The Ironsoul was a Baneblade Super Heavy Tank that was formerly in service with the Planetary Defence Forces of Quintus.[1b]

When Quintus was subjugated by the Daemon Prince Voldorius, most of the PDF submitted to his rule and the Ironsoul became a powerful asset to the Traitor forces on the planet. Notably, Voldorius used the Ironsoul to massacre thousands of the inhabitants of the city of Mankarra as punishment after a failed attempt on his life by pro-Imperial resistance fighters.[1a][1b]

Later a force of Space Marines of the Raven Guard and White Scars Chapters arrived to liberate Quintus. The Ironsoul, which by this point had been corrupted by Chaos to the extent that its interior had transmuted into a fleshy mass, was unleashed to try to prevent the White Scars from breaching the defensive lines around Mankarra. It rampaged through the White Scars' lines, but the tank was outmanoeuvred and crippled by the Space Marines before Kor'sarro Khan penetrated the Ironsoul's innards and destroyed it.[1c]
