===Skitarii Marshal===

A new Skitarii rank, the Skitarii Marshal is the head honcho in directing lesser Skitarii at the front lines and leaving the important plans up to their superiors. They are over-glorified lieutenants for the Machine God’s armies and will ensure their Rangers make the most of every shot. Like all Skitarii, they wear [[Skitarii War Plate]] into combat. Alpha's answer to Marshalls, who in turn report to the Tech-Priests.

Decitor Septrax-Tertian is the most well-known of these Marshals, as he took part in the Charadon Campaign. He proved to be one of the most skilled and resourceful Imperial commanders of the war.

On the tabletop, these guys act as unit buffers and supports and it totally shows. Toting a [[Radium Serpenta]] (sadly not a pistol, but assault) as well as a weapon equal to a power maul called a [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Control Stave|Control Stave]] to go bonk if any enemy decides to close in for an attack.

Very useful as a support unit - they allow a nearby <Forge World> Skitarii or a <Forge World> Skitarii Data-Tether unit anywhere on the board to ignore the penalty applied when using a Doctrina. An example of this is with the Skitarii Vanguard; simply placing them with a Marshall allows for additional wound (and hit, with a relic) rerolls, [[Rape|these rerolls are gonna get nasty pretty quickly]].

The great weakness is that they have zero [[Wat|repair ability]], which is funny given that they are from the AdMech and all, so you'll need another HQ to cover that niche or your army will get whittled down over time.
