The '''Rending Guard''' were the bodyguard unit of [[Iron Warriors]] [[Warsmith]] [[Andraaz]] on [[Castellax]].{{Fn|1a}} Consisting of five Iron Warriors in [[Tactical Dreadnought]] armour{{Fn|1b}}, they were among the Legion's oldest elite warriors, having fought on both [[Olympia]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Istvaan]] during the outbreak of the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}. They did not enter combat except at the personal command of Andraaz, recognizing no authority as higher than his, short of [[Perturabo]] himself.{{Fn|1a}}
During the final states of the [[Siege of Castellax]], the Rending Guard were detailed to accompany Andraaz into battle to confront [[Warboss]] [[Biglug]] in person. Unknown to them, [[Fabricator]] [[Oriax]] was secretly a traitor, and deliberately tampered with the controls of the [[Daemonculum]] [[teleporter]] device. When Andraaz and his retinue arrived on the battlefield, the Rending Guard were all dead, turned inside out by the teleportation process. Andraaz was left alive to face Biglug alone.{{Fn|1c}}
