I wish to give special thanks to the people whom helped make this codex a reality.

To Rob Gerdich, for his extensive knowledge of the warhammer 40,00 universe which often surpasses my own. For
his countless words of encouragement,and for letting me loot his bitz on many occasions to help many models seen in
this book come into being.

To Chris Eimers, for letting me play with several of these models in our many Apocalypse games.

To Big Mike, for being just being awesome and helping me out with my bits and offering suggestions to me.

To Bob Pettis, for your countless words of encouragement, countless suggestions on models and rules, your many
warhammer gifts,` for selling me discounted armies, and for introducing me to the game of warhammer.

To John Parmarter, for letting me trade bits, without you much more money would have gone into the construction of
these models.

To Scott Hansen, for giving me a few models that were essential to this army.

To the Folks at Tempus fugitives and Bell of lost souls for releasing your min-dexes and rules for additional models.

To anyone else who released codexes with similar rules to those found here and models similar to those found here, it
almost certainly is no coincidence, you help me out too.
 Daemon Prince
There are fewer Daemon princes serving under the banner of the Mechmarines as compared to the traitor
legions. Though this is to be expected as the Mechmarines only turned to chaos in the last 750 years. Daemon princes of
the mechmarines however are known for being extraordinarily resilient to all but the most powerful of weapons as the
mechmarines have developed ways to implant bionics into daemons. And have equipped their daemon princes with dark
weapons capable of rending reality itself. Any spine or horn on their body has also had power fields worked into them.

 Mechmarine Captain
Mechmarine captains lead an entire company of mechmarines just as an Ultramarine captain does. However mechmarine
captains tend to be equipped in a similar manner to the company they lead. This means that a captain leading a support
company will be equipped with heavy weapons. While a captain that leads a scout company will forsake power armour for
the scout carapace armour.

 Mechmarines Terminators
Many veteran Mechmarines enter battle wearing the rightly feared tactical dreadnought armour or as it is more commonly
known, Terminator armour. The armour is massively bulky and contains a full artificial skeleton of fibre bundles and
adamantium rods to support the heavy gauge plaststeel and ceramite plates that form the outer carapace. A terminator can
move and operate with remarkable freedom and agility considering the sheer mass of the actual armour, which provides
as much protection as an armoured tank.

Mechmarine Terminators tend to be armed with a mix of close combat weaponry. Mechmarines wielding Power fists,
power swords, lightning claws or thunder-hammers are often seen in the same squad. However the Mechmarines often
designate some squads to be Destroyer Terminators and are armed with two powerfists or two thunder-hammers

Combat robots are fully functioning artificial intelligence units created by the Mechmarines. They fulfill the same role in
battle as Dreadnoughts do in Imperial Space Marine chapters. Mechmarine combat robots can be fitted with a wide array
of armaments and fight in groups of three, one of which is designed to lead the other two into battle and is fitted with ad-
ditional weapons and a larger casing.

 Techmarine
Techmarines are the backbone of the mechmarines, they supply bionics to those soldiers that have lost limbs in battle or
whose wounds are to grave for apothecaries to heal. They also maintain the chapters weapons and vehicles. Unlike the
imperiums techmarines whom are trained on mars where technology is not fully understood, the techmarines of the mech-
marines chapter are trained in on many different warpforges where technology is pushed to new limits.

Special rules: WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv

knowledge of technology:if a techmarine is in base contact with a damaged vehicle during the shooting phase it may at-
tempt to repair it instead of firing roll a D6 and add the following modifiers:
Each servitor with a servo-arm in the unit +1
The techmarine has a servo-harness +1
If the result is a five or more than either a weapon destroyed or immobilized result(owning players choice) if a weapon
destroyed result was repaired the vehicle may fire in the following shooting phase. The techmarine cannot repair if gone to
ground or falling back.

Bolster Defences: each techmarine can bolster a single ruin before the game begins. When you deploy, nominate one ruin
in your deployment area for your techmarine to bolster. The ruin's cover save is increased by one for the duration of the
game(a 4+ would be a 3+ ). A ruin can only be bolstered once.

Wargear
Servo-arm: techmarines and servitors are equipped with powerful servo-arms that can be used for battlefield repairs or
even put to use as a weapon. Each servo-arm grants the model a single extra close combat attack, made separately at
initiative 1 strength 8 ignoring armour saves.

