Secutarii Forces During The Heresy

[mega_marines]

This might be a bizarre set of questions to ask...but...what kind of Mechanicus units and equipment do the Secutarii have in their forces during the Heresy? We know of Titans being escorted and protected by their Secutarii Axiarchs, Peltasts, and Hoplites, but what about large Cybernetica units or vehicles?

 

I’m imagining they have a couple of Magos and the like, but what about things like Castellax, Thanatar, Myrmidons, and tanks/vehicles? I’m assuming no flyers or Ordinatus.

 

I’m trying to make a force filled with stuff that would be in the Collegia Titanica alongside their Titans, but all internal forces.

 

Any help would be super awesome. Thanks!

In the material that Forge World draws much of their inspiration from Secutarii were essentially Guard regiment under the direct command of Titan legions. If you google Adeptus Titanicus War Griffons and do an image search you can find some old color spreads about the their Secutarii. Personally, I’d bet an expanded Secutarii army list would have access to things like dune crawlers, Krios battle tanks, and maybe even rhinos. The Cybernetica and Thallax are noted as being seconded to Titan Legions in their own Battle Cohorts, too. I’d imagine you’d see them fighting together in any kind of game setting, but in the lore they would have two separate chains of command that report back to the Princeps Senioris.

I think vehicles would fit, Krios squadrons and any Triaros. It's got to be fast enough to keep pace with the titans.

 

I'd like FW to release basic tech guard rules, skitarii would be nice to see.

Yeah I really hope that we see a modified force organisation chart for the Secutarii akin to the current Cybernetica / Reductor versions of the Mechaicum list. With the possibility of new Titans introduced in Titanicus being ported to the Age of Darkness thanks to the wonders of CAD, I wonder if we'll get more on the Secutarii, maybe even a modified Leviathan chart for fielding detachments of Secutarii alongside multiple Titans with appropriately interesting special rules, etc.

 

Edit: admittedly, I've been mulling over creating the latter myself along with some simple upgrades / additional options for our current crop of Titans because I've been designing some new patterns of Titan & Titanicus has got me thinking
