Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Adeptus Mechanicus: Skitarii Marshall

Product Information

The Skitarii Legions do not fight alone, for they escort the vast goliaths of the Centurio Ordinatus to war, and even march in the shadow of the god-machines of the Titan Legions. It is the Skitarii that bolster the battle robots of the Legio Cybernetica and they who act as bodyguards for Tech-priests brave enough to take the field.

The Skitarii are fearsome foes, relentless in the pursuit of the Omnissiah's agenda and equipped with the most advanced weaponry in the Imperium. Ultimately, though, each is but a cybernetic vessel for the will of the Tech-priests. In the heat of battle, the Skitarii will be remotely controlled by data imperatives that boost their minds and bodies to inhuman levels. Relics of Mars are items of terrifying power that are sometimes bestowed upon a Skitarii Alpha or Sicarian Princeps by a senior tech-priest for them to field-test. The following are known examples of such potent relics: Like most 9th Edition books, you can’t mix units with multiple different keywords in the same detachment, so you’ll definitely get some of these, so let’s take a look. There are seven named Forge Worlds, four flavours of Custom Forge World with unique abilities you can select, and a fifth Custom type letting you create the AdMech equivalent of a successor chapter. Combined Landing : If a Detachment contains multiple ARCHAEOPTER TRANSVECTOR models, you can choose for pairs of them to make combined landings instead of setting them up on the battlefield. For each combined landing that you want to make, select two < FORGE WORLD> AGRIPINAA GRAIA LUCIUS MARS METALICA RYZA STYGIES VIII ARCHAEOPTER TRANSVECTOR models: As befits the Omnissiah’s servants, the Adeptus Mechanicus roster has been tweaked and added to several times since its first arrival, and now you can find every unit in one convenient place, from the venerable Skitarii Rangers to the ingenious Archaeopter Stratoraptor . With a host of improvements to their weaponry and rules, there’s never been a better time to exchange weak flesh for holy machine.The box includes range rulers, blast markers, flame templates (remember those, Warhammer veterans?), and everything else you need to play full games from the outset. There are also 16 bespoke Necromunda dice because there’s no such thing as too many dice. Power Sword - A power weapon sheathed in the lethal haze of a disruptive energy field that eats through armour, flesh and bone with ease.

Broad Spectrum Data-Tether - A vehicle-mounted version of that carried by veteran Skitarii, the broad spectrum data-tether projects a Tech-priest's binharic blurts with such clarity it seems he is amongst the ranks of the Skitarii himself. Imperatives delivered via such information relays are more potent and reliable than any other.Smoke Launcher - Some vehicles have small launchers mounted onto them that carry smoke canisters. These are used to temporarily obscure the vehicle behind billowing clouds of smoke, allowing it to cross open areas in greater safety -- although it does so at the cost of being able to fire its own weapons. The locations of the surviving Forge Worlds and Mechanicus Knight Worlds after the formation of the Great Rift in 999.M41. The Ruststalkers of the Skitarii Legions fall upon their foes in a slashing, stabbing frenzy. Their transonic blades blur as they dart and cut like the weapons of gladiatorial knife-fighters, the deadly resonances they transmit bypassing armour as if it offered no more resistance than a hologram. The Ruststalkers were originally devised as cybernetic assassins, sent into the Red Planet's wastes to hunt down feral servitors and other undesirables excommunicated from the Cult Mechanicus. They proved so effective at their task they were repurposed and militarised into groups known as "killclades." Some weapons have ‘Blast’ listed in their profile’s abilities. These are referred to as Blast weapons. In addition to the normal rules, the following rules apply to Blast weapons:
