No Man’s Land Siege Beast

It is said that in the beginning, the Heresiarch climbed the Lost Mountain to escape his pursuers and seek the supreme enlightenment that would allow him to open a Rift into Hell, where his masters dwelled. The tale claims he lived alone at the mountain’s summit, within the ruins of a tumulus-tower of black stone slabs, attended only by spirits from another realm. There, he learned secrets beyond the reach of any mortal, and one day he descended from the mountain at the head of an army to scourge the nations of the world.

Legend holds that this first army was made up of wolves, bears and beasts. But… where did these animals come from? Everyone knows that in the inhospitable heights of the Lost Mountain, life does not thrive—game is scarce, and even predators cannot survive. The answer is simple: the Heresiarch created them, though not from nothing. Many witch hunters and inquisitors pursued him into those cursed heights, each hoping to bring him down. Every single one of them became prey to the still-young Heresiarch.

Within the depths of his, where the boundaries of the world blurred with those of Hell, he experimented on them while they still lived. He perverted them, twisted them, reshaped their bodies and shattered their minds. Thus were born the first No Man’s Land Siege Beasts, the first wolves of the Heresiarch.

In those early days, they were still primitive creatures. Now, with the advances of science and technology, the Heresiarch’s factories churn out new Beasts—flesh bound in riveted iron, strengthened with tubes of unholy fluids, and armed with claws and fangs of infernal steel. Fully adapted and engineered for war and slaughter in the trenches.
