubcarbine and power sword, or ten sets of taser goad and flechette blaster; a total of twenty weapons in the box. Their princeps carries a stubcarbine and power sword, with an included infoslave skull - every movement recorded and analysed for the optimisation of battle. The box contains 117 components, and is supplied with five 40mm Round bases. -
Technoarcheologists are seekers of divine mechanical arcana, driven to uncover that which is hidden, and to analyse its capabilities. Hardened to life on the Imperium’s dangerous frontiers, these priests employ cogitative instincts to detect approaching foes and awaken their servitor guardians to effective modes of attack. Even in the midst of battle, Technoarcheologists guide their servants through vital procedures with a machine-like focus. This multipart plastic kit builds one Technoarcheologist, a specialist Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Armed with a powerful eradication pistol and clad in hooded robes, this bionic sage is festooned with the tools, pouches, and sensors of their profession – including a disruptive omni-scrambler and the sparking servo-arc claw affixed to their backpack. The kit comprises five plastic push-fit components, and is supplied with 1x Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints -
Literally filled with the Motive Force, the Corpuscarii spread the blessing of illumination in the name of the Machine God. Blazing with lightning, electrosurgically prepared for the unimaginable power coursing through what was once their veins, a Corpuscarii Electro-Priest discharges incredible, sparking bursts of thrumming energy, shaking apart enemies in an ecstatic religious fervour. The Corpuscarii Electro-Priest comes armed with a pair of electrostatic gauntlets, with five pairs and their respective power pack assemblies included in the box. Included are five different torsos, five heads and ten head crests (five of which are Corpuscarii, five Fulgurite). This eighty-two component, multi-part plastic kit contains everything needed to build Five Corpuscarii or five Fulgurite Electro-Priests. These detailed miniatures are supplied with five Citadel 32mm Round Bases. -
The Tech-Priests of Mars march forth at the head of cybernetic legions, protected by barely understood relics of a bygone era, and wielding devastating and bizarre weapons to obliterate their foes. This set includes 16 six-sided dice, measuring 16mm along each squared-off edge. They are cast in red with a pearlised effect and matte white markings with the Opus Machina, symbol of the Adeptus Mechanicus, on the 6 face of each dice. -
Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl was already old at the dawn of the Imperium, over ten thousand years ago. During that span of ages the Tech-Priest has served as a Forge Lord, a Lexico Arcanus and a renowned Magos Biologis. On the battlefield Cawl is a force to be reckoned with, fearlessly scuttling into the thick of the fighting, assessing threats and broadcasting carefully planned orders to his troops. Most enemy fire is thwarted by his force field; however even when parts of his mechanised body are blown off, cables snake out in a whir of activity to effect immediate repairs, or swarm anything that dares comes close… This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble Belisarius Cawl, Prime Conduit of the Omnissiah. Towering over his Adeptus Mechanicus brethren, he stands much taller than even other favoured Tech-Priests of the Omnissiah, with countless augmentations distorting his barely-human frame. He carries an Omnissian axe, which acts as a convenient mounting point for an array of sensors and his voice broadcasting unit, and an arc scourge – this arcane energy weapon is covered in cables, sensors and extra appendages. This theme of augmentation is continued throughout – Cawl’s robes are not-quite covering a massive amount of robotic extensions, with several extra legs, prehensile arms and cables dragging along behind him. A scryerskull hovers above, and there are several symbols of the Machine God dotted about the miniature. Belisarius Cawl comes as 42 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 105mm x 70mm Oval base
