Cogs Of Torment

Homebrew by Aionex1441

The Dark Mechanicum, also sometimes referred to incorrectly as the Dark Mechanicus, and who refer to themselves as the "New Mechanicum" or the "True Mechanicum", is a sect of traitorous Tech-priests, members of the Collegia Titanica and Chaos Knights of the ancient Mechanicum who have since become Hereteks in service to Chaos. The fundamental tenet of Hereteks is the acquisition of power through unrestrained technological advancement. Through that endevour they found, or perhaps caused the birth of a demigod that may lavish their unending thrist for knowledge, Vashtorr.

Vashtorr the Arkifane, who bears the titles of "Master of the Soul Forges" and the "God in the Machine," is the Greater Daemon of Chaos who rules over the Forge of Souls where Daemon Weapons and Daemon Engines are forged within the Immaterium's Realm of Chaos. Vashtorr serves Chaos Undivided and claims to have no connection to any of the four major Chaos Gods, having come into existence independently in the Warp as a result of mortals' obsessive pursuit of technological innovation at all costs -- especially inventions that resulted in unexpected and terrible consequences. Together with his infernal Technoaracana and the unquenchable desire of the Dark Mechanicum to explore the unknown, an unholy alliance of cogs and flames will forge their path to dominance.

"The path of the Omnissiah has left humanity dithering in the darkness, incapable of advancing on the paths of knowledge. Embracing the warp reveals technology that the primitives on Mars could never dream of wielding."

—Magos Caine of the Five-Fold Path
