Y'know, it's easy to say that the imperial fists are bread and butter, and to call that boring, but at the end of the day, you like bread and butter, don't you? And life would be worse if you didn't have bread and butter.
"get in losers were making the legion again" genuinely made me belly laugh. also i love the idea of the pain glove impies have always been my favourite chapter because of many reasons but the pain glove is one, the way they reflect via pain to clear their mind and how the black templars are an expression of their rage untempered by the usual self flagellation and clearing the mind. i think theres a lot to them, like more than there is to chapters with gimicks like the white scars or raven guard, like waht you see is waht you get with them but the imperial fists have personality that runs deeper not just sneaky bois or mongol boys. like the night lords in a way with the rabbit hole of their personality and lore.
Butter on toast is a perfect metaphor. It’s simplicity is its greatest strength. Butter on toast can be boring at times but when you have good bread and good butter it’s the best thing ever. Also everyone gets that craving every once in awhile where that’s all you want to eat
I always liked these pragmatic, logical chapters like Imperial fists, Iron warriors or Ultrabois over these over the top chapters with crazy powers/flaws like vampires of Blood angels or Space Wolves. Dorn is the man.
Rogal Dorn, and The Imperial Fists can be summed up in one phrase: "I am fortifying this position." Also imagine if Perty and Dorn got along, the "Iron Fist Protocol" would be nigh unstoppable, and DEFINITELY unbreakable.
They also recruit from Necromunda, and a few other Segmentum Solar hive world's. They seem to rely on drawing from the underhive gangs of hive worlds for their novitiates.

One of the problems with the last wall protocol is who is the ultimate commander. I always thought that Dornian stock would be honest enough to let the best chapter master command, unfortunately they have to have a dick measuring contest because they are still human and ego.
Mr Bones, the pain glove thing has almost definitely been inspired (as so much has in 40k - Lionel Johnson the poet etc.) from a real life thing. It's an Amazonian (I believe male-only) coming-of-age ritual, where boys must don a grass glove with fire ants (or similar) weaved into the fibres, I believe 15 or 20 times for an extended period without relenting, until they can be called a man in the tribe. Cool as f***
@@DW_R Honestly yes. Have you ever heard of the YT channel Brave Wilderness? This guy there stung himself with one of those! He did it to compare with other stings from other insects... now that is dedication!
I love the shield walls they do. Just the most enormous ceramite shields interlocked with a small port for a Bolter. "Advance, interlock shields, fire!" Imperial Fists are Rome. Thats why theyre good at building, logistics and defense. They are provokers like Rome too. They build up enormous military presence in strong military positions on the contested parts of the borders. Then they tell the others theyre acting "aggressively".
The story of the dark angel and imperial fist duel doesn't make sense because both champions did the exact same thing. Both of them had one specific strategy in mind and did not waiver from their tactic. The difference is that one strategy happened to work out better than the other. The lesson of you should have changed your tactic still works, but it's weird to use the dark angel as an example of what to do when he didn't change his tactic either.
great video, but you missed that they scrimshaw bones, notably dorn's hand and the feast of blades where they get all the sub-chapters to do civil war reenactments, where the winner gets a sword
So you could say that Perturabo is an irin bar, unyielding but brittle, and Dorn is like a piece of rebar. Sturdy, but eith enough give to avoid breaking.
"And to be honest, I think it's perfect for them." **video starts buffering.** I have been having massive buffering issues for 2 days and I am already very tired of them.
Love the Imperial Fists. Stubborn siegemasters who intentionally punish themselves whose primary literally remade Terra to be as impregnable as possible. I remember at a tournament I faced off against an imperial fist player who had three vindicators. He blasted me off the board. I had so much fun.
Your videos are becoming my favourite Warhammer videos , hope to see you in the big channel league one day ! Are you gonna do a video after finishing the legions about the famous successor chapters like the black templars or flesh teaters?
1-1, Iron Warriors barely breached the Imperial palace with all the remaining traitors by their side before leaving. The Imperial fists, who were utterly decimated taking the largest amount of losses in terms of marines (not percentage wise) of all the loyalist legions, got bodied at the Iron Cage. So, 1-1.
@@yerbritishboiakaanom3790 To add on, Imperial Fists are still relevant in 40K, so it's really 2-1 if you think about it For the record, I play Iron Warriors, that's how I know they don't matter
Dorm can be very stubborn also. When he was told about Horus he didn’t believe it and was going to kill I think Locan until it was confirmed that Horus did betray the imperium
Also, he did organize his legion which was best in defense, just go on the offense against Perturabo, and almost wiped out the chapter.. But we don't talk about that.. 😊
I have to disagree hard with the Imperial Fists being dull. I get that this is what you see first when looking at them and probably even for a long time. But once you really get into them, you see to start seeing so much more. I dont feel like writing up an exploration of them here right now though. In short, they are about family, respect, trust, humanity, overcoming your weaknesses and trying your best.

