The Pallid Hand are a Death Guard Warband[1][3] of the 2nd Plague Company.[6]
Overview
They are masters of the armoured assault and employ a greater number of Chaos Predators and Land Raiders than any other Death Guard Warband.[1] The Pallid Hand are also carriers of the Ferric Blight disease.[2a]
Their preferred strategy is to blast a brutal breach through enemy lines using concentrated fire from Predators and Land Raiders. 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.[6]
Known Battles
- Chambakh - Defeated by House Krast, but the surviving Knights were infected by the Ferric Blight and became the Rusthounds.[2a]
- Hollowfall - Against the Novokh Dynasty. During the battle, the Pallid Hand infected the Necrons with the Ferric Blight disease.[2a]
- Gehesma[2b]
- War of Rust and Slime[3]
- Fourth Tyrannic War[4]
- Battle for Kalighast IV[5]
Known Members
- Pustus Gloathe - Lord of Contagion. He led the Pallid Hand's 3rd Sepsis Cohort in invading the besieged Bastior Sub-sector during the Fourth Tyrannic War.[4]
