- Tormageddon Monstrum Rex is a Chaos Warship. Probably built as an imperial vessel, it must have been acquired by the chaos forces in the follow-up of Horus' heresy, receiving the name of Tormageddon -the name of a chaos demon. The Classification of the ship is unclear.
- It appears in the Dan Abnett's reports around Gaunt's Ghosts (Tanith's first and only).
- 1.: in Sabbat Martyr it breaches an imperial blockade to allow a massive chaos-invasion on Heredot. It's described as acting agressively and flooding the communications screaming it's name.
- 2.: in Salvation's reach, it shadows The Highness Ser Armaduke without engaging
- 3.: in Warmaster, Tormageddon Monstrum Rex provides assistance to The Highness Ser Armaduke to fight off a cannibalistic chaos boarding-attack. By this T.H. Ser Armaduke remains preserved, with the two chaos agents (Dalin and Yoncy Criid/Kolea) on board and Colonel-Commissar Gaunt is -again accused of being touched by the warp.
- It's commonly described as very old, aggressive, huge, powerful and acting as having acquired conciousness. Thus the level of chaos' command structures it is assigned to, remains unspecified. During Salvation's Reach, it witnesses Gaunt's commando-mission to demolish the laboratories on Salvation's Reach as a false-flag-operation. Never the less, the mission is successful, driving wedges of mistrust between the chaos' forces -which plays out mainly against Sek. Its role in Warmaster seems to play directly into the hands of Sek's plan of infiltrating Gaunt's Ghosts. As a conclusion, it might belong to the highest levels of chaos' navy, or on the level of Anarch Sek's operational assets while maybe acting out of personal self-interest or in misconduct of orders.
