Techmarines are Space Marines who have been trained by the Adeptus Mechanicus in the ways of the Machine God. The senior Techmarine in a Chapter is generally known as the Master of the Forge.
Techmarines often start as Marines with an aptitude for machinery; if they attract the notice of their Chapter leadership, they may be sent to Mars for a number of years to train with the tech-priests. After their training is complete, their armour is modified to fit their new servo-arms and backpack and is usually painted red to show allegiance to the Mechanicus, leaving only the pauldrons to display the Chapter colors and badge. This sets them apart from their battle-brothers, and means they are often not completely trusted, though to technophilic Chapters like the Iron Hands, it is a badge of honor.
When they return to their Chapter, Techmarines join their Chapter's Armoury, and maintain the Chapter's vehicles and weapons. In some Chapters, like the Salamanders, all Marines know the basic maintenance procedures for their equipment, which leaves the Techmarines free to work on more exotic weapons and war-machines.
Warpsmiths are their evil counterparts among the Chaos Space Marines.
