The Ironblood Assembly emerges (Patreon)

“The Swarmlady is the Hive’s Soul, her creations are its claws and teeth, and her followers are its heart.”

The Ironblood Assembly is the conjoined forces under the command of the infamous Heretek Magna Nemeriss, serving as her industrial labor force and personal army, responsible for the manufacturing and development of the Swarm of Xeno-Mechanical horrors known as the Iron Hive.

At the heart of this enclave lies Exorsus, once a barren dead world, a bizarre anomaly found here that gave way to the creation of the Iron Hive and Nemeriss’s new abhorrent industries. On Exorsus, Magna’s most loyal and brilliant followers are indoctrinated with their teachings and given a small spark of her psychic link to the Iron Hive, further ensuring the growth of her Swarm.

The Assembly is a multifaceted organization, at the top is the Swarmlady herself, under her are the Technocrats and Priests who learn her schools of thought known as Nemerites, these individuals are both scholars and military tacticians. Nemerites command and indoctrinate the unenlightened enforcers, engineers and indentured laborers required to man the foundries and corral the horrific mechanical abominations they create.

These human masses are often weak as individuals, but when guided by the psychic link created after Nemeriss’ communion with the Hive Mind, they become a terrifying weapon, ready to do their Lady’s bidding.                                           Writing and artwork by Kabewski
