Gaumech
Gaumech is a Battle Brother of the Iron Hands, who fought with his Chapter to end a Chaos Cult rebellion on the Hive World Gantor Terentes. Though the Cult was ultimately put down, Gaumech was heavily injured in the fighting, while serving under Sergeant Courras; forcing the Iron Father Sarlock to repair his body with augmetics. In the battling he lost a eye and his right arm to a plasma weapon and the mob hacked and shot up his left leg. During the surgeries servo skulls flew about working on seperate augmentations leg,arm,and eye. Most notable was the augmetic right arm which had been fashioned many years ago and had been essentially irreplaceable. It had survived some twenty previous hosts and Sarlock had no doubt it would survive twenty more. His stump of a right arm, melted eye, and damaged left leg where all replaced by augmetics. After he awoke from the operation, he felt his heavily augmetic body left him feeling closer to his Primarch Ferrus Manus than he had ever been before. Gaumech soon realized he looked forward to the day, when the transformation of his body would be complete and he could leave behind the weakness of his flesh forever.[1]
