The Grey Death

In the Warhammer 40,000 setting, the Judged are a collection of thirty Space Marine chapters that were sent into the Eye of Terror on the Abyssal Crusade. Of these, many turned to Chaos worship, including the Iron Drakes that converted to the worship of Nurgle and became the Grey Death.

Members of the Grey Death include: Brother Gluttmar. Other warbands connected to the Judged include the Deathmongers, the Flylords, Lords of Decay, Talons of Anathrax, and Vectors of Pox.

Brother Gluttmar

Brother Gluttmar, Bringer of the Seven Fungal Forests

After the Death Guard crippled their fleet, the Iron Drakes Chapter became marooned on the plague world of Anathrax in the Eye of Terror. For over a century, Plague Marines harried the stranded loyalists, always aiming to debilitate their targets and damage their wargear rather than slay them. The last time the Iron Drakes were sighted in the Imperium, they fought under the name of the Grey Death, and their new loyalties were plain to all.
