The '''Pallid Hand''' are a [[Death Guard]] [[Chaos Warband|Warband]]{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}} of the [[2nd Plague Company]].{{Fn|6}}

==Overview==
They are masters of the armoured assault and employ a greater number of [[Chaos Predator]]s and [[Land Raider]]s than any other [[Death Guard]] [[Chaos Warband|Warband]].{{Fn|1}} The Pallid Hand are also carriers of the [[Ferric Blight]] disease.{{Fn|2a}}

Their preferred strategy is to blast a brutal breach through enemy lines using concentrated fire from [[Predator]]s and [[Land Raider]]s. Once the defenses rupture, transport vehicles surge forward, striking deep into enemy ranks like a venomous spike. Plague Marines then disembark and flood the battlefield, infecting and dismantling the enemy from within like a spreading contagion.{{Fn|6}}
