Even the power armor worn by the Space Marines is crafted by the Mechanicum, and every Space Marine Chapter sends marines to Mars to learn, and return as Techmarines - still members of their chapter, but wearing modified armor, painted red like Mars, to acknowledge the Omnissiah. The Mechanicum are the ones who construct the weapons, vehicles and engines of war for the Imperium of Man. To have knowledge of technology is to be inducted into an order that is secretive, holy and exclusive. They do not have devices, they have relics. They do not have procedures, they have rites. They do not have technical documents, they have litanies. They do not have technicians, they have Tech-Priests. The most highly regarded members of society are also those with the most and greatest cybernetic upgrades. They replace their own body parts with cybernetic upgrades and believe that flesh is weak and inferior. To understand the Mechanicum, imagine a society, based on Mars, that revolves around machinery and technology so completely that even their religion is based on the Omnissiah, also known as the Machine God.
The Mechanicum is a playable faction in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop wargame, and is now a computer game!
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is the first to feature the Mechanicum (also known as the Adeptus Mechanicus), an entity in the 40K universe based on Mars and utterly dedicated to the preservation and rediscovery of technology in the 41st Millenium. In recent years, there has been a storm of new licensed games based on the Warhammer 40,000 IP created by Games Workshop. Many thanks to Kasedo Games for the review copy!
