Crimson Guard: Mechanicum

The Crimson Guard, officially known as the Venatorii, are an elite military force created by the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Calixis Sector following the destruction of their Skitarii legions during the War of Brass. The Crimson Guard are some of the best-equipped and best-trained infantry in the Calixis Sector, separate from the Mechanicum’s Skitarii and frequently hired out to the Calixian Conclave of the Inquisition. Though the very first Crimson Guard were recruited from the decimated pool of the Lathe Worlds’ Skitarii, all later recruits were taken from the finest of warriors during basic training.
