==Technology==
Unlike their loyal Mechanicum brethren, the Dark Mechanicus has no issue with modifying [[STC]]'s or other forms of sanctioned Imperial technology.{{Fn|9}} As a result they have no qualms in uncovering forbidden technology from the [[Dark Age of Technology|Dark Ages]] such as the [[Silica Animus]]{{Fn|10a}} and [[Anima Mori]].{{Fn|10b}} Dark Mechanicus technology is heavily intertwined with the [[Warp]] and [[Daemonic]] and they have no boundaries when it comes to genetic experimentation and advanced [[cybernetic]]s that push the limit of Humanity{{Fn|9a}}. As demonstrated with devices such as the [[Kaban Machine]], the Dark Mechanicum has little to no quams when it comes to the development of [[Artificial Intelligence]].{{Fn|11}} They even seek to utilize ancient [[Chaos Android|androids of Chaos]] when possible.{{Fn|20c}}
However of all their esoteric technologies, [[Daemon Engine]]s are the most infamous technological creations of the Dark Mechanicum.{{Fn|9}} Dark Mechanicum Forge World produce weapons of war for not only themselves but also [[Chaos Space Marine]] and other Chaos-affiliated warbands in exchange for slaves and resources.{{Fn|3}}
