The Imperium's tech-priesthood and its cybernetic legions - robed soldiers, walking machines and weapons nobody fully understands any more.
The Machine Cult worships technology it has largely forgotten how to build. Its armies are Skitarii troopers wired into their rifles, servitor-crewed walkers, hovering priests and battle robots, all under a haze of incense and sacred oil. Visually this is one of the most distinctive ranges in the game. Robes and cabling sit against bare metal, so the army rewards a strong two-tone plan: pick a robe colour, pick a metal, and the kits do the rest. The classic deep red is the default for a reason, but Forge Worlds vary enough that almost any scheme can be justified. Expect a lot of small, fiddly detail per model - lenses, pistons, dangling mechadendrites.
On the table: A shooting army built around massed ranks of infantry supported by walkers, more fragile per model than it looks.
