The Adeptus Mechanicus

The Adeptus Mechanicus covet technology in all its forms and await the arrival of the Omnissiah, a prophesised physical
avataroftheMachineGod.TheAdeptusMechanicusbelievethatalltechnologyisinhabitedbyaSpiritoftheOmnissiah,a
lesser aspect of their central deity. A reasonable man might suggest that they are mistaking the primitive remnants of
Artificial Intelligence found in Imperial technology, for something spiritual. However the Cult Mechanicus are far from
reasonablemen

The ultimate goal of the Cult Mechanicus is to understand the Omnissiah. The communal and personal attempt at this is
knownastheQuestforKnowledge,andfollowersviewthisendeavourasparamountasandmoreimportantthananyother
concern. Generally, the Quest is pursued by scientific and exploratory endeavour. The Cult believes that all knowledge
alreadyexists,anditisprimarilyamatteroftimebeforeitcanbegatheredtogethertocompletetheQuest.Itistherefore
disinclined to perform much original research, and considers it more important to safeguard that which it has already
accrued and gather more by searching for STC templates and the like. Some original research does happen, although the
resultsofsuchendeavoursarestrictlyquarantinedformanyyearsbeforebeingdisseminatedpublicly.

SUMMARY

23

A MAN MAY DIE YET STILL ENDURES IF HIS WORK ENTERS THE GREATER WORK. TIME IS CARRIED
UPON A CURRENT INCEPTED BY FORGOTTEN DEEDS. EVENTS OF GREAT MOMENT ARE BUT THE
CULMINATION OF A SINGLE CAREFULLY PLACED THOUGHT. AS ALL MEN MUST THANK PROGENITORS OBSCURED BY
THE PAST, SO MUST WE ENDURE THE PRESENT THAT THOSE WHO COME AFTER MAY CONTINUE GREATER WORK.

Secutors
human lives and the other concerns of the
Mechanicus.

Some techpriests become secutors because of a

hatredoftechhereticsandloveofwarandconflict,
while others are fascinated by the intellectual
challengesofwarfare,strategyorperhapsaloveof
weaponsmithing. Others, of course, merely use the
path of the Secutor as a mean to further their
politicalpower,notmindingextensivegraftsofsiege
weaponrytotheirbodyifitmeanscomingaheadin
the Adeptus. At the behest at their Archmagos
mastersoftheForgeWorldtheyhailfrom,secutors
aresentalongwithexploratorfleets,ImperialGuard
regiments and Rogue Traders to retrieve ancient
technology, often where such retrieval is made
extremelydangerousbythepresencefromxenosor
chaos forces, and the martial skill of a secutor is
neededtoensuretheprotectionoftechtreasures.

Tech Priest Cabals engaged on the battlefield often

include members of the Secutor order. Huge

sometimesancientweaponry,Secutorsembodythe
military potential of the Mechanicus in the arts of

tointerfacewiththeirimplants.

Secutors are members of military sects and

formations within the Adeptus Mechanicus that
devote themselves to the art of warfare with a
fervour other techpriests normally reserve for
tinkering with ancient technology. To them, the
protection of the technological mysteries of the
machinecult,fromthosewhowouldmisusethem,is
a far greater concern than anything else, including

The Ordo Reductor is one of the few organisations to

maintain the Rapier Laser Destroyer. A venerable
design that dates back to the earliest days of the
Imperium, temperamental and difficult to maintain, it
has fallen increasingly into disuse over the millennia.
Considerably more powerful than the standard issue
Lascannon, its multibarrel design allows for optimal