Servo-harness: a servo harness gives the techmarine an extra servo-arm (giving him two servo arm attacks), plasma
cutter (fired in the shooting phase as a twin-linked plasma pistol but cannot be used in close combat), and a flamer. In the
shooting phase the techmarine can fire either both harness mounted weapons or one harness weapon and one other gun
 Servitors
Servitors are slaves charged with menial tasks. Servitors are essential to both the imperium and the mechmarines. They
perform all the small repairs on weapons and vehicles, some are charged with sorting the vast compilation of technical
knowledge in the mechmarines libraries. Servitor not only service machines or sort through knowledge but sometimes are
put to use as disposable soldiers. Some are armed with nothing more than there servo arm, while others are armed with
heavy bolters or more powerful weapons such as multi-melta or a plasma cannon. Servitors start out as humans that have
either gone insane or have failed an important task and have been forced into a life as a servitor.

the test is passed and the unit can function normally for the remainder of
the turn. If the result is a 1, 2 or a 3 the unit has succumbed to mindlock –
the unit (and any characters) may not move, shoot or assault that turn (if
the unit is in combat they will fight normally). If a techmarine or master
of the forge is part of the unit then the test is passed automatically.

Master of the forge
Masters of the forge are Venerable Techmarines whom have are privy to the secrets of the mechanicus and the forbidden
knowledge of the dark mechanicus. they are able to understand and maintain the many exotic
weapons and vehicles of the Mechmarines. Many of which were reconstructed from rediscoverd STC fragments that the
Mechmarines have uncovered since their secession others were taken from the many Forge Worlds that the Mechmarines
have invaded

Tactical Mechmarines form the majority of the Mechmarines fighting force. they are equipped to be able to fight both ma-
jor roles in a battle (Ranged and Close Combat). However they are most often used as an infantry support squad they can
lay a hail of fire from their bolters and are able to bring a single heavy weapon and a single special weapon. These squads
Usually carry a banner bearing the Symbol of The mechmarines which inspires positive moral amongst the marines.

Mechmarines
Mechmarines that have proven themselves exceptionally skilled at close combat fight are removed from their squad and
undergo dermal reinforcement surgery. Dermal reinforcement is a process that involves implanting high density biologi-
cally receptive plates between the dermis layer and epidermis layer of skin. these marines also undergo further muscle
enhancements to make them even stronger and even faster.

Unlike the berzerkers of the world eater legion, Reinforced Assailers are not mindless and are quite capable of reassessing
the battlefield and following complex orders.

 Mechmarine Attack speeders
Mechmarines use specially designed Attack Speeders engineered from Eldar Jet Bikes and Eldar Vypers in place of Land
Speeders. However even ones with such mighty intellect and skills as the Mechmarines are not able to divulge all the
secrets from the Eldar technology. As such Mechmarine Attack Speeders are a little larger than a land speeder to accom-
modate the miniaturized plasma reactors necessary to Fuel such powerful and engines and miniaturized Turbo Fan jets
(around the size of Space marine Helmet) used for maneuvering. The plasma reactors also power the Gyroscopic Electro-
magnetic Field Emitters The mechmarines use instead of the fragile Repulsion Plates of the imperium. However even with
such power Attack speeders are no match for Eldar Bikes but certainly a match for the Imperial Land Speeder. Because
the Gyroscopic Electromagnetic Field Emitters are much more powerful than Imperial Repulsion Plates Mechmarine At-
tack Speeders have, Attack speeders can have much denser armour plating.

Support Terminator squads are exclusive to the Mechmarine chapter. A Mechmarine who has proven to be exceptionally

 Executioner Predator
The Mechmarines hold a special place in their hearts for technology that the Mechanicus has difficulty
replicating. For since their secession the mechmarines have been gifted knowledge from human empires from the halo
stars whom have thriving societies with multiple STC fragments. Among other things, these fragments held information
on the production of Plasma reactors and weaponry, ranging in size from handheld to starship class. Using this informa-
tion the Mechmarines were able to create the Executioner Predator and the Land Raider Solar.

