Vhostok Pistonhand

Chaos Portal
Iron Warriors

Vhostok Pistonhand (also Vostok Pistonhand)^[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 Sorcerers summoned Daemon after Daemon to the soul forges, binding them into the flames with spells.^[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.^[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.^[1]
