===Infantry===
The equipment can vary massively based on which [[Magos]], Mechanicus Organisation or [[Forge World]] has raised and equipped them. There is little standardisation or central command of Skitarii across the Mechanicus, as each individual regiment is the personal army of a particular Magos. For example, the Skitarii of the [[Titan Legion]] [[Legio Invicta]] are gene-bulked humans with weaponised limbs and augmetic armour{{Fn|4}}, whereas a different type of Skitarii investigated the dead world of [[Tarsis Ultra]], and were seen to be wearing something similar in both function and design to [[Terminator armour]].{{Fn|2}}
Due to their substantial bionic enhancements, Skitarii are capable of marching for periods far beyond standard humans. [[Skitarii Ranger]]s can hunt for decades on end. Thus most Skitarii forego the use of armored armoured transports, finding them redundant.{{Fn|9c}} Despite often going on foot, they nonetheless operate an array of vehicles which include [[Rhino]]s{{Fn|15}}, [[Chimera]]s,{{Fn|18}}, [[Skorpius Dunerider]]s{{Fn|16}}, [[Skorpius Disintegrator]]s{{Fn|16}}, [[Triaros|Triaros Armored Armoured Conveyor]]s{{Fn|17}}, [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]]s{{Fn|20b}}, [[Malcador Heavy Tank]]{{Fn|19a}}, and [[Hydra Flak Tank]]{{Fn|19}}. Combat walkers include the [[Onager Dunecrawler]], [[Black Widow]]{{Fn|20a}}, and [[Ironstrider Engine]].{{Fn|9d}} They also operate air units which include [[Thunderbolt Fighter]]s and [[Vulture Gunship]]s{{Fn|19a}} as well as [[Archaeopter]]s.{{Fn|21}}
