'''Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus''' is a [[Codex]] for the [[10th Edition]] of [[Warhammer 40,000]]{{Fn|1}}.

==Description==
The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] are the fanatical worshippers of the [[Machine God]] of [[Mars]]. For thousands of years the robed priests of the [[Machine Cult]] have presided over the fabrication, maintenance, and preservation of [[Humanity]]’s surviving technological wonders with reverence and ritual. Led by [[Tech-Priests]] whose weak organic flesh has been replaced with metallic [[bionics|augmentations]], their armies fight to defend [[forge worlds]] and strike out across the [[galaxy]] in search of ancient [[archeotech]].{{Fn|2}}

Among the Machine Cult's ranks are cohorts of obedient cybernetic soldiers, lumbering warrior robots, and battle servitors. They bear an array of esoteric weapons, capable of annihilating foes in volleys of irradiated ammunition or incinerating them with torrents of searing energy. Those who seek to sabotage the divine works of the Omnissiah must face the might of this merciless mechanical war machine, devoid of both pity and remorse.{{Fn|2}}
