"Karaashi" Bombastus was an Iron Hands Dreadnought that served with the 65th Clan-Company, under the Command of Captain Ulrach Branthan and based aboard the Sisypheum.[1a] He was armed with a Powerfist and Stormbolter, Flame Cannons and a retro-fitted Missile Rack that rotated down over his rear armour plates.[1b]

As a warrior he was given to great passions and furious charges. With a temper to match the bellicose temperament of the volcano and a love of fiery destruction, he was named "Karaashi" after the volcanic peak into which Ferrus Manus's life pod had crashed. This stuck even after his interment in a Dreadnought Sarcophagus, the transition from mortal flesh to iron had only increased his aggression in battle.[1b]

Bombastus fought in the Battle of the Corollis Star.[1c]

Bombastus would later meet his final end in an action against the Iron Warriors on Iydris; he fought a duel against the Iron Warriors Dreadnought Warsmith Berossus and had the upper hand due to his relative experience fighting as a Dreadnought and Berossus's weapons lacking ammunition after fighting against the Eldar guardians of the planet. However, he was hit by a blast from Cadaras Grendel's meltagun, then pounded and crushed by Berossus's Siege Hammer.[1c]
