Hi Everyone! I've decided now that I have some IG, Orks, and Nids ready for playing E-A that I need some SMs. I've started a chapter of Crimson Fists. Any idea where to find background on them? How about Silver Skulls? Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Crimson Fists: - I'm not sure if they've had an Index Astartes article in WD yet; I'll have a look when I get home - I know there was loads about them in a WD around when Codex: Orks was released - From memory: The Crimson Fists are a succesor chapter of the Imperial Fists, and recently in the 40k timeline their home planet (Rynn's World iirc) was attacked by Orks... - A malfunctioning defence torpedo fired at an Ork ship hit the fortress monestry, destroying much of it, and killing many marines... - Then the remmnants of the 'Fists go round fighting a guerilla war against the Orks for years, led by Captain Cortez... - After this I think they are currently supposed to be working up to full strength, rebuilding their world and fortress.. Disclaimer: I could be wrong on some of those details, but that was the basic gist...  -As for Silver Skulls, I'm pretty sure there hasn't been much at all on them, excluding the colour schemes.... Hope that helps, Maksim! |

Basically, Stormseer is right, it wa the background published in an "index astartes" article some time ago. i can't verify right now, but maybe it has made it to one of the index astartes compilations. Athmos |

The original background was in WD 94, in what I think was the second ever 40k:RT article, called 'Skirmish on Rynn's World'. It has pretty much the same story as I described above, and has a scenario, 'Fists vs Orks- 'The Battle of Jadeberry Hill'. A few more little bits of detail from here- the Ork empire of Charadon are the invaders, led by 'Warlord Snagrod the Arch-Arsonist'. From the IA article, the Chapter Master is Pedro Kantor: "a contemporary of the famous Captain Cortez"... Much of what was in IA was printed in (UK) WD 235, in 'Bloodied Fist: The Rynn's World Incident', and there is more information on the 'Fists, the battles and more. |

Thanks AGAIN for all of the help so far guys! So... Silver Skulls - Ultramarine gene seed - Unknown Rogue Trader mention... Crimson Fists - Imperial Fists gene seed - White Dwarf, issue 94. --- article: 'Skirmish on Rynn's World' --- scenario: 'Fists vs Orks - 'The Battle of Jadeberry Hill' --- 'Eavy Metal: (which was also when the original RTB01 marines came out) has all marines with both hands red however, and they have a red stripe down the middle of their helmets as well... - White Dwarf UK, issue 234. --- back cover: Features Dave Taylor's Crimson Fists, which include a simple, but nice conversion of Captain Cortez (which looks better than the horrible new GW mini in my opinion)... - White Dwarf UK, issue 235. --- article: 'Bloodied Fist: The Rynn's World Incident' --- article: 'Fists, the battles and more' - White Dwarf, issue 288. Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |
