House Drudge
House Drudge is a Knight House, that resides on Death's Welcome and like the Households of Drudge and Scythe, Fervans is composed of morbid nihilists who have been foretold of their Households' destruction in battle. So when the splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Hydra invaded their world, Drudge's Knights believed their destruction was at last at hand and gladly joined the Houses of Fervans and Scythe in battling the Tyranids. The Knights of Death's Welcome take such a heavy toll on the invading Tyranids though, that Hive Fleet Hydra's Bio-ships retreat after their reserves of biomass become dangerously spent. While through their efforts Death's Welcome is saved, the World's Knight Houses are devastated and just eighteen Knights remain alive from a starting force of over four hundred.[1]
