Like their creator, these machines were both destructive and terrifying in appearance. They were first encountered on [[Ashek II]], against which the [[Imperial Guard]]'s infantry forces proved so impotent that [[Marshal]] [[Blackwood]] transmitted urgent pleas to [[Warmaster]] [[Slaydo]] for [[Titan]] reinforcement. The "duels" between the Imperial Titans and Asphodel's Woe Machines traumatized many of the witnessing [[Guardsmen]] far beyond any wounds they had taken.{{Fn|1a}}
These grotesque machines were later encountered during the [[Battle of Balhaut]] in 765.M41, when Asphodel unleashed them against the Imperial forces assaulting the Oligarchy citadel. They were powerful enough to drive back even the [[Silver Guard]] [[Space Marines]].{{Fn|1c}} as products of the [[Hive]] city of [[Ferrozoica]] on [[Verghast]], where the Heritor mobilised the city's entire population to exterminate its neighbour, [[Vervunhive]].{{Fn|2}}
