Mini Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus

The Cult of the Machine God
This army list represents an Adeptus Mechanicus Questing or Exploratory army, not a full-blown army such as would be fielded along the lines of their Epic 40K list. As such, it is a much lighter force than the full might of the Adeptus Mechanicus would normally use in combat, but is more suited to the Exploratory nature of the force.

Here the Tech-Priests are in search of lost relics from the Dark Age of Technology, such as Standard Template Construct (STC) systems. In these missions they often encounter hostile forces (usually determined not to give up such items!), and thus they are accompanied by their own combat forces. They sometimes also accompany other forces of the Imperium when it suits their own inscrutable purposes. The Cult Mechanicus guards its secrets carefully, and none but the dreaded Inquisition dare question them.

These rules are experimental, written by Tim Huckleberry at Games Workshop. Permission has been granted for their free distribution providing nothing is changed and his name and email address is on them.
