'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (also '''Vostok Pistonhand'''){{Fn|2}} was an [[Iron Warriors]] [[Warpsmith]]. In 993.[[M41]] he would stage a coup on [[Diesos]], a Soul Forge occupied by the [[Dark Mechanicum]]. After a single night of bloodshed, the entire world was given over to the production of [[Daemon Engines]] for the Warpsmith's army. Each new creation was bound to Pistonhand's will by a forbidden ritual known as the [[Concatechism]]. The Warpsmith's [[Sorcerer]]s summoned [[Daemon]] after Daemon to the soul forges, binding them into the flames with spells.{{Fn|1}} He forged a mass of abominations: a modified [[Defiler]] named [[Doom Crab]], and one of the Vostok's [[Techno-Spawns]] which was made from detritus found amid the filth of his cutting room are just some of his creations.{{Fn|2}}
Eventually, when the [[Chaos Gods]]' gaze fell upon the mass abductions of their servants, they proved to be most displeased and exacted revenge upon Pistonhand. Four massive daemonic hordes soon materialized on Diesos, one sent from each of the Ruinous Powers. The united horde proved unstoppable and overran Pistonhand's armies within a month.{{Fn|1}}
