Upon arriving on Mars, the ancient Techpriests declared him to be the incarnation of the machine god. All were not in agreement. What insued was a bloody, short civil war. The rogue techpriests were forced into exile, with them they brought technology long since declared too dangerous for use.
From hidden bases they still send monsterous creations to assault the false emperor and bring an end to his kingdom. Unfortunately, they tend to be nothing more then minor disturbances.

Description: Long before the forge world of Mars fell under the sway of the Emperor, the techpriests ruled supreme. The Ferrotechs new the secret of metal and machine. It was they who created the awesome titans to crush their enemies. No longer man, but not fully a machine, Ferrotechs are truely one with their creations.
Weapons: The techpriest may choose any pistol, basic, special, close combat, and pit-slave weapons. However, he may only choose one ranged and one close combat weapon. These weapons will become part of his armor and may NOT be changed for as long as the ganger survives. The techpriest has a suit of armor that may well have been the fore runner of moder power or even terminator armor. The suit gives him an unmodifiable 6+ powerfield save (usable only against ranged attacks)and a normal 4+ armor save.
Special Rules: The techpriests are very motivated and highly versitile. As such they may test to unpin even if their is no friendly model within 2". Also, the techpriest model with the highest leadership value is used to test for gang bottle tests.

Description: As the ferrotechs were to machine, so the Biotechs were to the body. It was they who taught the Emperor the skills to make the first space marine legions and his primarchs. They require no lab, for their own body is always with them. They have unlocked the secret of the gene and the power of the warp. They use both to destroy their foes.
Weapons: The Biotech uses his own body to experiment with. As such he uses none of the weapons from any list.
Special Rules: All of the special rules from the Ferrotech apply plus the following. The biotech starts with a random minor and major wyrd power (reroll multiple and no power results). Biotechs have enhanced psy defences (long since forgotten by the empire), they are uneffected by the parrels of the warp. The biotech may also purchase one mutation at the start of the game. Before each game, a biotech MUST choose one of his own stats to "experiment" on. Roll a 1d6 to determine the impact on the stat, 1=(-2), 2=(-1), 3=(no change), 4=(+1), 5=(+2), 6=(+3). The stat will return to normal during the collect income phase. This may be used on armor if the character has the mutation of spikes. If this experiment results in a stat of 0 or less, a horrible accident has happened. The character will not be able to participate in that fight while he tries to repair himself.
