'''Shon'tu''' is an infamous [[Iron Warriors]] [[Warsmith]] and commander of the warband [[Sons of the Forge]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
Shon'tu was present during the [[Siege of Terra]] and like most within the Iron Warriors, has swore an eternal hatred for their rivals, the [[Imperial Fists]]. He was also responsible for the capture and vicious torture of Imperial Fists Captain [[Lysander]] on [[Malodrax]].{{Fn|2}} He later battled Lysander and the Imperial Fists yet again during the [[Invasion of Taladorn]], where he escaped after being defeated.{{Fn|2}}
Shon'tu later gathered a sizable force of Iron Warriors and other allies in preparation for a breakout of the [[Eye of Terror]] by attacking the nearby [[Imperial Fists]] Starforts of [[Bastion Inviolate]] and [[Endeavour of Will]] in 998.[[M41]]. The attack was led by his personal [[Grand Cruiser]], the ''Ferrous Malice''. Shon'tu consorted with many [[Daemonic]] powers to achieve his aims, binding the creature [[Velthinar]] to his will and making a pact with a band [[Tzeentch]] Daemons known as [[The Dancers]], gaining the creatures services in exchange for a vial of the blood of [[Perturabo]]. Shon'tu hoped to ascend to [[Daemon Prince|Daemonhood]] by killing [[Imperial Fists]] [[Captain]] [[Lysander]] and offering his head to the [[Gods of Chaos]]. Besides consorting heavily with Daemons, Shon'tu has much contempt for his fellow Warsmiths and considers those in his Legion who do not work with the Ruinous Powers to be weak.{{Fn|1}}
