Games Workshop Horus Heresy Journal Tactica Skitarii: The Steel Hand Of Mars 48-Page Softcover

The Horus Heresy Journal Tactica Skitarii: The Steel Hand Of Mars is a 48-page softcover gaming supplement for the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy tabletop wargame. It expands the narrative and gameplay possibilities of the Age of Darkness setting by focusing on the secretive Skitarii Battle-Pilgryms of the Cult Mechanicus. These warriors are tasked with safeguarding and recovering dangerous technological relics, adding a distinct faction with unique objectives to the galactic civil war. The supplement provides in-depth lore exploring the Skitarii's role and the schisms created by the Heresy. It includes the Vaults of Tharsis Legendary Mission and a Relic Hunt Missions Pack, offering fast-paced narrative scenarios centred on recovering ancient artefacts. Crucially, it contains a complete army list with rules for fielding units like Skitarii Marshals, Corpus troops, Bonepicker hosts, and vehicles such as the Triaros Armoured Conveyor, Karacnos Assault Tank, and Krios Battle Tank, complete with new faction rules and weapon profiles. This book is designed for players who already own the core Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness Rulebook and the Liber Mechanicum faction book. It is best suited for hobbyists looking to add the technologically augmented forces of the Mechanicum to their games or those seeking new narrative mission structures. It fits into the wider Horus Heresy gaming ecosystem by providing specialised rules that allow for thematic army building and scenario-based play focused on relic recovery operations.
