Mutant Derivative: Bloodghast

• The Bloodghast are an unfortunate consequence of spending 82 years steeped in warp energies.  Formerly loyal citizens of the Imperium, the Glimmerheim has had a deteriorating affect on their minds, to the point that they've effectively devolved into cannibal abominations.  At some point their skin sloughs away and their minds leave them entirely, and all that remains is insensate rage and a terrible hunger for flesh.

Heretic allegiances and orders of battle remain unknown.
