'''Hastarii''' are heavy [[Skitarii]] infantry, whose bodies have been modified to carry the destructive heavy firepower of much larger [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] machines.{{Fn|1}}
==Description==
These modifications include having their right arms replaced with a gyroscopically stabilized gun mount, that is wired into the Hastarii's [[Cortical Circuit]]s. This results in the heavy infantry having uncanny accuracy with their weapons, such as the '''Hastarii Exterminators'''' vicious [[Eradication Caster]]s and the '''Hastarii Fusiliers'''' [[Neutron Fusil]]s. Because of their skills, the Hastarii have become a vital element of the [[Skitarii]]'s [[Macro-Clade]]s and are heavily used by the [[Archmagos Terminus]] [[Thulia Ghuld]].{{Fn|1}}
However because of their gun mounts, the Hastarii must wear heavy and difficult to manufacture, advanced backpack generators to function. Also, while the '''Hastarii Exterminators''' and '''Hastarii Fusiliers''' are highly effectife in battle, they are complex and costly for the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] to create. As a result of these drawbacks, the Hastarii variants are rarely deployed in battle, in order to avoid a wasteful loss.{{Fn|1}}
