The Scutarii of the Adeptus Mechanicus comprise the troops raised from a Forge world, trained and equipped to fight alongside the mighty titan legions. Led by the Initiates of the Machine God, the red-robed Tech-priests of Mars, and oganized in similar fashion to the Imperial Guard, the Scutarii, or TechGuard to the uncouth, do not match the numbers of their cousins. However, what they lack in quantity, they make up for in dedication, wargear and zeal.

THE SCUTARII ARMY

This army list allows you to field an army of Scutarii. This list can be supplemented with Adeptus Titanicus army list or can be used separately when your opponent does not agree to allow titans and super-heavy vehicles.

Up to four members of the squad may be upgraded to one of the following characters:

Ballisterii: One Hypaspist may be upgraded to a Ballisterii for +30 points.
Once per game, the Ballisterii may call down a devastating barrage of off-table ordnance. Place a chit anywhere within LOS from the model. On your next turn, roll a scatter die and 1d6. Place the Blast marker where the actual barrage hits. Then roll two scatter die and place the blast markers touching the first template to represent the salvo. These barrages are STR 8, AP 3 Ordnance 3/Blast.

Praetorian: One Hypaspist may be upgraded to a Praetorian for +12 points.
Praetorians are the terror-troops of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

They may choose up to 2 weapons from the Praetorian wargear list.

Standard Bearer: One Hypaspist may be given the Legio Standard for +10 points.

ELITES

Mechanicus Elites
	Points	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Sv
Electro-Priests	14	6	0	6	4	1	4	2	8	5+

Some of the Tech-priests of Mars, in their devotion to the Machine God, are allowed to become living instruments of his might. These initiates are covered in the ancient Electoos - sparking and thrumming with the power of Divine Glory. Often, these supercharge adepts are sent with their Astartes Mechanicus brethren to lead the questing forces on their search for the holy STCs, their techno-holy bodies providing both protection for the flesh as well as mighty weapons for the Machine God.

Squad: The squad consists of between 2-10 Electro-Priests.

Weapons: Electro-Priests are armed with ancient techno-relics and the power of the imbedded Electoos themselves. These combine to count as a power weapon.

SPECIAL RULES

Hyperdrive: Once per game, the Electro-Priests are abole to double their assault movement to 12" as they draw upon the fires of the Machine God raging through their bodies. However, roll an immediated D6 for each model. On a roll of 6, the Priest collapses as the furious energy is too much for him to bear. The model is removed as a casualty.

Wrath of the Machine God: The fierce crackling of divine force leaps from the very body of the priest - searing any opponent who stands against the Machine God's wrath. The electoos count as power weapons. Additionally, any models within 2" of the enemy count as being in base to base contact for HtH combat, even those who are not, as the electrical wrath will leap from the skin of the priest to smash his opponent.
NOTE: this can only be used if there are models in the unit in base to base contact.

Mechanicus Elites
	Points	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Sv
Praetorians	19	4	4	4	4	1	4	2	9	3+

+++ Praetorians are the terror-troops of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Unlike Space Marines who are genetically altered from a young age, Praetorians are the test-beds of new technologies; from brain-stem implants and neuro-linked processors to alloy reinforced skeletons and imbedded weapon systems. They are fearsome warriors and fanatical combatants. +++

Squad: The squad consists of between 5 and 10 Praetorians.

Weapons: Praetorians are armed with two pieces of experimental technology, which is selected from the Praetorian list.

SPECIAL RULES

Fearless: The Praetorians are no longer human by any standard, and are augmented to the point of being killing machines. As such, they pass any Leadership test and Morale checks that they need to take.

Hypaspists	6	3	3	3	3	1	3	1	8	5+
Decorian	+10	3	3	3	3	1	3	2	9	5+

+++ Hypaspists are the standard infantry of the Scutarii army, raised from the Forge world, they are sometimes augmented with bionics and are always fanatical in their zeal for the Machine God and the Legio, which they support. +++

Weapons: Lasguns. The Decorian may exchange his Lasgun for a Bolter for +2 points.

Mechanicus Troops
	Points	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Sv
Servitors	5	3	3	3	3	1	3	1	7	5+

+++ Servitors make up the bulk of the inhabitants of a Forge world, relegated to the tasks of manual labor, for which they are physically and mentally augmented. When the Legio goes to war, ranks of Servitors, who are modified for combat, are gathered together to fight along-side the Hypaspists. +++

Squad: Squads consist of 3-10 Servitors.

Weapons: Servitors are armed with bionic close combat weapons.

Options: One Servitor may add an additional Servo-arm fitted with a combat shotgun for +1 points.

FAST ATTACK

Sentinel

Mechanicus Fast Attack
	Points	WS	BS	S	Front Armour	Side Armour	Rear Armour	I	Ld
Sentinels	45	3	3	5	10	10	10	3	8

+++ Sentinels are lightly armoured mechanized walkers crewed by a single Cataphract who is linked physically to the machine. The Sentinals of the Scutarii can be fitted with various weapon-mounts, unlike the Imperial Guard's Sentinels. +++

Type: Walker, Open-topped.

Squadron: The squadron consists of between 1 and 3 Sentinels.

Venarii

Mechanicus Fast Attack
	Points	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Sv
Venarii	13	4/td>	4	3	3	1	3	2	8	4+

+++ Like the fearsome Praetorians, the Venarii are a special creation of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Test-beds themselves, the Venarii are augmented with vicious close combat weapons and short-ranged tanglers which discharge mono-filament webbing. Their primary role is to infiltrate close and assault the enemy with lightning strikes and sudden death. +++

Squad: The squad consists of 5 Venarii.

Weapons: Venarii are armed with two close combat weapons and short range webbers.

Special Rules:

Infiltrators: Venarii are able, under the right circumstances, to infiltrate close to the enemy. This is represented by the use of the Infiltration rules. If the battle does not allow infiltration, then Venarii must set up with the rest of the army.
