Praise the Omnissiah!
Masters of the calculus of war, the Adeptus Mechanicus faction is relatively quick, great at ranged combat, and armed with a ton of combat tools that draw on their unique access to technology.
Leading their forces are two augmented commanders, each embodying a different aspect of the Omnissiah’s will. Players can choose between the Technoarcheologist, Potentia-Delta 9, or the Skitarii Marshal, Sek-Ix-23, tailoring their approach to domination on Kronus.
With a focus on precision, synergy, and overwhelming technological superiority, The Adeptus Mechanicus are not just engineers or scientists; they are instruments of war.
Whatever lies ahead, the Adeptus Mechanicus knows one truth: the holy Quest for Knowledge must not falter.
