What chaos god does the dark mechanicus worship?

They don't worship a specific god afaik.

A corrupted version of the Omnissiah?

they follow the Omnissaih, but differently from their non-currupted brethren.


the Mechanicus of mars maintains that there must be certain ratios of flesh to machine. they also maintain that the Emperor is a facet of the Machine God.

the Dark Mechanicus opposes these views.

They worship the omnissaih but where the admech (partialy) belive the emperor to be a manifestation of the machine god (and therefor chaos as evil), the dark mechanicus don't agree about the emperor and want to merge chaos and the machine god.

They are happy to mix daemons with technology (something the admech hate) and are much more radical.

They are essentialy the same religion but have opposite perspectives on how it should be followed. The dark mechanicus want to advace their knowlegde and control over technology by any means, whereas the admech are over cautious, and take a very long time to do anything. They want to keep machinery pure, and don't want it to become too powerful, so that it always needs humans to function.

Sometime members of the mechanicus can be decived by a daemon (usually one of tzeench's cronies) into thinking it is the omnissiah.

The dark mechanicus believe that there's no line you can't cross, nothing is off limits. So where the imerial mechinus will forbid certain technologies like A.I's, the dark mechanicus has no problem with this, including more abominable things such as demon engines.
