Adeptus Mechanicus

Overview:
The Adeptus Mechanicus is a technological organization, often known as the Priesthood of Mars. It holds a monopoly on technological knowledge in the Imperium. Their forge Worlds turn out the Imperium's most powerful and advanced weaponry and equipment. The organization's adepts, the Tech-priests, are vital in maintaining much of the Imperium's more technologically advanced equipment, not the least of which is the Emperor's life-sustaining Golden Throne.
While the Adeptus Mechanicus is a part of the Imperium, it has developed separately and enjoys a considerable degree of independence. Due to the great amount power it wields, the Adeptus Mechanicus is more like an allied empire than an organization within the Imperium. The Adeptus Mechanicus also follows a different religion from the rest of the Imperium. The religion and religious structure of the Adeptus Mechanicus is known as the Cult Mechanicus.
The symbol of the Adeptus Mechanicus is a skull, half-bone and half-machine, set against the background of a black and white cog.
Adepts of the Adeptus Mechanicus are known as tech-priests. Any member of the Cult Mechanicus over the rank of menial will often be referred to as a tech-priest, though Magi and higher ranks are usually referred to by rank.
As befits the religious nature of the Mechanicus, techpriests usually wear robes, which are usually either rust-red or white. Techpriests are often Imperial bionics. The level of a techpriest's augmentation is highly dependent on his rank within the Cult Mechanicus; a novice may have only one or two augmented systems, if any, while very senior members may have only a few biological organs left in their bodies.

  • Once my car's motor cutted, and I tried to start it but it didn't work. It was during winter, and I had to try and fix it. I worked for an hour, until I gave up. I just didn't have the right tools for the job. Frustrated, I hit the cylinder and yelled "By the Omnissiah!" The car started at that moment.

  • KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheVoiceOfReason93 yeah right now the imperium is on a very long decline, it'll probably end in the M50s, the only hope now is for the emperor to either "die" and resurrect, or the one of the primarchs return.

  • @TheVoiceOfReason93 For some reason I wish to know why the Emperor is so despise of alien races?

  • @CrypticWatcher

    Lol. Exactly my point. With that kinda attitude the Imperium would fall and their efforts would be meaningness.

  • @TheVoiceOfReason93 HERESY!!!

  • If only they stop being so prudish and start doing some actual innovation...and research alien tech for use...

  • @SgtShakenBake Do you mean Tabletop or actually. Actually saying "this is their army" is like saying "this is the Space Marine's army" when it's many difference things, the main troopers of the Mechanicus is the Skitarii which are basically the Guard but better. On Tabletop? You can just convert some Cadians and paint them red, they use pretty much the same weapons and Servitors are part of the Imperium.

  • this pleases the machine spirit.

  • @MrTechpriest also as I said before most of the their organs have been removed so that they fuction and require as much upkeep as any robot and far less expensive to maintain. they are feed nutrient paste instead of been charged and their internal organs keep alive their bionic parts.

  • @MrTechpriest well when, the galaxy is in a technological state of regression and the few places that can make robots are way too expensive to produce in bulk, this system is the most efficent for the what resources are at their finger tips.

    and they tried it before and they all rebelled and killed a entire sector and then the rest were buried.thats why the STC was found and destroyed.

  • @SgtShakenBake There is no army but they have defences,the titians are consider part of their army.
