Adeptus Mechanicus kill teams scour the galaxy for information and lost archaeotech, exterminating any they deem tech-heretics. Composed of warriors who are more machine than man, each kill team is optimised to carry out specific sets of battlefield protocols. Furthermore, their cybernetics let them wage skirmish campaigns in environments that would kill unaugmented soldiers, allowing them to infiltrate enemy compounds in rad-blasted wastes and conduct hit-and-run attacks for months on end without sustenance or shelter. With every encounter, the members of a kill team gather more data concerning their enemy and adapt their subroutines to eliminate them.
Skitarii Rangers are the backbone of many Adeptus Mechanicus kill teams. Utterly relentless in their duty, once a target has been assigned via their neurosync implants, only death will stymie their purpose.
Skitarii Vanguard – or rad-troopers as they are commonly known – are so infused with baleful radium energies that their mere presence has a debilitating effect on nearby enemies, all but ensuring their demise.
These Sicarian warriors emit a neurostatic aura of white noise that confounds nearby enemies, leaving them traumatised and vulnerable to the Infiltrator’s ferocious assault or the murderous firepower of its kill team.
Sicarian Ruststalkers are swift and deadly cybernetic assassins. Each such creation is able to defeat many times its own number, as enemy armour offers no more resistance than holograms against the Ruststalkers’ humming transonic weaponry.
Engineer mystics, steeped in arcane knowledge. Their cog-toothed power axes and mechadendrites give them strength beyond any normal human.
Desperate to prove the superiority of the Machine God through the white-hot crucible of war, each is an expert in weapons arcana.
Masters of galvanic fields, their magnarail lance makes them dangerous at range, while their Omnissian staff is lethal in combat.
Truly blessed by the Omnissiah, they are able to destroy their foes with living lightning that arcs from their gauntlets.
Armed with electroleech staves, they can suck the very bioelectricity from living creatures, leaving their enemies as cold and motionless as stone.
