- The Flesh is Weak, The Metal is Strong: The Skitarii Alpha Primus are special operatives, favoured soldiers of the Machine God, blessed with mental and physical augmentations beyond those of their fellow Skitarii. Their non-linear unique talent tree enables unprecedented levels of build customisation. Whether you envision your Skitarii as a ruthless long-range assassin with deadly aim, a frenzied servant of the Omnissiah carving through flesh with Transonic blades, or a walking storm of Voltaic power – all who behold you will cower.
- Constructed for War: Though bound by the doctrines of the Adeptus Mechanicus, no two Skitarii are identical. Construct your Skitarii choosing material types, augment patterns and Forge World of origin. Choose from four distinct voice sets and then adjust the voice modulation to define your sanctioned configuration.
- Sacred Arsenal of the Omnissiah: Skitarii have access to an all encompassing host of legendary weapons which are fiercely guarded by the armourers of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The advanced wargear of the Skitarii includes legendary Arc weapons, dazzling Phosphor Blasters, slicing Transonic Blades and high-powered Galvanic Rifles. Such power is unfathomable, and often lethal, to the unaugmented.
