Metalica is a forge world located in the Ultima Segmentum that is almost entirely made of metal. All biological life has been exterminated so the Tech-Priests could focus on their work without disruption. Metalica produces vast numbers of weapons and machines for war, including the Titan Legion known as the Iron Skulls. The Iron Skulls played a key role in defending Armageddon from Ork invaders, though they suffered heavy losses. Metalica's armies, including its Skitarii and Kastelan robots, are distinguished by their white robes with red trim and gunmetal prosthetics, paying homage to both their Martian heritage and the blood spilled in battle.

Alongside Knight allies Legio Metalica and its Skitarii escort against a wave of Ork from the nearby world of Kolossi, Metalica’s armies have fought Titan-class threats and six million Ork infantry. After slaying at the forefront of many battles, including the second and third an Ork Gargant in a gruelling duel, Mannheim ordered his Armageddon wars.

Though Metalica’s legions are fiercely independent
from the cloying touch of Mars, the hammer and fist icon of Metalica is depicted in deep red in honour of their Martian forefathers.
The white robes of the Metalican warriors mirror the sterile
perfection of their lifeless world, and the purity of the machines that thrive there. To complement these pale colours, the Metalicans use adornments of red, either to pick out details like the cog- toothed hem of the Electro-Priests’ robes, or as unit markings on the hulls of Kataphron and Kastelan constructs. The touches of crimson used to embellish the stark colours of Metalica’s heraldry are a nod towards their heritage as part of the greater Adeptus Mechanicus, although it is said that the forge world’s Kastelan Robots also display the ritual colour to honour the blood they have spilt in centuries of war.
Unusually, the heraldry of Metalica’s Skitarii is dictated by their
battlefield role. Skitarii Vanguard and Rangers wear metallic armour plates and white robes with red linings. Sicarians usually wear white battle plate, forgoing red altogether. All of Metalica’s Skitarii bear gunmetal prostheses and cybernetic enhancements made from the very same substance that covers the planet’s surface.