The Tor Garadon model is such an absolute unit of a figure. I got one for my Imperial Fist army, but I ended up swapping out his head for an appropriate captain's gravis armor helmet. He's also not *really* Tor Garadon in my army, but rather an 'OC-Do-Not-Steal' named Aurelius *(I'm not bothered that the name is unoriginal, I'm sticking to my guns).*
I always felt like the name "imperial fists" was kind of funny and silly. Like, imperial is fine, that's what they are, but then the word "fists" just sounds like something an overly aggressive teenager would think of to sound tough. I mean I get it, you punch with your fists, I understand it makes sense. But couldn't they come up with something a little more.... creative or meaningful? Idk that's just a rant that has bugged me since I became enthralled in the WH universe. I kind of find rogal to be somehow both dull but impossibly interesting. It's a contradiction that I'm still sorting through. You can always count on him to do the "angry overly stern father" thing as if he walks around with his hand up beside his head as if he's just waiting to backhand somebody for not making their bed properly. But he's also brilliant and stoic and incredibly artful and wise. Sometimes I think I like him among my favorite primarchs and then he will do something that just makes me go "seriously?". That said he is a legit badass and amazing at what he does, and as a more loyalist fan I acknowledge that he is the only person who could have achieved even a measure of what he did on Terra against the traitors. And last thing, he is the gene father of sigismund, and that in itself gives him major points. Sigi is a beast and an interesting person. Also Alexis pollux. Love that guy
The Fists are cool, but the Black Templars is where it's at. I have a decent force of BT's, around 4000 points right now (including 5 x Primaris Dreadnoughts) I am reaaaaaallly hoping they do a Primaris, Crusader Land Raider for tenth. I think we're just going to be using the older kits though, as they are selling like hot cakes right now, due to transports being good again. I need to get 1 x for my BT's, then cram it full of Crusader squads, and maybe some swords bro's. How is your BT army looking? I still need to paint mine TBh as have been working on a scheme. I have a lot of minis for them though, just still boxed. I'm actually focussing more on my Nids and Orks right now. I have a Hivefleet Kraken splinter fleet (I'm going to call them Hive fleet Asmodeus or Hive fleet Paimon or something... something from the Ars Goetia, as they have a much deeper red chitin, so more daemonic in appearance)... and my orks are going to be a fully mechanized force. Not really a speed waaargh, but definitely a lot of repurposed Tech... I'm painting them as Death Skulls, as these guys are known to loot tech from other races. PS: I hope you do a series on Successor chapters next. This is where the flavour is. Flesh Tearers, Crimson fists and Black Templars... nuff said.
I feel like I'd enjoy you playing a Warhammer 40k game with AdumPlaze. You and Scoot specifically would bounce beautifully off each-other. Might get a little gay along the way, but that is a sacrifice you're willing to make.
I'd say the fists are more like a pile of sticks, rocks and string. Simple, but capable of being used creativily, but not good at anything in anything but adaptability. They can be turned into complex machines. They also can be turned into walls, and the Fists like walls.
If ultramarines are vanilla ice cream, imperial fists are unflavored ice cream. Which is perhaps why they have some of the most flavorful successor chapters, and I'm totally not just saying that because one of my homebrew chapters is IF descended.
it's so goofy like, in melee right now he's strength 12, but gets +1 to wound against vehicles, which means he's wounding on 2+ against knights, which is hilarious
The flaws in the gene seed are they can't spit acid and also can't enter suspended animation and if they're from a particular chapter there's a chance they'll enter a state of super depressed ptsd that few ever come out of.
The Pain Glove isn't Warhammery at all except for the fact that it's a prime example of a homage being so on the nose it looks like plagiarism from the Dune series. This wouldn't be so bad if GW wasn't also SUPER ANAL about copyright infringement. I think it's hypocritical as hell to straight up steal elements from other settings wholesale and then turn around and shut down fan projects and give everything stupid trademarkable names like Leagues of Votann and Orruks and shit.
That honor duel seems like the roles should have been reversed. Using the shield and waiting for the other guy to tire himself out seems like something an Imperial Fist would do.
I feel bad for saying this, but when I see Imperial Fists with red shoulder outlining/chest icon, it makes me think of them as warriors fighting for Ronald McDonald. They look like a fast food version of SM, when they have silver, it looks cool.
Have played Imperial Fists for 30 years now. They are a great balanced chapter. Sadly they get over looked by GW all the time. I will say they look great on the game table.
When did the honor duel take place was sigismund not around back then also Lysander is supposed to be a pretty big badass he's the first company captain and he at one point was the optimal candidate for chapter master but he refused

I think we're just going to be using the older kits though, as they are selling like hot cakes right now, due to transports being good again. I need to get 1 x for my BT's, then cram it full of Crusader squads, and maybe some swords bro's.
