Skitarii Marshal
Skitarii Marshals are high-ranking officers in Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii armies.[1]
Overview
A veteran of countless Crusades and blessed with advanced bionic augmentation, Marshals lead Skitarii Maniples and Cohorts into battle. Marshals act as the intermediary between Skitarii Formations and their Tech-Priest masters. As such, they are equipped with advanced uplinks that allow them to refine their warriors doctrines to perfection. They wield a variety of advanced weapons including a Radium Serpenta, a Control Stave,[3a] and a power sword.[5]
The Marshall's advanced augmentations include data-tethers, supplementary cogitators and a servo skull uplink, allowing them to process vast amounts of battlefield data.[5]
Skitarii Marshalls sometimes ride into battle upon five-legged command abeyants.[8]
