Overview
The Warband's appearance shows how they earned their name, as the Weeping Legion enter a battle covered in the foul ichor of their own continuously dripping wounds. However, this benefits the Warband, as with each layer of rancid filth that encrusts their armour, the Weeping Legion become even more resistant to damage.[1] Wherever these warriors set foot, the battleground swiftly transforms into a blood-soaked quagmire of vile corruption, so abhorrent that the enemy can no longer withstand its horrors.[3]
The Weeping Legion is known to favour the use of Daemon Engines which they employ alongside large numbers of alongside their Plague Marines and Terminators. Such is their desire to acquire more Daemon Engines that they have struck bargains with the Dark Mechanicum of the Tri-Forge Cluster. In exchange they regularly raid loyalist Mechanicum holdings in order to seize adepts and technology to trade with the Dark Magi for more Daemon Engines.[2]
The Legion maintains its home in the fortress of the 5th Plague Company on the Plague Planet. Their lair is known as the Syklopeion and is home to thousands of bubo-covered slaves who go about their duties. Its laboratories rack with decay as Plague Surgeons go about their work alongside Biologus Putrifiers and Foul Blightspawn.[2]
