CODEX: ADEPTUS MECHANICUS $60

The Adeptus Mechanicus are the fanatical worshippers of the Machine God of Mars. For thousands of years the robed priests of the Machine Cult have presided over the fabrication, maintenance, and preservation of Humanity’s surviving technological wonders with reverence and ritual. Led by Tech-Priests whose weak organic flesh has been replaced with metallic augmentations, their armies fight to defend forge worlds and strike out across the galaxy in search of ancient archeotech.

Among the Machine Cult’s ranks are cohorts of obedient cybernetic soldiers, lumbering warrior robots, and battle servitors. They bear an array of esoteric weapons, capable of annihilating foes in volleys of irradiated ammunition or incinerating them with torrents of searing energy. Those who seek to sabotage the divine works of the Omnissiah must face the might of this merciless mechanical war machine, devoid of both pity and remorse.

The Necrons are a deathless species of The Necrons are a deathless species of alien androids who dominated the galaxy in ages past. After millions of years in self-imposed slumber, they are rising from their hidden tomb complexes to march in conquest once more. Clad in self-repairing bodies of living metal, armed with weapons that harness the devastating energies of the cosmos, the Necrons are a terrifying enemy. They are without fear or mercy, soulless mechanoids who advance in eerie lockstep to lay down an annihilating storm.

These phalanxes are joined by techno-sorcerous war engines, scuttling constructs, and shards of shattered star gods, led to war by undying nobles with wills and bodies of unyielding metal, driven by the absolute conviction that they are the rightful rulers of the galaxy. Ravaged by their long sleep, many Necrons have been reduced to murderous monsters or delusional demigods. Yet their madness only makes them an even greater and more inescapable threat.

Codex: Necrons is an essential guide for anyone who wants to collect Necrons and display the might of their phaeron on the tabletop. In this book you’ll find the rules you need to play a Necrons army in games of Warhammer 40,000 – including narrative Crusade campaigns and Combat Patrol skirmishes – as well as detailed background material and stunning art showcasing their ancient origins, impossibly advanced technology, and dynastic courts.

SYDONIAN SKATROS $38

A Sydonian Skatros is a sinister cybernetic sentinel, stoic and unmoving until the moment an enemy strays into range of their huge rifle. Mechanical, stilt-like limbs allow them to traverse hazardous terrain and survey the environment, shrouded by a smog of incense-exhaust. With protocol-driven precision and an advanced scanner known as the achillan eye, they lock on to their foes’ weakpoints and unleash pinpoint fire that sows panic and agony – all the better for eroding enemy morale.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Sydonian Skatros, an augmented sniper created by the Adeptus Mechanicus. This Skitarii sharpshooter can be armed with one of two long-barrelled guns – a radium jezzail, which fires radioactive bullets that pierce armour and poison flesh, or a high-powered transuranic arquebus. Each weapon comes with its own bionic loader-arm, as well as an ammunition pack for the Skatros’ belt, which sports a holstered pistol for closer foes.

The kit also includes a choice of two different headset designs for the Skatros – a sinister mono-visor, or a pair of staring goggle-lenses – which can be worn over their cyborg facemask or pushed up onto their forehead.

This kit comprises 21 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

COMBAT PATROL: ADEPTUS MECHANICUS $160

The Adeptus Mechanicus march to war as a disturbing fusion of flesh and machine, ruling Tech-Priests and fanatical cyborg followers raising modified voices in binharic praise of the Machine God. Purge Corps Deltic-9 are equipped to scour the contamination of enemy presence from locations of strategic or exploratory importance, employing cybernetic speed and terrifying weapons. Cavalry and winged Pteraxii unleash gouts of purging flame, before radioactive Skitarii bring up the rear to reclaim whatever remains.

Fight for the Omnissiah with Combat Patrol: Adeptus Mechanicus! This boxed set contains all the units you need to start your army or expand an existing collection, and will save you money compared to buying the contents individually. These miniatures provide a balanced fast-moving core for any Adeptus Mechanicus army, and can also be used as a complete force for Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000 – the Combat Patrol rules are available as a free download on the Warhammer Community website.

