Galthite

The Galthite are a saurian Xenos species^[1] from the Oenorian Inner Systems.^[2]

Overview

Galthite Lacerator worn by a Kroot.^[5a]

They are the creators of the Galthite lacerator, a fist-like weapon capable of rending flesh with ease.^[2] Designed to cover inhumane hands, the fist is covered in blades that tarnish and shine in an eerie blue-green when exposed to blood. These bladed claws can be adjusted to be better fit a human hand, to some degree.^[6]

Similiarly, Siege Claws used by Chaos Decimators are noted to resemble certain blades used by the Galthite serrator-assassins.^[4]

Known Engagements

In one of their wars, the Red Talons Chapter and their Contemptor Dreadnought Skara Brae fought with this race.^[3] Some of the species, also joined the Warband of the Dragon Warriors Sorcerer Lord Nihilan and took part in his invasion of the Salamanders' Homeworld Nocturne.^[1]

At some point during the Second Tyrannic War, the warsphere of the Murabla Kindred defeated a Galthite Expansionist warband. The Kroot leader, Khibala Yusra, took the powerful Galthite lacerator weapon from the corpse of the Galthite leader after Khibala Yusra slew them.^[5b]
