Unidentified constructs observed on the battlefield.
Designation provisional: Sekhetar-pattern automata.
Internal scans indicate a non-mechanical core… saturated with immaterial energies consistent with Warp corruption.
These entities are not driven by logic-engines, but by bound arcane forces of unknown origin.
Extreme caution advised.
Standard machine rites ineffective.
Purge protocols authorized.
They do not respond to command.
They do not register pain.
They advance under a will not their own.
Conclusion: Not machines. Not life.
A blasphemous fusion of sorcery and steel.
By decree of the Imperium…
EXTERMINATE ON SIGHT.
