Morbus Metallum
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Morbus Metallum is a disease created by the Death Guard. It was created after a failed takeover of the Albarnan Sector to turn the local Jungle Worlds into Plague Factories. This plan was however thwarted by three companies of the Iron Hands and forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus.[1]
The disease was specifically designed to infect the Iron Hands. After infecting a person's skin it would attack the cybernetics to drive their Machine spirits into a mad frenzy.[1]
