The Faithful Soldiers of the Machine God
There is something unsettling and magnificent about a line of Skitarii advancing across a battlefield — half-human, half-machine, their bodies rebuilt and augmented in service to the Omnissiah. These are the ground troops of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the cybernetic warrior-pilgrims of Mars, and a well-painted squad of them is one of the most striking sights in all of Warhammer 40,000. Whether you are building a new force from the ground up or adding bodies to an existing Adeptus Mechanicus army, this kit is the foundation everything else is built around.
What's in the Box
This multi-part plastic kit builds ten Skitarii — your choice of Rangers or Vanguard, two distinct unit types with different battlefield roles. Rangers are long-range marksmen, equipped with arc rifles and other precision weaponry, designed to hold ground and pick apart enemies from a distance. Vanguard close the gap, their bodies saturated with irradiated coolant that weakens anything they stand near. The box includes 124 components in total, with twenty-three heads (eleven specific to Rangers), twenty-five weapon options, and a transfer sheet for markings and insignia. Bases are included: one Citadel 60x35.5mm Oval Base and ten Citadel 25mm Round Bases. The sheer number of components means meaningful loadout choices and excellent variety in poses — no two squads need to look the same. This is a multi-part kit that requires plastic glue and basic hobby tools to assemble, and rewards hobbyists who enjoy the building process.
Who This Kit Is For
Skitarii Rangers and Vanguard are the backbone of any Adeptus Mechanicus force, which makes this box essential for anyone collecting the faction. New hobbyists drawn to the Mechanicus aesthetic — all robes and respirators and glowing optical lenses — will find these models deeply satisfying to paint. The layered cloth, intricate metalwork, and exposed augmetics give painters plenty of variety across the ten figures. Experienced collectors building toward a larger army will want multiple kits. The dual-build nature also makes this a strong choice for hobbyists who want flexibility: buy two boxes and build one squad of Rangers and one of Vanguard without ever duplicating a model.
