Talumech
Talumech was a venerated Dreadnought of the Iron Hands Garrsak Clan, who sat on the Chapter's Clan Council.[1a]
Talumech took part in the defense of Medusa, during the 13th Black Crusade. He repelled constant attacks by Chaos forces and had killed two hundred cultist soldiers in the most recent attack. But then a chaos psyker rent open the adamantium shielding of his armour’s interface sarcophagus and what little was left of Talumech’s flesh and blood form spontaneously combusted, and with his death-throes, his twin-linked lascannon blew the psyker-witch’s head apart.[1b]
His dreadnought was then recovered from the battlefield at the peak which it stood and repaired and reconsecrated. Learning of Iron Father Anatolus Gdolkin's sacrifice over the Word Bearers of the Iscariot, the Garrsak clan had gifted the ancient dreadnought carcass to the Vurgaan Clan. It would later house the severely wounded Iron Father who recovered and continued to fight in the defense of Medusa.[1b]
