The Unyielding Crimson Fists
In a grim darkness, where the Imperium of Man teeters on the brink of collapse, one Space Marine Chapter stands resolute against the void: the Crimson Fists. Born from the gene-seed of Rogal Dorn, these unyielding warriors have fought for millennia to uphold the Imperium’s ideals.
Origins and History
Following the Horus Heresy, the Imperial Fists Legion was divided into four Chapters. The Crimson Fists were formed from the younger, more level-headed Marines, with Alexis Polux as their first Chapter Master. Their name originates from the ritualistic ceremony where the Chapter Master and Primarch shared blood, strengthening the bond between them.
Crusades and Campaigns
Throughout their history, the Crimson Fists have participated in numerous crusades and campaigns. One of their most notable victories was the Crusade of Righteous Liberation, where they reclaimed lost planets after the Age of Apostasy. More recently, they launched the Voltigern Crusade, destabilizing Ork Empires in the Loki Sector.
Homeworld and Recruitment
The Crimson Fists’ homeworld, Rynn’s World, was invaded by Orks in mid-M41. Despite being vastly outnumbered, the Fists held their ground, but not without significant losses. They typically recruit from the nearby Feral World of Blackwater and use the Loki Sector for training.
Chapter Organization and Assets
The Crimson Fists adhere to the Codex Astartes, with a few minor deviations. Their Chapter Master serves as the Master of the Crusade Company, which has remained at 128 Marines since the Crusade of Righteous Liberation. They have a strong fleet, including the Emperor Class Battleship Throne’s Fury, and maintain close ties with the Imperium and Inquisition.
Notable Crimson Fists
Some notable members of the Crimson Fists include:
- Chapter Master Pedro Kantor, Lord Hellblade
- Captain Alessio Cortez, Master of the Charge
- Apothecary Esteban de Dominova, Deathwatch Watch Captain
