History
When Dantris III was invaded by Tyranids, regiments from the nearby world of Lostock were drafted in to combat the menace.[1] The surface of Dantris III was heavily polluted and the infestation of Tyranid organisms made fighting outside the factory-complexes almost impossible. A few companies of the Lostock 23rd were modified by the Techpriests to fight in the hellish war zone. Incorporating many organs and drug-secreting glands that enabled them to survive unprotected, as well as boosting their combat abilities. Only a handful of Gland Warriors are believed to have survived the conflict, which saw the Tyranid swarm repulsed from Dantris III.[1][2]
The process by which the companies of the Lostock 23rd became Gland Warriors are understood by only a few Techpriests, and are rarely utilized, for the Inquisition invariably take an interest in the use of such technologies. Nonetheless, a number of regiments have been subjected to the process, and can be found across the galaxy.[1]
