Hereteks are former techpriests who have fallen from the orthodoxy of the Adeptus Mechanicus. They are notable for being free from the heavy restrictions on research that the Mechanicum enforces, which lets them create new technologies and discover new ideas their loyal counterparts may have passed over as heretical. Unfortunately, given the existence of Chaos and Necrons, some avenues of inquiry really should be left alone; a gnashing daemonic death machine arising from what was intended to be a revolutionary new farming vehicle is not unheard of.
Due to their clandestine nature, Hereteks within Imperial territory are either exist in the Imperial underworld or as fugitives, probably often looking for Necron tomb worlds to plunder or looking for STCs in places that are best avoided. While not a major part of the 40k 'verse, the Hereteks most often show up in the RPGs, most notably in Black Crusade, where they're a full-fledged archetype. Those Chaos-aligned hereteks who avoid falling victim to their own creations or the Inquisition often end up with the Dark Mechanicus and forge horrific weapons of war for the servants of the dark gods.
