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.

There was an Index Astartes article about the Crimson Fists in the (UK) WD288. They also starred in the WH40K Rogue Trader introductory scenario found in the rulebook.

About Silver Skulls there is no fluff I know of.  :(  Except the one bit I made myself for Net Epic.  :;):

I seem to recall that the Silver Skulls were descended from Ultramarine gene-seed.  It's not much, bit it's something.

That's true and according to GW fluff they are a Codex chapter. Plus I just recovered another tidbit. In the Index Astartes article about the creation of a Space Marine there is a piece of fluff about an inquisitor making a routine purity check to the Silver Skulls and the name of their homeworld is mentioned in the text: Varsavia.

I seem to remember a painting article a while ago, where someone in WD was collecting a Crimson Fist force and listed a bit of background. But, all that I can remember is that the average trooper had a single fist in crimson, the the officers and higher ranks had both crimson.

I just recalled that there is a bit of Crimson fists fluff in the Fluff Bible. I hope you have it, if not then it's been uploaded to epica yahoogroup under the fluff directory in the files section a while ago.

Wasn't the crimson fist some thing to do with the pain glove Rogal Dorn used?

Nope.
It's related with the ritual of cutting palms of the new recruits and dorn's hands and mixing the blood.

The back cover of (UK) WD 234 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 imo)... and as noted by CS, only the officers have two fists red- all the normal troops leave the right hand blue.

A look back at 'Eavy Metal from WD 94 (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... guess its up to you to decide what guide you want to follow!  :;):

I think you misinterpreted me a bit there Maksim- the second bit was just my description of the 'Bloodied Fist' article, not a seperate one... :;):

Have you managed to track down any of the WDs etc which have been mentioned?

Hi Stormseer,

No. I wish...

Of course, I haven't asked L-4 for xeroxes yet either...

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
