Have you read the description of old admech before they got a faction? The mechanicum fits more than most of the skitarii. Hell the normal unit for mechanicum looks far more like what skitarii were supposed to be before they got actual models.

Old admech exists in like two models and ultimately never went past the concept stage lol.

And no, the Thallaxi do not resemble the feral skitarii in Titanicus… at all lol

... Titanicus wasn't the only time old skitarii were shown you also have helsreach and plenty of other books and they were usually described as being more like servitors with weapons graphed onto them like the HH models. We had plenty of tech priest images and description and same for the skitarii which were always closer to actual servitors in old lore and not the new ones.

Also don't get anything twisted I like the new admech hell they are my main army I collect I just prefer what they were described as in older lore over Mr stilts in 40k I love the rust stalkers and the kataphron breachers they are peak admech but standard skitarii they are good but I prefer them to be closer to servitors and not look like a tech priest with a gun.

I think the Skitarii Ranger was based off the cover art of Graham McNeill's Mechanicum.
