Cosplayer AKUMURA decided to travel to the brutal universe of Warhammer 40,000 to glorify the Omnissiah, study all kinds of technologies, and protect the Imperium from deadly dangers.
During the photoshoot, which was conducted by photographer Pavel "Leno" Grishin, the model appeared as a tech-priestess from the Adeptus Mechanicus – a technocratic organization, also known as the Priesthood of Mars.
Tech-priests consider organic flesh weak and imperfect, so they strive to replace it with cybernetic implants for greater efficiency and closeness to the Machine God.
Knowledge, according to the Mechanicus cult, is the highest manifestation of divinity, and accordingly all creations and technologies embodying knowledge are sacred. The value of a person is determined only by his knowledge, his body is just an organic shell capable of preserving intelligence.
Members of the Adeptus Mechanicus accept the Emperor as the earthly incarnation of the Machine God, manage Forge Worlds – planets completely covered with factories, maintain complex equipment, and are constantly looking for ancient technologies.
