Journal Tactica: Skitarii – The Steel Hand of Mars

Skitarii Battle‑Pilgrims - The Horus Heresy supplement for wargaming and jeux de figurines

The Horus Heresy raged across the stars, dragging even the secretive Cult Mechanicus into the fires of civil war. This immersive gaming supplement spotlights the oath‑sworn Skitarii Battle‑Pilgrims, charged by the Fabricator General to reclaim proscribed artefacts and impose his edicts throughout the Age of Darkness. Built for narrative and competitive wargaming, it equips commanders with relic‑driven scenarios, expanded army options, and thematic tools that elevate any jeux de figurines collection.

Inside the 48‑page Mechanicum army expansion for wargames

• Rich lore and doctrine: Explore the origins, protocols, and battlefield rites of the Battle‑Pilgrims—how some remained steadfast to Mars' Fabricator General while others aligned with the broader Mechanicum during the galaxy‑wide schism.
• Relic‑centred operations: Lead high‑risk expeditions with the Vaults of Tharsis Legendary Mission and the Relic Hunt Missions Pack, fast‑paced scenarios focused on unearthing forbidden archeotech, lost weapons, and arcane devices.
• Skitarii Army List: Muster a Battle‑Pilgrym cohort with rules for Skitarii Battle‑Pilgrym Marshals, Skitarii Battle‑Pilgrym Corpus, Bonepicker hosts, the Skitarii Triaros Armoured Conveyor, Skitarii Karacnos Assault Tank, Skitarii Krios Battle Tank, and the Skitarii Krios Venator Tank Destroyer. Includes additional faction rules and new weapons to represent tireless techno‑warriors on the tabletop.
