Whitelion Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I read a little lexicanum, I got curious, this huge ship attracts me like Nutella: D I read around that the Galatan space marine station was 100 km large, had more firepower than an entire fleet, and could destroy planets. I have read about Phalanx that it is capable of reaching 0.4c in a short time, and it is vaguely stated that it is full of weapons of all kinds, no reference to war enterprises. What do you know about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It literally held off the chaos fleet for quite some time at the battle of Cadia in which it lost approximately 10% of its mass. We know it pre dates the imperium. We know that the Custodes gave the Imperial Fists something that can bring the phalanx back to almost the capability it had during the Horus Heresy. The commodore of the imperial fists (who in the event of the chapter master dying will take control as defacto chapter master until a new chapter master is selected)who captains the phalanx has one of his hearts removed and it is replaced with a bionic made from a piece of the phalanx.

Medjugorje Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 It has a shrine with the found hand of Dorn. (This is where Helbrecht finds its strength back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelion Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Does Dorn's hand have any special power? It has a shrine with the found hand of Dorn. (This is where Helbrecht finds its strength back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 No special powers in the regular sense. It is the Fists' holiest relic and each Chapter Master is permitted to minutely inscribe his name on the bones of the Primarch. Beyond their inspirational value, no special powers have been attributed to the bones IIRC. jeremy1391 and painting.for.my.sanity 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 It has the power of making it hard for Dorn to scratch himself now? It's just the hand of their Primarch, kept as a holy relic. Whitelion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaVolt87 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 No special powers in the regular sense.

Beyond their inspirational value, no special powers have been attributed to the bones IIRC. Yeah primarchs provoke a psychological + chemical reaction with space marines, so even if its just Dorn's hand its enough to give his sons a second wind psychologically. Probably easier for a chaplain to organize a day trip to visit the hand with a few brothers and give a ten minute pep talk than a three hour sermon to fire them up. If anything, I wonder how many other successors can come and go to see the hand or if its just a chapter master only privilege for successors.
