They lived near Medusa so interrogation of the humans that dared to colonize one of their worlds led to them learning about Ferrus Manus, and that necrodermis can graft to human tissue, so they decided to go for their own take on biotransference, or at least hybridization in such a way they don't render themselves vulnerable to the myriad threats of the grimdark future.

40k already exceeds the bounds of the owner of the IP. It has elevated itself into something like Pepe (the frog meme). GW, like Matt Furie, will be overshadowed by it. And with the fandom and people like Arch holding the torch steady, I think the grimdark universe still has a bright future.

[@daywither927]

The other week, I was looking at a wiki to see what other info is there about Barbarus besides what I read in a novel. And I was flabbergasted by the fact that it's apparently not classified as a death world. The planet where virtually everything that grows there is poisonous, where the air itself gets too toxic even for primarchs if you travel high enough, plus during nighttime the air turns toxic even in valleys, and the planet was infested with some sentient xeno chaos creatures that hunted humans for the lulz, until Mortarion exterminated them. That was not deadly enough, I suppose.