The Executioner predator is based off the venerable and durable Rhino chassis. In place of troop carrying
capacity of the rhino, the Executioner Predator holds plasma generators used to both power the engines of tank and to fuel
the weaponry, a single modified executioner plasma cannon and two plasma cannon sponsons.

Because the Plasma Generator produce such vast amounts of energy that even venting it through the weapons does not
release enough energy, the Mechmarines have installed Much more powerful engines that can propel the tank across the
battlefield. So fast do these engines propel that tank that it is highly possible for the drivers to keep up with the Attack
Speeders.

 Dragonfire Predator
Along with the information regarding plasma from the Halo Stars STC was information regarding fuel injection for spon-
son mounted melta weapons. At last the Mechmarines were finally able to bring the design of an effect anti armour tank
to fruition. The Dragonfire predator was born! Requiring less maintenance than a Predator with lascannons and highly
reduced payload the Dragonfire was a success. With a turret mounted Melta cannon and two sponson mounted melta
cannons and capable of mounting a pintle mounted Multi-melta, the Dragons fire predator is truly a beast worthy such a
name.

 Electron Ark Cannon
Electron Ark Cannons are extremely powerful Artillery pieces and are devastating to army with large amounts of infantry.
Capable of incapacitating even rampaging Carnifexs it is a truly powerful weapon. When turned upon large amounts of
densely packed infantry the Ark Cannon is able to jump from victim to victim sometimes even squad to squad. Destroying
whole platoons in minutes. However due to the vast amounts of energy being shot from the cannon it will inevitably will
need on field maintenance as such a techmarine is always standing by.

subsequent units as it did from the first). The Guns profile is now: Str 5 AP 4. Roll another 3d6 again for
each unit hit to determine the number of hits roll to wound as normal. Only after this may your opponent
make a saving roll.
 Land Raider
Land raiders are not rare in the mechmarines chapter in fact, because of the many captured forge worlds and the re-discov-
ered STC fragments, the Mechmarines are able to produce a constant supply of these tanks.

 Leman Russ Battle Tank
The leman russ is undeniably the most versatile tank in the imperium. The Mechmarines have noticed this and have
started producing hundreds of Leman Russ chassis to bring to bear their exotic weaponry upon their foes. the Leman Russ
is also a very reliable tank able to move even whilst firing large cannons, as they have many recoil suppressors and dis-
persers around the turret and even built onto the barrels of the guns themselves. The mechmarines use few of the weapons
found on imperial leman russ tanks but instead prefer to mount their own weapons onto the sturdy tank

The leman russ Pulsar is equipped with an electron

a high rate of fire. Capable of destroying Space
Marines in Terminator Armour it is truly a destruc-
tive weapon. The Pulsar also employs heavy elec-
tron beam projectors. Larger versions of the electron
beam projector they require a much greater amount
of power and therefore may on be employed on
vehicles.

Leman Russ Demolisher

The only imperial variant of the Leman Russ used
by the mechmarines. It has a turret mounted demol-
isher cannon and can carry a variety of other sponson
weapons.

Leman Russ Hunter

The Leman Russ Hunter takes the place of left
from the absence of the normal predator. In fact
it performs the role better than a predator would
have as it has room for more weapons.

Leman Russ Beholder

Carrying a turret mounted Whirlwind mis-
sile launcher and Sponson mounted Typhoon
missile launchers, the beholder is truly a siege
weapon. It no longer carries a hull mounted
weapon due to the targeting matrix that takes
up that space. It can also be seen carrying
a turret mounted thunderfire cannon again
forsaking the hull mount for loading space, but
allowing for a more accurate bombardment.
 Cyberwing Gunship
A larger version of the Attack Speeder, The Cyber wing gunship employs heavier armour and additional weaponry. With
additional space for larger generators, the Cyberwing can employ devastating weapons. With Lightning, laser and plasma,
the Cyberwing gunship screeches across the battlefield delivering death as it flies.
 Mechmarines Rhino
As with all Space Marines, the Mechmarines make extensive use of rhinos, however the mechmarines have found out
how to mount a single heavy weapon onto a rhino without compromising any transport capacity. This combined with their
development of stronger yet lighter allows of metals has made the Mechmarines Rhino a greater threat than those of any
other Space Marine fighting force.

specially designed so that the passengers may place their weapons into them and fire using only the ammunition or power
packs they carry, effectively not taking up additional transport space.

