You must rebuild, recover and take Gladius Prime’s secrets for your own. Now, however, your facility has been compromised, your Skitarii forces scattered and your subjects have escaped. It was little effort to hide the Adeptus Mechanicus research into the Tyranids here, in a facility deep beneath the ashen wastes. So Gladius Prime was your planet more than it was the Imperium’s-what Hive World was not? Its cities, its satellites, its wastes-all were built with Mars’ technology, all answered only to the Adeptus Mechanicus-that is, to you. In pursuit of that, you built the devices and machines that enabled the Imperium to conquer the galaxy 10,000 years ago and maintain it today. Following His edict, you have never doubted or ceased to pursue your calling-to gather knowledge and to employ it to gather more. You of the Adeptus Mechanicus-the Cult of the Machine God-have worshipped the Omnissiah long before the Imperium came to your world of Mars. "There is no certainty in flesh but death." "There is no constancy in flesh, only decay." "There is no strength in flesh, only weakness." Plus, cold, unfeeling cybernetic efficiency in battle against the merciless swirl of Chaos is always a recipe for action."There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal." This is a fantastic insight into the inner workings of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and a display of their resilience in the face of absolute disaster. When a cataclysm cuts him off from his tech-priest overseers, Stroika must rally his forces and battle corrupt machines and Chaos Space Marines if he is to achieve victory. A discovery of ancient technology sends a skitarii legion, commanded by Alpha Primus Haldron-44 Stroika, into battle on a forge world overrun by Chaos. Holy warriors, they carry the word of the Omnissiah across the galaxy, destroying the impure machines of aliens and renegades and spearheading the Quest for Knowledge.
The skitarii are the soldiers of the Machine God, the tireless legions of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
