The Skitarii Battle Group is the big Mechanicum drop, and it is all about relic recovery.
In the Heresy era, they served the Fabricator General, and then the Schism of Mars split them too. So, you can field them for Loyalists or Traitors, which is great for narrative lists.
The box brings 18 new miniatures, and it can be its own force or an ally package. You get 16 multi part plastic Battle Pilgryms with voltlock arquebuses. They can run as two units of eight, or one big block. You also get a plastic Vultarax Stratos automata for airborne support. Plus, the Marshal leader has three heads and multiple weapon options. There is also a transfer sheet with 394 transfers, which is a hobby goldmine.
Journal Tactica: Skitarii: The Steel Hand of Mars is a 48 page softback that adds full rules. It also explains their organisation and operations in the Heresy. Meanwhile, it brings Relic Hunt missions for smash and grab gameplay. It even includes a Legendary Mission versus Imperial Fists at the Vaults of Tharsis. Also, it is physical only, after a correction.
