Hell's Last Duke was a Space Hulk.[1]

History

In 931.M38, the Space Hulk ploughed into the surface of Bereguel Tertia, causing an extinction-level event. Many of the world's most valuable dignitaries saved themselves by taking to underground bunkers as the conglomerate nightmare of the space hulk burnt through the atmosphere. Though they believed themselves to have escaped the worst of the disaster, the dignitaries soon learnt otherwise when the Chaos Space Marines of the Purge emerged from the heart of the hulk and began to hunt them down.[1]

The Space Marines of the Fire Lords Chapter received the distress call and diverted their crusade to make planetfall upon Bereguel. Their Siegebreaker Cohorts bored holes into the rockcrete of the hulk, leading a massed assault right into the dark chamber that served as its bridge. A close-quarters battle broke out, and though the Fire Lords lost several of their Centurions in the process, the grisly death of the Chaos Space Marine Lord Doluthec ensured the warband was left leaderless and eventually defeated.[1]
