Adeptus Mechanicus faction overview
The Adeptus Mechanicus is the Imperium's tech-priesthood — cyborg warriors, walking robots, and arcane war machines drawn from Mars and the Forge Worlds. Skitarii Rangers and Vanguard, Kataphron Destroyers, Kastelan Robots and Tech-Priest Dominus characters define the range.
Buying advice for second-hand collectors
AdMech kits are stable since the 2015 launch. The Skitarii Vanguard/Ranger box, Kataphron Destroyers and Kastelan Robots are the second-hand essentials. Watch for missing weapon options on Kataphrons — they ship with both grav-cannon and plasma options.
Collecting & army-building advice
Forge World identity (Mars red, Lucius white/black, Stygies VIII black/teal, Graia silver) drives the scheme. Most lists run 2–3 Skitarii squads, Kataphron Destroyers, Kastelan Robots, an Onager Dunecrawler and a Tech-Priest Dominus.
