Homebrew Hereteks

Homebrew Hereteks of the Dark Mechanicum are rogue Tech-Priests who have forsaken the Omnissiah of Mars in favor of dark innovation and forbidden knowledge. Unlike their more prominent counterparts, these Hereteks often operate in isolation or small cults, constructing twisted machines and daemon-infused constructs far from the scrutiny of Forge Worlds. Artwork depicting them typically blends warped cybernetic forms with occult symbolism, portraying rusted, baroque armor fused with organic horrors and sinister machine-spirit entities. These illustrations often emphasize the grotesque fusion of flesh and metal, highlighting the Hereteks’ descent into madness and corruption in pursuit of unrestrained technological power.
