The '''Scarab Occult''', also known as the '''Sekhmet''' and '''Magnus's Veterans''', were the [[Tactical Dreadnought Armour]]-equipped [[Terminator]] elite of the [[Thousand Sons]] [[Space Marine Legion]], active for much of the [[Great Crusade]] and the [[Horus Heresy]].

Belonging to the 1st [[Chapter|Fellowship]] of the legion, they were under the command of 1st Fellowship [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Ahzek Ahriman]].{{Fn|1}} Proud and devoted warriors, they were veterans of both battle and the Thousand Sons' psychic discipline system, with no member being of lower [[Cults of the Thousand Sons|cult]] grade than Philosophus. This meant that each warrior was able to mentally transcend their personal tastes, likes, and dislikes to achieve a form of emotional purity that resulted in warriors both extremely loyal and calm, perfectly willing to obey every order given to them. This practise was commented on by some of the [[primarchs]] who witnessed them fight during the Great Crusade; [[Leman Russ (primarch)|Leman Russ]] called them "automatons," while [[Ferrus Manus]] called them "robots" - the former derisively, the latter complimentary.{{Fn|1}}
