Mechanicum: Skitarii Batlle Group

Description

Mechanicum: Skitarii Battle Group

The Skitarii serve as the iron-fisted enforcers of the Mechanicum’s will during the age of darkness. Relentlessly pursuing lost technologies and securing ancient relics across the galaxy. When the Schism of Mars tore the Mechanicum apart, the Mechanicum, like the Legiones Astartes, were left divided. Some swore loyalty to the Emperor, whilst others marched beneath the banner of the Warmaster Horus. The Skitarii Battle Group brings these relentless shock troops to the tabletop. Offering a robust and characterful force for your Horus Heresy armies.