How is your BT army looking? I still need to paint mine TBh as have been working on a scheme. I have a lot of minis for them though, just still boxed. I'm actually focussing more on my Nids and Orks right now. I have a Hivefleet Kraken splinter fleet (I'm going to call them Hive fleet Asmodeus or Hive fleet Paimon or something... something from the Ars Goetia, as they have a much deeper red chitin, so more daemonic in appearance)...
and my orks are going to be a fully mechanized force. Not really a speed waaargh, but definitely a lot of repurposed Tech... I'm painting them as Death Skulls, as these guys are known to loot tech from other races.
PS:
I hope you do a series on Successor chapters next. This is where the flavour is. Flesh Tearers, Crimson fists and Black Templars... nuff said.
I love Rogal Dorn, But I am hype for World eaters
I swear i always get them mixed up with the word bearers
I feel like I'd enjoy you playing a Warhammer 40k game with AdumPlaze. You and Scoot specifically would bounce beautifully off each-other. Might get a little gay along the way, but that is a sacrifice you're willing to make.
So the black Templars are butter on toast but you crank it up to 11 and gave it a Power sword and now it screams
i love the black templars.
Your bulwark of knowledge is found inadequate by Rogal
Nah, they're not the butter on toast. They are the crust.
I'd say the fists are more like a pile of sticks, rocks and string. Simple, but capable of being used creativily, but not good at anything in anything but adaptability. They can be turned into complex machines. They also can be turned into walls, and the Fists like walls.
If ultramarines are vanilla ice cream, imperial fists are unflavored ice cream. Which is perhaps why they have some of the most flavorful successor chapters, and I'm totally not just saying that because one of my homebrew chapters is IF descended.
“He has the imperial fist”
“Perturabo is super unbending”
Well that’s because iron doesn’t bend.
The other organ is the Hibermembrane as far as I can remember my second 40k book titled "Space Marine" from around 1994-7? ;)
as a fellow black templars player, accept this like and follow
Did you say times 3? And my telemons only get a times 2 whack
it's so goofy
like, in melee right now he's strength 12, but gets +1 to wound against vehicles, which means he's wounding on 2+ against knights, which is hilarious
The flaws in the gene seed are they can't spit acid and also can't enter suspended animation and if they're from a particular chapter there's a chance they'll enter a state of super depressed ptsd that few ever come out of.
That thumbnail came straight from the Iron Warriors Warpsmith gang
I DID know what tren was before this video. You might literally say I'm your biggest fan.
And whatever happens next is all a blur
But you remember "fist" can be a verb
love your vids by the way been into 40k since start but alot of this also stated from dawn of war mods
It's dang good butter though
Can we get a look at your armies ? That would be a cool video
The Pain Glove isn't Warhammery at all except for the fact that it's a prime example of a homage being so on the nose it looks like plagiarism from the Dune series. This wouldn't be so bad if GW wasn't also SUPER ANAL about copyright infringement. I think it's hypocritical as hell to straight up steal elements from other settings wholesale and then turn around and shut down fan projects and give everything stupid trademarkable names like Leagues of Votann and Orruks and shit.
My lemons look good in the video 🍋
They're not terribly popular because they're disciplined and aren't flamboyant/flagrantly stupid.
You can never talk about the Imperial First without talking about the Black Templars. FOR THE EMP.....!
Bold to call a chapter which moves around in a gigantic death star space fortress boring.
I’d say they’re more like butter on grilled cheese you know
And more yellow like cheese
You know
Yet another great video. Thanks for the great content. Keep up the good work.
That honor duel seems like the roles should have been reversed. Using the shield and waiting for the other guy to tire himself out seems like something an Imperial Fist would do.
I think the fists would be a spear and shield.
your vidoes are fantastic sir! thank you so much for the awesome content :)
*black templar noises intensifies*
All praise the magic pain glove
Just realised the sus-an membrane, which the IF lack, is short for suspended animation membrane
I feel bad for saying this, but when I see Imperial Fists with red shoulder outlining/chest icon, it makes me think of them as warriors fighting for Ronald McDonald. They look like a fast food version of SM, when they have silver, it looks cool.
Alexus fuckin pollux though
Have played Imperial Fists for 30 years now. They are a great balanced chapter. Sadly they get over looked by GW all the time. I will say they look great on the game table.
My tonka truck boys!
Dude, your like a if majorkill ausi and Norway arch warhammer had a baby
When did the honor duel take place was sigismund not around back then also Lysander is supposed to be a pretty big badass he's the first company captain and he at one point was the optimal candidate for chapter master but he refused
😂 the Black Templars are a Imperial fist successors! WTF?
The fists basically put all the freaks into one chapter
Those 2 organs they leave out, its not a mutation.
