"We do not respect your kind Inquisitor, akin to clockwork, you repeat what has been stamped into your mind by the Inquisition, you scour the Imperium aside our forces, seeking the enemy within, and the enemy without. You demand our respect, knowing full well that the mightiest of our armies have fallen to the Great Enemy, you ask me to grant you control of my Chapter, in the name of the God Emperor. We are the Artifice Knights, akin to clockwork, we march to the tune of eternity and nothing else save the God Emperor himself. WE will safeguard this Imperium against all threats, WE will see our enemies destroyed, their worlds torn asunder and will watch as every monument to their existence is obliterated. You will be subject to the most extreme scrutiny, we will open your mind Inquisitor and we will know the truth of your intentions. If you are found to be pure of heart, you will be inducted, trained, molded by my Brothers and when the reconstruction process is finished, you will have our aide. Brother Orpheous, see to the Inquisitors examination. Ave Imperator Inquisitor, I will be taking my leave, My Brothers and I have a Galaxy to burn." Chapter Master Marx

The Artifice Knights are a chapter founded by the Adeptus Mechanicus itself, hidden from even the prying eyes of the Inquisition, the Artifice Knights are master smiths, well versed in the forgecraft of their benefactors. The Artifice Knights are known for their masterful craftsmanship and utilize a number of ancient technologies on a far more regular basis than even Chapters of the First Founding. Their suspicion of allied Imperial forces has led them to forgo entering a number of theaters of war, instead preferring to engage in Crusades where they are capable of operating alone, this self imposed seclusion has a number of benefits for their Chapter. As a chapter with access to any Forgeworld in the Imperium, the Artifice Knights slip into systems upon the most advanced Battle Barges and Starships available, alongside their Battle Barges, the Artifice Knights have multiple fleets manned by the Adeptus Mechanicus. With a near limitless access to advanced technology, the Artifice Knights are a forced to be reckoned with.

In regards to the Color Scheme, I'm going for a darker gunmetal grey sort of thing with a copper metallic and gold/Burnished Bronze highlights

The Artifice Knights Chapter

Iron Hands successors, I presume?

Iron Warriors surprisingly. Their extreme suspicion and xenophobia, Combined with their mathmatical obsessions are a bit outside of of the Iron Hands paradigm.

The Artifice Overseer is actually an automaton with a Space Marine conciousness, put in place by the Chapter Master to Oversee every facet of the Chapter.

I'm surprisingly content with their rule set and their fluff. I really enjoy the idea that a Chapter is being observed by forces within and without, in conjunction with the Admech, this chapter could have a very strong narrative element in campaigns.
