dex_911 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hi guys, I have just been reading the new space marine codex, and under the Crimson Fist section it mentions that the red fists are earnt by killing a dragon with your hands and bathing your fist in it? Wasn't the old fluff that the new initiates would slit their palm and combine that with Dorn or other chapter master to share in a ritual of blood brothers? Seems to me the new fluff is kind of worse in this regard? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisarius Cawl Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 It's not new. "The Steeping" ritual has been a part of the background for many years. Helias_Tancred and dex_911 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belisarius Cawl Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I believe it started in White Dwarf #287 or #288. The article was called "Bloodied Fist: The Crimson Fist Space Marine Chapter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrick Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Did you guys see Pedro's "attaboy" from Guilliman? I almost teared up Helias_Tancred and dex_911 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verger Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I like to pretend it never happened and live in some perpetual Rogue Trader sphere where everything is good and bright and those pesky yellow clones haven't stolen our limelight yet... d36williams 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoic Raptor Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Yes, Verger, I too remember a day when the Crimson Fists were 40K's poster boys (not the Ultramarines!) and the name "Imperial Fists" hadn't even been heard yet. It was a while before that came along... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
