[[Image:Secutors.jpg|thumb|right|Adeptus Mechanicus Secutor{{Fn|2}}]]
'''Secutors''' are members of military sects and formations within the [[Auxilia Myrmidon]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] that devote themselves to the art of warfare with a fervour other tech-priests normally reserve for tinkering with ancient technology. To them, the protection of the technological mysteries of the [[Machine Cult]], from those who would misuse them, is a far greater concern than anything else, including human lives and the other concerns of the Mechanicus.{{Fn|1a}}
Huge creatures of steel, bedecked in powerful and sometimes ancient weaponry, they embody the military potential of the Mechanicus in the arts of siege warfare, destruction and death. Secutors often have extensive martial enhancements such as pistol-armed [[mechadendrite]]s, brutal close combat weapons and the special machinator array that vastly enhances their bulk, armours up their internal organs and increases the ability for weapon systems to interface with their implants. A primary example is the [[Auxilia Myrmidon]], a defense force of tech-priests traveling with technological crusades of the Mechanicus to protect Adeptus holdings on the worlds they settle. Another example is the [[Divine Light of Sollex]], a cult of martial tech-priests unique to the [[Calixis Sector]].{{Fn|1a}}
