Malliant
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Malliant was a Captain of the 42nd Paragonian Armoured, who had command of the regiment's 3rd Company by the end of the 300's.M41.[1]
In 397.M41, the 42nd were deployed on Kalidar IV against the orks of Waaagh! Gratzdakka in the Kalidar War. The 3rd Company formed part of Formation Beta, supporting the 7th Super-heavy Company advance on the Kostoval Flats to break the siege of the Urta mining complex. However, the Militarum forces were ambushed by a unit of ork walkers, including a Gargant. Malliant was killed in the attack, as was his second-in-command, so command of the company temporarily fell to Lieutenant Bannick.[1]
