'''"Karaashi" Bombastus''' was an [[Iron Hands]] [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] that served with the [[65th Clan-Company (Iron Hands)|65th Clan-Company]], under the Command of [[Captain]] [[Ulrach Branthan]] and based aboard the ''[[Sisypheum]]''.{{Fn|1a}} He was armed with a [[Powerfist]] and [[Stormbolter]], [[Flamer|Flame Cannons]] and a retro-fitted Missile Rack that rotated down over his rear armour plates.{{Fn|1b}}
As a warrior he was given to great passions and furious charges. With a temper to match the bellicose temperament of the volcano and a love of fiery destruction, he was named "Karaashi" after the volcanic peak into which [[Ferrus Manus]]'s life pod had crashed. This stuck even after his interment in a [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnought Sarcophagus]], the transition from mortal flesh to iron had only increased his aggression in battle.{{Fn|1b}} Bombastus fought in the [[Battle for the Carollis Star]].{{Fn|1c}} Bombastus would later meet his final end in an action against the [[Iron Warriors]] on [[Iydris]]; he fought a duel against the Iron Warriors Dreadnought [[Warsmith]] [[Berossus]] and had the upper hand due to his relative experience fighting as a Dreadnought and Berossus's weapons lacking ammunition after fighting against the [[Eldar]] guardians of the planet. However, he was hit by a blast from [[Cadaras Grendel|Cadaras Grendel's]] [[meltagun]], then pounded and crushed by Berossus's [[Siege Hammer]].{{Fn|1c}}
