This week on Heresy Thursday, we’re stepping away from the Legiones Astartes and diving into the Machine Cults of Mars with the introduction of the Secutarii Axiarch, a formidable leader and protector of the Titan Legions.
Secutarii Axiarch: The Protector of Titans
When the colossal Titan Legions march to war, they bring devastation on an unimaginable scale, flattening fortifications and obliterating entire enemy formations in seconds. However, these towering God Engines remain vulnerable to infantry assaults, especially those trained to exploit their weaknesses. Enter the Secutarii—elite honour guards and protectors tasked with defending these mighty machines from the infantry swarms that threaten them.
The Secutarii Axiarch is a seasoned leader, chosen through rigorous criteria, including a proven track record of battlefield prowess and involvement in defending or recovering a Titan. Upon promotion, the Axiarch undergoes further cybernetic augments and is twisted into a new form in keeping with the Cult Mechanicum’s strict codes.
Cybernetic Enhancements and Titanshard Armor
The Axiarchs are outfitted with Titanshard armor, crafted from the wreckage of a Titan the Axiarch personally saved. This near-impervious armor makes them a near-unstoppable force on the battlefield. Additionally, they wield a mag-inverter shield, which features a relic inversion generator, unleashing arcs of energy from their arc lance, further reinforcing their role as leaders on the front lines of battle.
In the Rules
The Secutarii Axiarch comes with a full set of rules in the Liber Mechanicum – Forces of the Omnissiah army book, making them a powerful and thematic addition to any Mechanicum force. Cast in Forge World resin, this model is perfect for collectors looking to enhance their Titan Legions armies with a strong frontline commander.
If you’ve been contemplating picking up a Titan, now might be the perfect time to complete your collection and add a Secutarii Axiarch to your force!
