	The Scions of the Flesh believe that the genetic augmentations that an Astartes receives are the first step on the Path to Ascension. Practitioners of this path can vary wildly in appearance and behavior. Whilst the most advanced skin-forges can create beautifully sculpted specimens of humanity, there are plenty of less advanced enclaves that produce barely human mutants with bodies stuffed with unusual and unnecessary organs.		The Scions of the Flesh, or Organicists, believe that the genetic augmentations that an Astartes receives are the first step on the Path to Ascension. Practitioners of this path can vary wildly in appearance and behavior. Whilst the most advanced skin-forges can create beautifully sculpted specimens of humanity, there are plenty of less advanced enclaves that produce barely human mutants with bodies stuffed with unusual and unnecessary organs.

	Tend to rely on biologically modified soldiers. Basic soldiers are pseudo astartes akin to Kor Phaeron, although they are also known to utilize augmented abhumans, most notable Ogryn with strength similar to a Primarch, and ratlings able to actively slow down their metabolism so they can hold a position for days before taking a shot. Astartes tend to be even more advanced than Bile's New Men, being stronger, faster, and tougher than a normal astartes. Unfortunately their modifications are sometimes unstable and astartes and mortal auxiliaries are known to sometimes break out into cancerous tumors, that at best end up leaving them crippled for life after they are removed, and at worst kill them outright.

	Carry out breeding programs to create psykers and sometimes even request the assistance of the biologists and mechanicals in augmenting psychic abilities even further.

Their astartes are mostly psykers, non-psykers are shunned and either thrown into the fray to die, abandon their order for one of the other orders, or undergo dangerous geneseed modification or mechanical augmentation to gain psychic abilities.
