This is the best chapter that exists, the original poster boys.

>>96686759>best chapter>repeatedly raped by orks into submission>even parent chapter got wiped out, twice
>>96687081It doesn't do anything anything other than go to the rubbish dump, the same fate as every other giant hand worn by a sports fan.
anti 40k incels gtfo my board
>>96686759Correct
>>96687123Those who do not mourn their losses do not deserve to honor their victories. A chapterwith a gajillion relics non codex compliant mega buffs and 17 super named characters that never gets their teeth kicked will always be objetivly inferior to one that comes out of nearly impossible odds and wins through sheer grit in the harshest of battles. This makes the crimson fists the best chapter and space wolves fanboys literally subhuman
>>96687081Take stuff out of your megaton powered oven without burning yourself, of course
>>96687081>what does the megaton powered hand do if you already have a gun?Melee attack is always good if an enemy survives the shots.
>>96686759Never been big on the lore but without a doubt the best colour scheme and I like the Conquistador references.
>>96688476>but without a doubt the best colour schemeAmen
>>96688517
>>96688522
>>96688517I like it when people lean into the chapter schemes anyway. But CF are my favourite. Mentors and Lamenters, Flesh Tearers too but these are my guys
>>96688517>>96688522>>96688531>wasnt in the game at launchanother reason SM2 is a dumpster fire paraded as "good"
>>96688604To be fair, the chapter badge is just the Imperial Fists badge but with different colors.

They have some good elements, it just sucks that they're Spanish.

>>96686759Objectively correct>>96687123Marines are supposed to be massacred and almost lose until they "win", even if only a moral victory. It's the manly appeal of Omaha Beach or Thermopylae.Women and casuals like you don't get it.
>blew up their own fortress monasteryHas any chapter since surpassed their incompetence? Hard mode: not chaostards.
>>96690318Wrong.
>>96690584Space Marines are asexual and physically cannot get erections. Do all those texters want floppy grey inverted cock?
>>96686759A british company making a spanish inspired chapter the posters boys of their franchise, even if for just a few seconds, feels like a glitch in the matrix.
>>96690745It probably made more sense in the context of the late 80s, the origins of 40k, and Spain in british pop culture>2000AD comics - Nemesis the Warlock - Torquemada >Spanish Inquisition - the Inquisition>Spanish Empire - the Imperium>Spanish conquistadors - imperial marines>Spanish flag uses red and yellow>Spain becoming a democracy in the 80s and electing a social democrat government being a significant event in geopolitics of the era>The logo of said left wing party is a fist holding a red roseIMO somehow all the above was mixed into spanish imperial marines using a yellow and red fist iconOf course, it was too obviously political (like the faux french nun gunning down a rainbow warrior in the RT rulebook, which is based in another infamous real incident) and they were shortly replaced by the more politically correct Ultramarines for the blue marines role in marketing. Just part of GW's transition from 80s punk to 90s corporate culture.
>>96690652>physically cannot get erections.In fact, they can, but only because they want to, not because of sexual desire.
>>96690991>and they were shortly replaced by the more politically correct Ultramarines for the blue marines role in marketing.They were first replaced by Black Templars.
>>96690991>faux french nun gunning down a rainbow warrior in the RT rulebook, which is based in another infamous real incidentFor the anons who don't know about it:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Rainbow_WarriorThis is why Sororitas use a fleur the lys, btw
>>96687659I agree with you but the Lamenters a bad example because one-note and with no personality besides being unlucky.They have reverse plot armour, which is boring.
>>96691060Wrong. BT didn't became a thing until 3rd ed in 1998, while UM were already being featured in Space Crusade and had their own 2e codex.
I can't find pictures of it but there was a CF army in a few 00's era White Dwarf battle reports that had desert/badlands bases. I like the Prussian blue armor. >>96687123Weren't they kinda hinting at a shadow war within the imperium at that time? The Crimson Fist's fortress monastary was wrecked by a seemingly stray ork missile hitting the armory, unknown snipers picked off all the Celestial Lions' apothecaries, etc.
>>96691120>The Crimson Fist's fortress monastary was wrecked by a seemingly stray ork missile hitting the armoryNo, it was one of their own CF anti ship missiles that turned around to hit a weak spot, and triggered a chain reaction.There's no canon explanation about why it happened. But in there's a fan theory based in the CF novels:>Before the battle, a CF scout was going to be servitorized for incompetence and dissobeyign orders. >What if he was used as the guidance system of the missile and went back in revenge
>>96691036No, they're impotent. Their dicks sit limp and still.
>>96687081It's a gay sex thing.
>>96691235anon, a space marine controls all parts of his body to perfection.
>>96687659>pedo artist
>>96690340Amen.
the best chapter is the fire hawks and legion of the damned
>>96691072No wonder it was taken down, a true frenchman would suck the rainbow's dick and then let an entire Ork waaagh settle in his city.
>>96687123Believe it or not, there was a time when Marines were allowed to lose and be portrayed getting beaten. Not so much anymore with the whole obssesion with "HIS ANGELS!!!!" and all that crap.

