Lord Krios the Siegebreaker: Commander of The Doomed Warband

Lord Krios the Siegebreaker

Poliorkitikos Krios, known as the Siegebreaker, is a Chaos Terminator Lord of The Doomed, a custom warband formed from renegades and Word Bearers. Once a proud Iron Warrior, Krios turned from his Legion’s ranks and joined The Doomed, a warband driven by dark zealotry and apocalyptic ideals. The warband’s initial reliance on ritualistic fanaticism faltered in protracted engagements, leading to Krios’s rapid ascension through the command structure. With his unmatched expertise in siege warfare and attrition, Krios filled a critical void, becoming both a pragmatic tactician and an unstoppable battlefield force.

The Doomed Warband

The Doomed warband, with roots in the Word Bearers, combines religious fervor with the cold, calculated brutality of renegades like Krios. While the Word Bearers dominate the warband’s spiritual doctrine, Krios has reshaped their approach to warfare, infusing it with Iron Warrior siegecraft and precision. This duality of unholy zeal and mechanical efficiency has transformed The Doomed into a deadly force capable of overwhelming enemies through sheer perseverance and devastating tactics. Krios’s presence represents a perfect fusion of the Word Bearers’ dogma and the Iron Warriors’ merciless discipline, making The Doomed a warband feared for both its faith and force.

Wargear of the Siegebreaker

Lord Krios dons indomitus-pattern Terminator armor salvaged from the remains of an Imperial Fist captain, an ironic and calculated choice for a former Iron Warrior. Armed with a combi-melta equipped with self-calibrating combat optics, Krios can eliminate armored targets with pinpoint accuracy, his split ocular nerve enhancing his reaction time. His most fearsome weapon is the Bane of Bulwarks, a sonic thunderhammer capable of delivering devastating impacts. The hammer’s sheer force is so immense that Krios had to retrofit his powerfist to absorb the kinetic backlash, ensuring the weapon doesn’t harm its wielder as it crushes even the most resilient fortifications or foes.

Leadership and Legacy

In times of war, Krios is elevated to the rank of Lord Commander, leading The Doomed in brutal campaigns of attrition and siegecraft. As a Terminator Lord, he is often seen at the forefront of the battle, using his armor and devastating wargear to break enemy lines and morale. Outside of warfare, Krios serves as the “Lord of Siege,” a title reflecting his mastery of strategy and his role on the warband’s council. His dual nature as both a calculating tactician and an unrelenting warrior embodies the warband’s grim philosophy, securing his legacy as a pivotal figure in The Doomed’s evolution and their endless crusade in the name of Chaos.
