It is not uncommon for forge worlds to launch vast, interstellar crusades in order to recover some lost repository of scientific knowledge or weapons technology, should such a prize present itself.Īn Adeptus Mechanicus army in the field resembles a bizarre and grotesque religious procession.

Such is the will of the Omnissiah, and his priests will stop at nothing to see that will done. The Adeptus Mechanicus prize knowledge above all things, and without a second thought they will shed oceans of blood – both the enemy’s and their own – in their endless crusade for its acquisition. As bolts thunder from the guns of their guardian spears, swords and axes, their gilded storm shields deflect shots and blades as they fight and slay the enemies of the Emperor.

Guided by psychic divination and the intelligence gathered by shadowy agents, they strike down demagogues and warlords who might otherwise raise invasion forces against the heart of the Imperium.

I retired from the Corps in 1975, and I live in the Missouri Ozarks. I am seventy-seven years old and can still wear my dress blues uniform, as you can see in my photos. I have three Purple Heart Medals, a Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V,” and twenty-one other medals and ribbons. I joined the United States Marine Corps in 1951. I had to quit school and go to work in order to live. This is the first one to make it to a publisher. Some make a career of the Corps and even stay in long enough to retire, but they never reach their goal of being a professional.
