The term ‘Tech-Priest’ covers a broad category of thousands of different roles. [[Genetor]]s probe the mysteries of the biological, creating ever stranger cyborgs and slaughtering [[xenos]] by the thousand in order to excise yet more secrets. Artisans [[Artisan]]s create and restore truly wondrous weapons of war, from ornate [[Gamma Pistol|gamma pistols]] to the mind-boggling immensity of the [[Ark Mechanicus]]. [[Magos|Magi]] of all stripes pursue esoteric agendas as likely to end in triumph as they are disaster. Across the galaxy [[Transmechanic]]s, [[Lexmechanic]]s, [[Enginseer]]s, [[Secutor]]s, Trifactors, [[Myrmidon]]s and Technoshamans labour alongside the wider Imperium to bolster Humanity’s war machine. Within the Adeptus Mechanicus the ranks become even more esoteric. Each Fabricator Locum can call upon Magi Technicus, Metallurgicus, Alchemys, Cogitatrices, Pedanticum, Tech-assassins, hive monitors and Holy Requisitioners, who in turn can command a body of fabricators minoris, [[Fulgurites]], [[Corpuscarii]], overseers, underseers, stasis clerks, and techno-dervishes. To even begin to comprehend the towering edifice of the Cult Mechanicus takes far more processing power than the human brain can provide.{{Fn|5}} When speaking with a tech priest, it can be beneficial to instead take into account the subtlety of each magos’ specialisation and address them accordingly. Ignorantly addressing a magos simply as a tech-priest could carry a demeaning aspect, due to how bluntly broad a category it is.{{Fn|34}}
