Gland Warriors

Gland Warriors, also known as Homo sapiens auctus glandulae, are a specialized, genetically modified force of Imperial Guardsmen originally designed to battle the Tyranids. Despite being Human originally, due to the nature of their modifications they are now generally classified as Abhumans by the Imperium at large. Gland Warriors have additional organs which enhance their combat abilities, giving them increased muscle mass, aggression, pain tolerance, and immunity to many lethal toxins. However, these enhancements often result in them being mentally unstable. The glands implanted into these warriors contain the Combat Drugs known as ‘Slaught, Frenzon and Spur, which enhance their capabilities in combat, though often at a price. Indeed, Gland Warriors, like any other group who utilize such potent drugs – such as Penal Legions.
