Ghosts of Iron

Adeptus Mechanicus

Stories substantially involving the Adeptus Mechanicus through research, their own objectives and conflicts. On Simia, Tech-Priest Logash investigates a Necron tomb; a secondary entry does not imply a Mechanicus viewpoint or one shared war for every book. In Indomitus, Cawl’s cycle remains distinct from the standalone stories Dominion Genesis, Ghosts of Iron and Opportunity Cost: they retain their own events, and the whole lane has no single compulsory reading order.
