Description:

The Crimson Fists is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter and a Second Founding Successor Chapter of the Imperial Fists Legion. The Crimson Fists until recently was a Chapter on the edge of extinction, its fortress-monastery destroyed and its numbers all but annihilated when the Ork WAAAGH! Snagrod descended on the Loki Sector of Segmentum Tempestus and its Chapter homeworld of Rynn's World in 989.M41. Yet the Crimson Fists fought on, bearing the blows of a cruel fate with a stoicism that has become legend across the Imperium. Even amongst the elite ranks of the Space Marines, the remaining Crimson Fists are held as warriors without peer, forged in the fire of the most terrible and hopeless battles. As one would expect of successors to the Imperial Fists, the Crimson Fists are steadfast and stubborn warriors, reluctant to yield so long as victory is possible. Nonetheless, the Chapter's brush with annihilation has tempered this ardour with grim reality. The Crimson Fists' future lies with a handful of Space Marines, their lives to be expended for greater rewards than the salving of personal pride. Now the battle-brothers of the Crimson Fists fight for more than the Emperor of Mankind, more than honour and renown. They fight so that their Chapter may survive, and one day regain its former glories. Though they originated as a fleet-based Chapter, the Crimson Fists have become well-established as defenders of the Loki Sector. There are countless Ork empires active in the region, which represent an ever-present threat to the Imperium's interests. Over time, the Crimson Fists have become particularly adept at combating these savage xenos, though they have also engaged in countless battles against a broad spectrum of opponents across the span of the galaxy. As successors of the Imperial Fists, they proudly maintain the legacy of Rogal Dorn while also holding true to the teachings of the Codex Astartes. In recent years, the Chapter has suffered severe losses following the Battle of Rynn's World at the hands of the Greenskins of WAAAGH! Snagrod and the subsequent massive daemonic incursions during the Warp Storms that followed the formation of the Great Rift in 999.M41. The Crimson Fists found themselves clinging precariously close to existence. The Crimson Fists were successful in halting this incursion, though their stubbornness in the face of overwhelming odds cost them greatly. When the forces of the Indomitus Crusade entered orbit above Rynn's World, they brought more than just reinforcements to the Crimson Fists -- they brought a future and not a small degree of hope. From Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl's freighter-hulk Zar-Quaesitor, a new generation of Crimson Fists -- the Primaris Space Marines -- joined the fray. Their strength renewed, the Crimson Fists now fight to overthrow xenos despots and tyrants.