 Drop Pod
Just as the majority of imperial space marines use drop pods to reach the battlefield swiftly so too do the Mechmarines.
Resembling a life pod in look and function but are guided by much more sophisticated systems. Drop pods are fitted with
a weapon to provide covering fire while the marines disembark from it.

Special Rules:

Drop Pod Assault: Drop Pods always enter

play using the deep strike rules from the mission

Transport: special rules in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

The Drop Pod has a Transport capacity of 12 mod-
els. It can Transport a single Robot or Electron ark
Cannon.
Once the Drop Pod has landed its hatches are
blown and all passengers must immediately dis-
embark, as normal. Once Passengers have disem-
barked, no models can embark on the Drop Pod for
the remainder of the Game.
Fire Points and Access Points: Once de-
poloyed the Drop Pod is no longer a sealed envi-
ronment and is Therefore Open-Topped.
At the beginning of our first turn, you may choose
half of your Drop Pods (rounding up) to make a

sault arrive on the players first turn. The arrival of
the remaining Drop Pods is rolled for as normal.
A unit that Deeps Strikes via drop pod may not

 Insignus Ferrum
Supreme Forge Master

Insignus Ferrum is the most Venerable of all the Mechmarines. Approaching 900 Terran years he still fights with vigor.
Much of his remaining organic body is not his original but Produced In vats to replace what has been lost in countless bat-
tles. He has been responsible for the construction of many of the Mechmarines unique weapons of war. Before Insignus
takes Part in a battle he inspects the weapons of all who will partake in the battle, insuring their unique and specialized
weapons meet his standard. When a weapon does not meet his expectations he will disassemble the weapon on the spot,
cleaning, repairing and adjusting every part until the weapon functions better than it ever has. So long has he worked with
the weapons and equipment of the chapter that when he repairs a marines weapon it takes merely minutes.

Once Insignus has inspected all the weapons of the battleforce he takes control of his combat walker striding across the
battlefield dealing death and destraction both near and far.

 Sharoth Morrick
Mechmarines Master Tank Commander

Sharoth Morrick, a name synonymous with accuracy and precision, is by far the most talented tank commander ever to
serve the Mechmarines. Capable of targeting enemies with unrivaled precision and causing terrific damage. Before taking
command of a tank, Sharoth will examine it, noting any area which might present itself as a weak-point and personally
repair the armour of that location.

Special Rules:
Tank Commander: Sharoth is always bought as an upgrade
and starts the game as a commander of a Mechmarines tank.(See
Army list)

Sharoth’s tank ignores Crew Shaken and Crew Stunned results

and has a ballistic skill of 5. If Sharoth’s tank is destroyed then
Sharoth is slain.

Crack Shot: If sharoth’s tank remained stationary during the

movement phase (or only moved 6” if it is a fast tank) then all
shots benefit from the crack shot rule.

If using the Crack Shot rule when firing against another vehicle all
shots add +1 to any armour penetration roll.

If Using the Crack Shot rule when firing against a monstrous crea-
ture, any hits that fail to wound may be re-rolled.
 Nero Bonuman
Chapter master of the Mechmarines
Nero Bonuman, a name cursed by all Techmarines of loyal Chapters and by many sects of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Once
a devout servant of the Emperor of mankind now a servant of the true Machine God.

While his chapter was still loyal to the Emperor, the Mechanicus called upon the aid of his chapter to retake a fallen forge
world. Upon invading the world it was plain that the boil of heresy on this planet had festered and burst, releasing its filth
for all to see. After killing thousands of heretical warriors Bonuman and his men were confronted by what appeared to be
Giant combat servitors. But as they began to fight this new foe it was plain to them that these were no servitors but sen-
tient beings, warriors of flesh and metal.

The largest of these warriors confronted Bonuman and requested a duel, with the winner in control of the losers fate.
Bonuman Seeing a chance to be remembered in the annals of his chapter’s history excepted this duel, but he did not
perceive the true skill of the warrior. The Duel lasted For hours until Bonuman realized his foe was merely toying with. In
one last attempt, he took his relic blade and slashed the warriors arm off. But the warrior merely looked at the stump and
laughed, a terrifying thunderous laugh that shook the ground. As Bonuman’s men watched they saw the Warriors arm was
being regrown and they despaired for Bonuman was wounded and would not be able to fight much longer. They watched
horrified as the the Giant warrior shot a beam from his hands and Bonuman fell and was taken away.

