Besides these three there stood the lesser independent and allied divisions of che ‘Mechanicum such as the Knight Houses, the Orde Reductor, the Exploratorsand the Legio Cybernetics, among others. Fach wasa great power in ts own right, but all were dwarfed both in scale and reach by the great thre. ‘The Feudal Order Although Mars itself was a highly singular and unique entity in rniltary terms, much as Terra itself was to the other worlds of the Imperium, each Forge World in the days ofthe Great Crusade was tn independent power, kingdom in its own right. While each owed fealty to the Lords ofthe Red Plane, in some cases these bonds were as alsolute as strapies, while in others the tes tothe Mechanicum’s seat ‘of power were weaker often simply through distance, nd inthe most extreme cases this fealty became questionable at best, and rivalry and the threat of rebellion against cental contol or internecine conflict Aiscincly posible. By this web of fealty, bound more by common doctrine, culture and mutually shared obsession rather than by principle, loyalty or dury was the shadow empite within the Imperium that wos the Mechanicum before the Horus Heresy forme The proof ofthis hidden disunity was given unequivocal form duing the Horus Heresy when, just as the Imperium was riven by the treachery oF the Warmaste, so was the Mechanicum,aleeady rife with incernal 'scord and disharmony all too readily riven alongside turning on iself as well a siding unequally forthe warring parties of, Taitoror Loysls, with Forge Worlds and domains siding along long: held fealties and feudal obligations as much as they did for Emperor or \Warmaster.1e was of this complex feudal structure, both on the macro scale which encompassed whole Forge Worlds and alliances of Forge ‘Worlds, and on the local sale of orders, colleges, fanes and forge cities, that che Taghmaa system was aditect reflection. ‘The Structure ofthe Taghmata Each Forge World ofthis age was itself patchwork web of complex loyalties, made up of independent and semi-independent domains, bath interns of physical infrastructure and teritry and, perhaps ‘more importantly, of knowledge, craft and sacred ete. So it vas that each Forge World was not merely a powerhouse of industrial production vgal to the wider Imperium which it provided for, but also sn empire of sectets uni itself While nomenclature and structure was bardly uniform berween them, the masters ofthese empires were its Magos and Archmagos —its ‘Leer Ones— each were lords both ‘temporal and gpviial whose power was thar of life and death i choir ‘own domains. "ach specilised ina particule facet ofthe Machine Cults lore or commanded. sizable measure of thei world infrastructure a8 their portion, and by this right took dsr place inthe synod chat provided the Forge World with ts governance and control. Each ‘Magos commanded their own resources and militty might, rmics of recainersand cohorts of war machines outfited and formed by their ‘masters will and in accordance with their master's specialisation and proclivity. These were the Taghma, the building blocks from whieh the ‘Taghmata were formed. When a Forge Worlds maser, the Fabricator Archmagos-Intendantor Archmagos Archimendrite under whose rule the synod served, called a Taghmata into being, it was the sworn duty ‘oF each Magos to provide such troops an assets as was demanded of them, and through them such lesser Tech-Priests and adepts,sub-cults R$ a = and esoteric orders who owed fealty and vasalae tothe High Magos ‘were called on, and soon throughout the patters of seniority and allegiance that crisscrossed the Forge World In many cases sch call to arms reached far beyond a Forge World and its star system to distant outposts, Expeditionary ees and client worlds ted together by patsonage or ancien seaty or pacts of allegiance, From its umber the synod would choose several ofits ‘wn, well versed in the arts of destruction, o with prover battlefield experience to operateas the Taghmats command steture. Such commands were much sought after by many Magos, bath forthe power and prestige they would bring. and lor the porental for acquisition of new knowledge and reward chey offered tn practise a Taghmato could be of greatly varying size, disposition and scope, the nature of which was often determined by the role was called on to serve. Before galactic civil war was to rock the Imperium, the Taghmots was primarily mustered 3s a purely defensive messute, commonly when a Forge World came under ditect attack. On Forge ‘Worlds such at Tigrus and Phaeton which came under frequent assault coming tothe proximity of hostile xenos forces, this led ta powerful and highly experienced Taghmata formations which effeerively became standing armies, while others such asthe isolated Stypies might 20 for decades without external treat, nd so when needed Taghmats protocols were required 1 be enacted afresh. Smaller Taghmata clements would also be raised and formed during the Great Crusade v0 arm and equip Explorator expeditions ro garison outposts in hostile ‘or hazardous repions ofthe void. They were alsa formed mote rarely 0 provide armed diplomatic escorts or deputations tothe Expeditionary Nees and Rogue Trader Miltant fleets. The latter wo needs however, were primarily the province ofthe specialist military commands ofthe Mechanicum not lyal:o any single Forge World: the Tian Legions, the Ordo Reductos che Legia Cybernetica and the Skitari of Mas, The Cataelysm During the cataclysm of the Horus Heresy the Taghmata was called upon onevery Forge World and outpost a war ana the threat of antack was constant. Soon, the Mechanicum was engaged ina battle forsurvival bath against outside enemies and agains rival factions of ‘heirown kind, and what had been an organisation of defence bec justas frequently a means of atack, whether o claim vical resources, ‘expanda sphete of influence or simply to annihilate an enemy. Ae the bloody struggle worsened, many Forge Worlds fought tothe death tw preserve their sovereigny from invasion by former allies, while ‘others tolcan active and aggressive hand inthe unfolding war, theie ‘Taghmata fighting longside Loyalist or Tito: or simply for cheir own ends. Soitwis that Mechanicum slew Meckanicur, Mechanicum slew Leiones Astrtes and Legiones Astirtes slew Mechanicurn tn desperate battle were dak sciences and ancient secrets better left ‘undisturbed eucned to, either in vai hope of ensuring survival. or by wwakened ambition and lust for power and the nightmarish ferors of the Age of Stife were unleashed once mote Usinc THE TAcHMATA OMNissIAH ARMY List The Taghmata Omnis sa core Mechanicam army ist for the Horus Heresy representing the feuds silty might ofthe Imperius Forge World ad may be used as both primary and allied detachments ~seethe Choos selecting forces The rules presented th characters et appl to forces chosen fr thi army, which may be us vwllas hose for Zone Morisand your Army section of the Warhammer $200 rulebook for more information abot 3, Dedicated Transports, special both withthe system found there as ioe primary detache Ins terms of Faction and Alliance levels, the Taghmata Omnissth uses the’ Mechanicu band ofthe Allies inthe Age of Darkness table found on page 185 of The H ws Heresy Book One — Betrayal.