>>96691635Imperial Fists are a solid foundation for successor chapters.They're a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, but they don't excel at anything other than siege warfare and defenses.
>>96691622In the 10e trailer they get bodied and in the Pariah Nexus show it is revealed that the ones of 9e died at the end tho

>>96686759I do like em.
I don't like fakers acting like they "like" crimson fists when in reality they know the bare minimum about them beyond a few cliff notes they got from a youtuber
>>96690652>Space Marines are asexual and physically cannot get erectionsCite a source without headcanon or hyperbole.
>>96694845
>>96691635Their narrative is that they’re all trying to live up to dorn’s legacy, the imperial fists themselves is that they’re stuck in this state of stagnation trying to uphold that legacy and not adapting well to the current needs of the imperium. In a way they contribute to that decay themselves The crimson fists are awesome because they’re a chapter that always gets back up, great poster boys for the default heroes The black Templars are the ideals of the IF but flipped and extreme
>>96688714Successor chapters that are just the original 1st founding chapter but with a different (yet appropriate) color scheme and slightly different personality are peak SOVL
>>96694845eh, everyone's gotta start somewhere. it's when they never try to read any more at all that you know they're lame.
>>96691786>and in the Pariah Nexus show it is revealed that the ones of 9e died at the end thoThat's what happened in the book that came out with Indomitus, only one lieutenant survived to get help and everyone else died fighting
>>96695823So would a further evolved successor chapter of the Crimson Fists be Super Soul Saiyan 2? How far can the SOVL train climb?
>>96695861No, successors of successors are cringe.You can split off from a successor chapter to form a new chapter, but you're still a successor of whatever primarch you share the geneseed of.
>>96695865Well yeah, obviously they still share the same genetic origin, I didn't mean that suddenly they were Sanguinius' kids or something lol.
>>96695873I mean in the sense that a Black Templars successor chapter that acts like BTs but aren't BTs is gay. They should just be Fists successors who straddle the line between the wall autism and crusadery parts of the original legion, or whatever.Successors should be variations of the 1st founding chapter's culture, not a derivative of a derivative.
>>96695889Makes me wonder what would happen if a group of BTs actually finished their Crusade, perhaps by finding or conquering a planet which was obviously going to be vital to the Imperium going forward, or too dangerous to go unsupervised. The sort of place you wouldn't just leave to the Guard for defense, but under normal circumstances might found a Chapter to defend in the usual way. Might those BTs simply petition Terra become their own Chapter, since to officially return to the main body would violate the numeric limits on Chapters? And to avoid the risk of leaving the location unguarded by waiting the 100 years or so it takes to found a new Chapter?
>>96695889most of them are, i don't understand the complaint
>>96686759Yeah they're pretty rad. Lately I've been pondering making a Crimson Fists kill team out of a box of HH beakies and some bits, I guess this thread is a sign from the primarch that I should go for it!
>>96702222Checked. Pretty tasty pic too
>>96695823my Retributor Astartes cosplay in SM2 just uses IF heraldry in gold on administratum grey>they released beak helmets>made the first company beak boy from the psyker incidentIs there a single chapter that looks bad with a Mk VI Corvus helm in white?
>>96691120>>96691161Its actually just a regular missile malfunction no shady shit going on. I personally think it was meant to showcase that shit happens in war and that friendly fire incidents and malfunctions are more common than you might think because it would be stupid if there was some strange reason or sabotage everytime a missile misses goes off too early or turns out to be a dud, IRL missiles on average fuck up 10-15% of the time.
>>96686759Is Pedro mexican or what
>>96691635IF dont exist anymore they all got replace lmao
>>96704635He is spaniard unless you are a burger and think that Europe is formed by England, Germany, Paris and Rome.
>>96691635The true HH IF are their chapters.
>>96691548Hammers of Dorn scheme looks so fucking manly.
>>96705483>SpaniardEven better
>>96704529>because it would be stupid if there was some strange reason or sabotage everytime a missile misses goes off too early or turns out to be a dud.anon, I know it sounds crazy, but I'm sure chaos did it.