Bonuman had been captured and so too had more three quarters of the entire Mechmarines Chapter. the four remaining
company captains waited three Terran years but nothing was heard of either the heretics but the sensors of their ships
showed Bonuman and seventy percent of his warriors to be alive. In an act of desperation the took the remaining marines
and went to the planet hoping to find Bonuman.

Upon their arrival they found Bonuman and his men Resplendent in gold and silver Waiting to meat them. Bonuman Took
his Captains and told them of his captivity, how his captors had told him of the lies of the emperor and of the mechani-
cus how they could not hope to attain their former glory through the use of incomplete STCs, and that the true way was
through innovation. They Explained that avatar of the machine god visited their planet, telling them of his displeasure at
the Mechanicus. The Avatar proclaimed that they would be adepts of the true Machine God.

After hearing this and this and exploring the rest of the world marveling at the progression of the Adepts the Mechmarines
declared their secession. Painting their armour gold with silver trim to symbolize their rebirth.

 Armour
Artificer Armour: Artificer armour is con-
structed of superdense alloys and has many dam-
age control mechanisms worked into it. it offers
a degree of protection rivaling that of terminator
armour though is harder to construct and main-
tain, even for the Mechmarines.

Scout Armour: Scout armour is very simi-

lar to the carapace armour employed by the elite
of the imperial guard. Though it has many life
support systems and can also dispense suste-
nance pills when away from the dining halls of
the Mechmarines fleet.

Power Armour: power armour is the most

common type of armour in used by the Mech-
marines. It offers substantial protection and
extensive life support systems and even can
dispense sustenance pills when operating away
from the dining halls of the Mechmarines fleet.

Terminator Armour: In the Imperium

terminator armour is irreplaceable though with
the Mechmarines it is abundant It incorporates
many damage support systems and a power-
ful force field projector. Terminator armour has
been known to be able to withstand the force
of an nuclear explosion and can survive nearly
anything. It is also capable of dispensing suste-
nance pills when away from the dining halls of
the Mechmarines fleet.

but the mechmarines decided that they would be more
effective when mounted on a tank with a whirlwind
missile launcher. That is why they can be found on Le-
man Russ Beholders.

move as if in difficult terrain in its following Movement

Carbon nonotube laced hull: Often
when constructing their vehicles the Mechma-
rines lace the outer plating with carbon-nanotubes
via electrolysis. A vehicle equipped with this
upgrade will increase its armour by 1 on all sides
to a maximum of 14

Dozer Blade: Dozer Blades are heavy

ploughs, blades, rams, or scoops, used to clear ob-
stacles from the vehicles path. Vehicles equipped
with dozer Blades can re-roll a failed difficult
terrain test.

Electrified Hull: Often mechmarine tanks

have etched circuitry on them which helps to
defend close combat attacks. Any model attempt-
ing to assault a vehicle with this upgrade, takes 1
strength 5 ap 5 hit (one per model).

Robot Crew: Some vehicles of the Mech-

marines have had their entire crew replaced with
an AI unit, equipped with damage assessment
protocols and advanced trajectory units, It can
make any enclosed vehicle more formidable. Any
Crew Stunned or Crew shaken results are ignored.
Furthermore if the vehicle is armed with weapons
whose shots scatter, Roll 3d6 and choose the two
lowest then subtract your ballistic skill.

Searchlight: Searchlights are often fitted To

Mechmarine pierce the smog choked air of their Forge
Worlds.

Searchlights are used when the night fight rule is in

effect. If a vehicle has a search light it must still use the
night fighting rules to pick a target but, having acquired
a target, it will illuminate it with the searchlight. For
the rest of the Shooting phase, any other unit that fires
at the illuminated unit does not use the night fighting
special rules. However, a vehicle that uses a search-
light, can be targeted using the following enemy turn,
as if the night fighting rules were not in effect, as the
enemy can see the Searchlight.

Smoke Launchers: Smoke launchers are

used to temporarily obscure the vehicle behind
concealing clouds of smoke. See the vehicles
section of the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook for
details.
