'''Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus''' is an expansion book for the [[8th Edition]] of [[Warhammer 40,000]].

== Cover Description ==
The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] are the keepers and manufacturers of technology for the [[Imperium]] of Mankind. It is a role they guard jealously, using their own standing armies, engines of war and god-machines. It is within their power to unleash the most arcane weaponry in the Imperium, and they do so without mercy. Grim processions of soldiers stride in perfect unison, each one a disturbing fusion of man and machine. Behind them stomp soulless automata, and towering over them are enormous walkers. An Adeptus Mechanicus army marching to war is a sight both terrifying and glorious.
