The Rust Corps is a warband within the Iron Warriors Legion of Warhammer 40,000, known for their expertise in siege warfare and fortifications. Originating as a splinter faction, they embrace decay and corrosion, with rusted armor and vehicles symbolizing their alignment with Chaos, possibly favoring Nurgle, the Chaos God of decay. Led by a brutal Warsmith and allied with the Dark Mechanicum, they excel in prolonged sieges, psychological warfare, and constructing nightmarish fortresses. Notable campaigns like the Siege of Plaguehold and the Iron Rot Crusade highlight their relentless assault tactics and the devastating aftermath they leave in their wake.
