Techmarines are Space Marines who have been trained by the Adeptus Mechanicus in the ways of the Machine God. The senior Techmarine in a Chapter is generally known as the Master of the Forge.
Techmarines often start as Marines with an aptitude for machinery; if they attract the notice of their Chapter leadership, they may be sent to Mars for a number of years to train with the tech-priests. After their training is complete, their armour is modified to fit their new servo-arms and backpack and is usually painted red to show allegiance to the Mechanicus - leaving only the pauldrons to display the Chapter colors and badge. This sets them apart from their battle-brothers and means they are not often completely trusted, though to technophilic Chapters like the Iron Hands it is a badge of honour.
When they return to their Chapter, Techmarines join their Chapter's Armoury and maintain the Chapter's vehicles and weapons. In some Chapters like the Salamanders all Marines know the basic maintenance procedures for their equipment, leaving the Techmarines free to work on more exotic weapons and war machines.
Warpsmiths are their evil counterparts among the Chaos Space Marines.
