'''Sekhetar Robots''' are towering psychically controlled battle [[automata]] that serve the [[Thousand Sons]] [[Traitor Legion]].{{Fn|1}}
==Description==
They Sekhetar are a development of the [[Castellax-Achea Battle Automata]] the Thousand Sons used during the [[Great Crusade]]. After the [[Horus Heresy]], a group of [[Sorcerer]]s came up with the design for the Sekhetar – crafting them in the image of ancient [[Prosperine]] spirits.{{Fn|3}} Sekhetar bear features of ancient thousand sons [[Tutelaries]] and are saturated in sorcerous power with runes of misdirection and illusion. Critically they are threaded with spells of prophecy allowing them to foresee attacks and better protect their masters as bodyguards.{{Fn|1}} Despite their impressive size, Sekhetar are made for stealth and complex magical shrouds woven into their bodies to hide their true nature from all but the most advanced of augurs.{{Fn|3}}
They were Sekhetar are unshackled from dark vaults of ancient technology by secret hexagrammic commands and now accompany the [[Thousand Sons]] during raids on sites of immense sorcerous power. Alongside this role, they are typically left behind to guard over sites for millennia.{{Fn|3}} As the [[Traitor Legion]] plunders the sites, the Sekhetar Robots stand guard against anyone who would try to stop their masters. With their bodies inscribed with illusory spells and runes of obfuscation, the constructs can remain hidden in advantageous positions, before opening fire with arcane weapons [[Heavy Warpflamer]]s, a [[Pyreflux Meltagun]], and [[Hellfyre Missile]]s.{{Fn|2}} Some also wield [[Power Claw]]s.{{Fn|3}} ==Images==[[File:Sekhetar-Robots-2025.jpg|thumb|center|220px|Sekhetar Robots miniatures{{Fn|2}}]]
