Forge World Properties and Glicthes

Reoccurring Glitches	d10
Small power surges in mechanical implants that cause shocks and can occasionally lead to debilitating failure of critical areas such as limbs and internal "organs".	1-2
Receivers and transceivers act up, and occasionally one's ionosphere goes down to potentially harmful levels.	3-4
There are flaws in the programing of skitarii's targeting scanners, and causing inaccuracies over long distances, proving disastrous in combat.	5-6
Skitarri occasionally suffer from the feared blue screen of death, which causes entire maniples to cease to function until the holy rites of resuscitation can be enacted.	7-8
Kastelans achieve sentience, and must be purged.	9-10

Skitarii Tactical Information

Forgeworld Army (1d100) Core Units
1-25	Combat Servitor Reliant: Almost entirely comprised of simple combat servitors, relying only on techpriests and skitarii for leadership roles.

46-60	Skitarii Reliant: Composed almost entirely of Skitarii, serving all functions within the army.

91-100	Kastelan Controllers and their Machines: The army is entirely made up of Kastelan robots and their Operators.

Sentience in Units	d10
Cogs in the Great Machine: These skitarii are little more than drones controlled remotely by techpriests.	1-2

Infamous Failures (d10)
1	Horrific Blunder - In some how part due to the Forgeworld's and its maniples incompetence, a vital STC blueprint was utterly destroyed. Whether or not it is truly their fault, it matters not; they carry with them a deep shame for which they will always be looked down upon.
2	Fallen Forge - This maniple is directly responsible for the loss of a critical forge to enemy hands, whether it be from the conniving Xenos or the dreaded hands of chaos. This has hurt the pride of the maniple, and has also reduced the manufacturing ability of the forgeworld over all.
3	Heretek - Through methods of un-holy science, the maniple was able to defeat a mighty enemy. It was only afterwards were these powers revealed and purged, along with any who had a hand in it.
4	Death of Logic - The Maniples lines were broken through during a Daemonic invasion, scattering as the warp spawn cut through them and those they were charged to protect. Visions of the impossible geometries and horrific forces scarred them, weakening the maniples belief in the unfailing logic of the Machine god.
5	Broken Mechanism - Through a horrific betrayal, the Maniple was forced to slay its sister forge world, killing off all its spirits, priests and machines, many of whom we're brothers and sisters in the cult. When the maniple left, all that remained were the broken, shattered pieces of those they once held closest.
6	Horrors of the Past - This Maniple was present during the awakening of a major Necron Tomb World. At first what seemed a miracle, turned to a darkest nightmare as their fellows were cut down by beams of pale green light. Escaping with the minimal amounts of data they could, they have never since escaped the emerald glare of technologies true masters.
7	Recall File: Tyrannis - In a experience not unfamiliar with the ad-mech, a important forge world under the maniples watch fell prey to a Tyranid hive fleet, which left the world a unproductive ruin, its great manufactorums now silent
8	Clash of Faith - This maniple suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of a Sisters of Battle covenant after offending the honored sisters. Many forges were ruined in their zealot rage, and from now on, the Forgeworld is sure to remember the fine balance of the emperor and the Omnissiah.
9	Upstart Enemies - In a apalling turn of events, the Maniple allowed a army of the wretched Tau to capture a crucial forgeworld. When the Tau were finally repelled, they found the Machine spirits desecrated, and unwilling to return to the proper bindings of its true masters. In rage, the entirety of the forges were destroyed.
10	Titans Fall - This Maniple was nearly wiped out when during a war against the fell powers, A entire titan legion turned traitor. Death sung from their cannons, and even to this day, whispers tell of the horrors visited upon them by their former brothers, which still hunt them to this day.

>Leadership type 1d6 > 1 we are all cogs in the great machine (no one true leader rule through elected or most senior members) > 2 Only the machine god can truly lead us (ruler is the divine machine god) >3 just as the machine is tried and proven in battle so must our leader (leaders must prove themselves) >4 only those of us who have trasended flesh may lead ( leader or leaders are almost entirely machine) >5 individual cogs must be governed separately ( every part of the skittari is governed by a ranking official who is then governed by another) >6 Pick two.

Let me think of another chart. Maybe something to do with the bionics? >1: All bionics. Remove flesh. >10: Minimal bionics. >5: You niggas need to find a balance. >6: Biologis

Recruiting methiods >1: you are born Mechanicus: only those bred/grown on forge worlds >2: stewardship of the lesser: grace your knowledge upone those chosen from worlds you connect with [like knight worlds] >3: balance >4: Penal Legion alternative >5: Forced Servitude

Lastly, add a name, colours, and heraldry. God-Emperor help us all.