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Tech-Priest Manipulus
– 3x Serberys Sulphurhounds (which can alternatively be built as 3x Serberys Raiders)
– 5x Pteraxii Sterylizors (which can alternatively be built as 5x Pteraxii Skystalkers)
– 10x Skitarii Vanguard (which can alternatively be built as 10x Skitarii Rangers)

All models come with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Royal Warden $35

Royal Wardens ensure that a Necron noble’s will is carried out by their dynasty’s vast armies. They possess the initiative to adapt the strategies of the phalanxes under their command with engrammatic logic, but while they retain independence of thought, protocols buried deep within their living metal cortices render them unquestioningly loyal.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Royal Warden, an adjutant and enforcer for the greater Necron nobility. The Warden is armed with a sophisticated gauss blaster, more powerful than those wielded by his Immortal comrades, and posed striding forward to lead the Necron legions from the front. His armoured, mechanical body is engraved with a collar of Necrontyr glyphs, indicating his station, and decorated by interlocking metal plates that hang like a cloak of office.

This kit comprises seven plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 32mm Round Hex Hole Base. This push-fit miniature can be assembled without glue, and is supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.

OVERLORD WITH TRANSLOCATION SHROUD $38

Overlords lead the Necron dynasties into battle. Their android minds are tremendously swift, their bodies are implacably resilient, but their indomitable wills are perhaps most fearsome of all. Furnished with a translocation shroud drawn from the dynastic vaults, an Overlord can phase through nether-dimensions, passing through rigid defences and even the flesh of mortal guardians to reach whatever prey or prize they demand.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Necron Overlord with a translocation shroud, an artefact of arcane dimensional science. He’s depicted phasing through space itself, and portions of his body and wargear are already dematerialised into streamers of energy that swirl around him. One of his folded arms carries a deadly hyperphase blade, while the other clutches a resurrection orb. His metallic body is covered in Necrontyr glyphs, as well as mechanical details such as the power nodes that fuel the translocation shroud.

This kit comprises five plastic components and comes with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

ORIKAN THE DIVINER $45

Orikan is a master astromancer, a Necron Cryptek who uses his knowledge of astral conjunctions to predict the tides of battle and empower himself with cosmic energies. He supplements these skills with chronomantic abilities that allow him to see events before they happen and alter the patterns of the past, helping him evade harm and aim his blows to devastating effect. Through careful study and scrutiny, the Diviner has meddled in monumental events and insignificant occurences throughout history, guiding the Necrons toward a future of his choosing.

This multipart plastic kit builds Orikan the Diviner, the greatest Chronomancer across all the Necron dynasties. Held eerily aloft by his prehensile spine, this legendary figure clutches an active chronometron alongside the Staff of Tomorrow, a temporal instrument that exists half a second ahead of ‘now’, striking before he even moves. Orikan is festooned with eldritch spheres to drive his divinatory calculations, and draped in a segmented mantle and striking headdress befitting a high Cryptek.

This kit comprises 15 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

IMOTEKH THE STORMLORD $45

Imotekh is a sublimely skilled Necron strategist, wielding his armies with hyperlogical skill and deadly strategic insight. In battle, the Stormlord incinerates enemies with his Gauntlet of Fire, blasts them with pan-dimensional energies from the Staff of the Destroyer, and humbles them in punishing one-on-one duels. As phaeron of the Sautekh Dynasty, with over eighty tomb worlds under his command, Imotekh marches to expand his deathless empire.

This multipart plastic kit builds Imotekh the Stormlord, the supreme leader of the Sautekh Dynasty. This imposing phaeron stands tall atop a dais of unearthed Necron architecture, his billowing cloak crawling with scarab-constructs. His left hand is encased in a Gauntlet of Fire, which generates waves of viridian flame, while his right grips the Staff of the Destroyer – his dynasty’s deadly icon of office. Imotekh’s armoured chestplate and metal brow sport lordly glyphs of Sautekh, while other Necrontyr sigils decorate his ornate mechanical body, proclaiming his rank as ruler of an unliving empire.

This kit comprises 15 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

COMBAT PATROL: NECRONS $160

The Necrons rise across the galaxy, android legions emerging from stasis-crypts after millions of years in deathless slumber. Amonhotekh’s Guard stalk the worlds that once belonged to their master, the Overlord Amonhotekh, to cleanse the flesh-vermin and lesser civilisations that now infest his ancient territories. He will stop at nothing to eradicate these pests, calling upon mighty Canoptek constructs, mindless warrior phalanxes, and even the raving Destroyer Cults to eliminate all trespassers.

Reclaim the galaxy with Combat Patrol: Necrons! This boxed set contains all the units you need to start your army or expand an existing collection, and will save you money compared to buying the contents individually. These miniatures provide a balanced core for any Necrons army, and can also be used as a complete force for Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000 – the Combat Patrol rules are available as a free download on the Warhammer Community website.

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Overlord, armed with a tachyon arrow
– 1x Canoptek Doomstalker

– 3x Canoptek Scarab Swarms

All models come with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

ADEPTUS MECHANICUS DICE SET $32
