I’ve been seeing a lot of interesting stories and lots of good tips for keeping astartes and such, so I decided I’d dip my toes in the water!
While I have never really kept many astartes, we had an older pair of ultramarines(? I’m pretty sure?-) when I was younger but they were more my parents astartes then anything, I do keep Admechs. Right now I actually have a very sweet (albeit a bit of a nuisance some times—) Magos Explorator and their equally as precious companion Logis. But you see this is where issues kind of arise, I love both of them a lot and I do try to keep them as happy and stimulated as possible (as especially with my explorator, they get very antsy and mischievous when not) but this does take up a lot of time from my work and things. so a few months ago I decided to get a trio of skitarri to hopefully try and curb some of my magos duos tendencies to break out their pen and cause havoc in my home and surrounding neighborhood when I’m trying to work on bigger projects that require more of my attention.
Well, I was excited to find my Logis absolutely loved the new little skits. Even taking very good care of them when on some rare occasion I’m not around to watch them! Though, to my dismay, my explorator seems to want nothing to do with them??? I was very bummed about this as I had read skitarris made for very good companions to magos and it just seems to have made him want to break out even more than usual.
Maybe it’s me being a bit inexperienced, as while I’ve had my magos for a few years now I’m no expert, or maybe I made them upset in some way with bringing these skitarri home, but it’s very worrying that they’re trying to break out so much now as— especially as of late— I’ve seen a few astartes I don’t fully recognize wandering about and it’s always my fear they’ll end up being some territorial breed or like- an iron warrior and my explorator will get into some fight he can’t win since he can be extremely stubborn. Not to mention without my logis by his side he has a habit of straying too far from home before I can catch him again.
Any astartes keepers have tips for keeping unwanted astartes away? Is it really something I should worry about? Have I read too many astartes horror stories? Any tips to help with this? It would be greatly appreciated!
Well that is a major relief! Definitely a load off my mind to know I won’t have to fight off any feral war bands-
I’ll try that out sometime then! My Explorator has always been one for finding unlikely friends, hopefully things do go well— I’ll post some updates when the situation develops further.
Thank you so much for your help!

What can I say? They’re bug coded to me….
The bug coding continues 🥰🥰

Oh geez! I hadn’t even realized!! Tysm for the information! It’s been a really hard go to find the right reading— I’ll definitely get on this right away!!
Ahh ty again!!!
really hoping this will be the fix because I don’t think my Domus Possessor Consociatio will be too happy with the nuclear option-

Some updates!! After some helpful tips it seems I luckily don’t have an iron warrior problem on my hands and actually a small group of Iron hands!
With the down time I’ve had I took my Explorator on a few more walks than usual and he seemed to enjoy them a lot, we even bumped into the Iron hands in question a few times. I made sure to keep a close eye and did my best not to scare the little guys off and they seemed to interact pretty well!
Though I’ve started to notice tech bits showing up on my porch, which all of my Admechs are certainly delighted by but I think I recognized one of the pieces as one that goes to a chimera so I’m hoping it’s just the scrap yard a few blocks away— cause uh- I’m a bit worried if if it isn’t
I also received some information that I may have upset the balance of my two Admechs with bringing in the new skitarri, so I’m trying out the suggestion of getting 2 cohorts of vanguard skitarri. I’m hoping this will work out because while my Explorator is very greatful for the walks be definitely still isn’t too happy about the skits (and at the same time my Logis doesn’t seem too keen on letting them go 😓), but it’s a slow go as I’m trying to scoop up some extra information so this time I hopefully won’t make another mistake like before.
Fingers crossed!!
Make sure youre not overstocking your battle mat with the new cohorts and I'd recommend putting them into quarantine first before introducing them to your main enclosure incase of scrap code disease.
Oh yeah!— that’s one thing I definitely don’t wanna do, it’s one of my biggest fears when it comes to keeping my Admechs. It’s really why I’ve waited this long to even bring in the skitarri I have already.
I had them quarantined away for maybe a bit more then they needed to be just bc I was psyching myself out about worrying if they had Scrap code or not. (It’s also why I’m trying to take my explorator out a bit more right now as I’m being very careful about who I’m getting this next cohort from and kind of trying to see if things can maybe mellow out—)
But anyway, Ty for the advice and concerns!
Major update!!!!
So, like I’ve mentioned before, bringing in new cohorts was kind of stressing me. I wanna do what I can to keep my Admechs happy obviously but at the same time I don’t wanna take on more then I can handle!— so I decided I’d keep watch of my Explorator to try and see if I was missing any behavioral signs and making sure to acquire more reading, as of late I noticed something and well— it’s the cutest thing!!!!! Guuuuyys!!
I had thought my Explorator didn’t want anything to do with my little skitarri since he had been trying to escape a lot and a few times when checking my skitarri would be cuddled up with my Logis. But I noticed that more often when he gets out my skitarri are gone too! (Worrying I know but hang in there-)
Then, I found that sometimes the skitarri just can’t be found And my Logis will be following behind Explorator a lot more often then usual- and guys??? You know why?!?!
Because my Explorator has been hiding the skitarri under his elytra and carrying them around🥺🥺!!! It’s literally so stinking cute too!
It even got me thinking as, before I’d Brought these skits home the Astartes really didn’t hang around much, let alone bring the scraps like they have been. That was until after my explorator started getting out more and of course when I started introducing him more to the Astartes— so I’m a bit worried my Explorator— knowing his personality— is bullying this pack of Iron hands into dropping off scraps for his own gain and that of our new Skitarri 😅
Honestly!! It’s precious— he gives me little hums if I get too close and mess with his elytra when they’re under there (he normally doesn’t mind me messing with it as I check to make sure he isn’t hiding things he shouldn’t have or make sure he isn’t hurt check ups and things-) he’s just a big protective teddy bear 🥺
Ah that honestly tracks pretty well— for as independent as he can be he loves delegating tasks. So far the skits really have been getting a lot of the scraps but with the ones he’s been keeping I haven’t really been able to make anything out exactly but then again he’s been throwing a fit because I didn’t let him have a more explosive piece of tech the astartes had left for him, so I’m trying to keep an eye on his little project to make sure I won’t have to take another complaint up with my Domus Possessor Consociatio about my AdMech blowing up peoples mailboxes- again
