Protect your Titans with the Secutarii Axiarch model; new cybernetically enhanced leaders that will defend these mighty war machines.
The Machine Cults of Mars are bringing something new to the Horus Heresy table! The Secutarii Axiarch, is a commander designed to protect the towering Titan Legions. These leaders aren’t your average battlefield strategists—they’re cybernetically enhanced warriors, clad in armor forged from fallen Titans, and wielding weapons that crackle with raw energy.
Secutarii Axiarch – Protecting the Titans
When Titans march into battle, they’re walking fortresses capable of obliterating anything in their path. But even these massive war machines have vulnerabilities. Infantry units with the right equipment can exploit weak points, and that’s where the Secutarii come in. This elite guard keep the Titans safe, and at their head stands the Axiarch.
These commanders come from those who’ve already proven their worth in defending or salvaging Titans. After selection, they undergo extensive cybernetic enhancements, reshaping their bodies into something that’s as much machine as it is human. It’s all about crafting the perfect protector, and the result is both terrifying and impressive.
Armor and Weapons Fit for a Titan’s Guardian
The Axiarch are decked out in Titanshard plate, forged from the material of the very Titan they helped save. This isn’t just a badge of honor; it’s armor that can shrug off devastating attacks, ensuring they stay in the fight as long as possible.
Their mag-inverter shield is more than just protection. Paired with an arc lance, it becomes a weapon in its own right. The inversion generator within the shield unleashes bursts of energy, tearing through anything unlucky enough to get too close. It’s a mix of defense and offense that ensures the Axiarch can lead from the front without hesitation.
The Axiarch isn’t just a figurehead—they’re a hands-on commander, leading their troops into the thick of battle. Secutarii units rely on their guidance to protect the Titans, and the Axiarch’s battlefield presence makes a huge difference. With their combat acumen and advanced gear, they embody the Machine Cult’s devotion to the Omnissiah.
Where to Find The Secutarii Axiarch
The Secutarii Axiarch’s rules are in the Liber Mechanicum – Forces of the Omnissiah Army Book, giving players everything they need to field this formidable character. Like many of the finest models in the Horus Heresy range, this one is cast in Forge World resin, ensuring it looks as stunning as it performs.
