Adeptus Mechanicus Portal

A Tech-priest is an adept of the Adeptus Mechanicus. They are the members of the Cult Mechanicus, a priesthood which forms a hierarchy of technicians, scientists, and religious leaders. The Tech-priests provide the rest of the Imperium with its technicians and engineers.

Though their bodies often incorporate many mechanical components, Tech-priests are human, unlike the slave-machine Servitors which carry out all the heavy and monotonous labour for them.