>>96686759best chapter, based and beloved.
>>96687081Why do some modern-day soldiers still carry knives when they have guns?
>>96715971because you can cut rope and open packages with it
>>96686759For palming the heads of creatures with larger than human cranial circumference, and crushing them like an overripe tomato, then punching a hole in a tank; it also has some weird space-tech shit going on where it's got a sort of built-in matter disruptor, which allows it to punch holes through concrete and armoured vehicles; conceivably, you could open any door, or punch anything to death with such a thing.It's as much a statement of authority as a weapon; also, Crimson FISTS, so it's sorta heraldric and thematically consistent.
>>96704635If he was mexican Estalia would exists as a planet in 40K and he would be seething about it 24/7
When painting Crimson Fists who is supposed to get one red fist and who is supposed to get two?
>>96716526Everyone but veterans have one red fist.
>>96717067Mainly I ask because I want to have a tactical sergeant with a power fist but the power fist arm seems to be for the right arm while non-vets seem to just have the left fist painted red, and it just feels wrong to not have the power fist be painted crimson. I'm probably thinking about it too much and should just give the sergeant two crimson hands.
>>96717329>sergeant.Why don't you just make him a veteran sergeant?
>>96718331Because he's the sergeant of a tactical squad. I also plan to have a veteran squad though.This dudes >>96710662 Crimson Fists look rad as fuck and it looks like all his tactical sergeants have both their fists red, so I think it'll be the way to go.
>>96710584Nice
>>96719008In 3rd/4th (and probably later, I dont know) the sergeant of tactical/assault/devastator squads needed to be upgraded to a veteran sergeant to take wargear such as power fists (and power swords, plasma pistols, etc). Just a "sergeant" only had chainsword and bolt pistol.Veteran squads had a veteran sergeant from the start, obviously.
>>96691548Is it STILL all just shartmaris? I thought at least modders would have put proper Marines in by now, all the different armours in the game use the same body model and animation rig.
>>96710662Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng fuck it's so classic. I don't know what it is about Crimson Fists I like because I think Pissbois are garbage and their fluff isn't particularly awesome or unique, but ever since I read a WD battle report as a kid with an army that this one reminds me of I've really liked 'em.
>>96721882>all the different armours in the game use the same body model and animation rig.All the firstborn have died, long live the primaris!
>>96690340That's not Robute
>>96691725>>96691786Didn't they retake the planet shortly afterwards? Same with Pariah Nexus, isn't that Salamander going to rip the necrons a new asshole?
