Cult of the OmnissiahBattle for Ammoriss Rules Supplement for Necromunda

The Adeptus Mechanicus have a strong presence on Ammoriss. Their

manufactorums and mining operations are a well know part of life. Millions ofworkers toil for the benefit of the Omnissiah and under the watchful gaze of his

priests. As a result of the widespread reach of the Adeptus Mechnicus onAmmoriss, a minority of citizens have adopted the Cult of the Omnissiah for

themselves. The under-dwellers of Imperial Tower are no different.

The Cult of the Omnissiah is one ofmany sanctioned cults allowed by theEcclesiarchy on Ammoriss. However,it is one of the most popular. It isestimated that one in ten citizens arefollowers of the Ad-Mechs

philosophies. Much to theEcclesiarchies dismay, the Red Toweractively promotes the Cult of theOmnissiah and often draws from itsadherents into the ranks of the localtech-adepts.

The Cult of the Omnissiah offerssimple tenants to lead a spiritual lifeby following the Emperor asOmnissiah. The famous sixteen laws.

These laws deem the machine asperfection and all other forms asnaturally flawed. As a result, bionic

replacement, metal grafting, and otherbody modifications are popular withinthe ranks of the Cult. The moremodifications, the more difficult it isfor the devotee to blend into regularAmmoriss society, and the deeper

they become involved in the CultMechanicus.

During the Battle for Ammoriss,restlessness and terror spreadthroughout the lower levels of Imperial

Tower. To protect themselves, thosecitizens loyal to the Cult of theOmnissiah gathered into gangs forself-protection, and other less noblepurposes. They were frequently eagerto help suppress other gangs and cultsin their territories.
