Battle Maniple

Adeptus Mechanicus Rites of War :: Table of Contents
Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus, p. 21

The standard battle maniple of the Mechanicum armies, modeled after those of mars follow a strict requirement and set up. Each primary battle maniple consists of 6 Skitarii units, supported by 3 Kataphron Battle Automata forces and single detachment from the Legion Cybernetica. This highly regimented force has proven itself effective on a thousand battlefields, making use of the endurance of the Skitarii cybernetics, the fire support they bring to bear as a combined arms force and excellent communication via the noosphere.
