And the first Giga Mary Sue, rendering the creation of the Primarchs irrelevant because of his plot armor. Possibly one of the biggest mistakes in the entirety of GW fiction.
@@andrewbakescakes9684So just because a non-Primarch manages to outmanouever Perturabo at Phall and nearly defeating him makes him a Mary Sue? What is Abbadon then? The man has Angron effectively under his command , even if he can only point him into one direction.
Yes, it does. Why create the Primarchs if an Astartes can defeat one so easily? Phall (and Pluto) felt very unearned and very unbelievable, and this is the very heart of Mary Sue-ism. Originally, there was no Battle of Phall. The IF went to the wrong place and were stuck in Warp Storms. But John "I write terribly" French is a self-proclaimed IF fanboi, and he couldn't have his precious IF do nothing all Heresy. Battle of Pluto is also his. Notice in both the IF wins are due to some very out-of-character moments on the part of the traitor Primarchs? Like, he made them into idiot Saturday morning cartoon villains just to give his IF the win. Mary Sue-ism. And if I need to explain how/why Abaddon can control Angron, then I am not sure you understand much about Chaos in the setting. Not to label you or anything, but this is typical of IF fanbois who are all "hurr durr loyalty to da Emprah for no reason", like Dorn. Dorn is the worst Primarch, mostly due to the large amounts of retconning they have done to try to salvage his "character". Basically, Angron is beholden to the will of Khorne. Khorne is one of the Chaos gods. Abaddon is the champion of Chaos Undivided. This includes Khorne. Khorne can force Angron to "follow" Abaddon and will do so if it benefits Khorne. I guess there could be rituals of binding/summoning and other stuff involved too.
@@andrewbakescakes9684 Originally there was no battle of Phall? You do know that it is GW that directs the storyline and that the writers are in charge of the details. And what should have Phall been then? A completely one sided victory for the IWs? Against an enemy with equal numbers , more supplies , smaller and more manouvreable ships and above all , the legion best at void warfare in charge of it? If it was one sided it would have been bullshit and make Polux and others complete idiots and make the Dantioch-Polux friend ship impossible. Not to mention that Perty though he was facing Sigismund , so he made an error (OMG how is this possible that Perty made a mistake etc , etc,). This battle has been in depth analysed by the various subreddits by both IF and IW fans and came to an understanding that IW pyrrhic victory was the most fair conclusion. You are pretty much alone in your wacky opinion. As for Pluto , wasnt Alphariuses trait arrogance , did he not think he was better than others and that his way of warfare never fails. That is a continous theme with traitor primarchs isnt it ? They hate the Emperor for being arrogant while also thinking they are superior than their brothers and the rest of humanity. Look where that got them. As for the whole Abbadon thing , the fact that in Lords of Silence , Mortarion follows him and respects him to some degree while in Plauge War he goes against the wishes of his god shows that Abaddon has sway over them regardless of their gods pushing them into it and that Daemon primarchs are fully capable of going against their wishes if they have any form of control over themselves.
@@cncmne7404 - Yes. Originally, Dorn tries to send his IF to Istvaan III, only to get lost. Dorn also almost killed Garro. Remember? Dorn used to possess the traits you accuse Alpharius of having before uber retconning. Would Alpharius get into a battle he could not win, even with this alleged arrogance? No. He is not an idiot. Would Perturabo be unable to realize his error or be unable to make a contigency plan? No. He is not an idiot. As for what Phall should have been, there should have stayed NO battle, with Dorn making another strategic blunder and being a hot head. You don't feel his earlier portrayal is so different from his later profile? Legion best at void warfare? Only because of Mary Sue factor 11 our of 10 (yes, I have bias and hate them, so disregard this as a real argument, ha ha ha). I've seen non-IF fanbois discuss this battle. There is large agreement that it was dum to happen in the first place (see above) and that it made the IW look dum just so the IF could not look useless (they were so super useless). This is exactly what a Mary Sue is. They have no prior presence, and then suddenly, they appear out of nowhere, make established characters look stupid so the Mary Sue can look good, and have unearned successes and poor development. You can't argue that Dorn is not one of the worst developed characters prior to this.
I feel like the Crimson fists get to have all the cake by being like the heroic Ultramarines while keeping the stoicism and pragmatism of the Imperial Fists
As flexible as the Ultramarines, as resilient as the Imperial Fists. When he was tasked to redesign the defense of Macragge he didn't outright disregard the value of the Ultramarines engineering but weighed its pros and cons according to the situation.
The crimson fists predate quite a few things Like the ultramarines, who were originally renegades inhabiting the “500 worlds” It’s very clear that the Crimson Fists and Rainbow warriors were originally meant to be legions, but weren’t because GW needed to sell paint and didn’t want a poster boy to have a complicated scheme like the rainbow warriors
One of the rare chapters that actually prioritize the protection of human life and not just humanity as a whole. They are closer to the sons of Vulkan in that aspect.
I still love the fact that the chapter master of the salamanders straight up punched out the marines malevolent chapter master for using artillery on orks that had attacked a refugee camp.
@@rojack79era raven guard successor. The raptors are very interesting because most marines are more of super warrior demigod monks. The raptors (and for the most part, the raven guard as a whole) are actual super soldiers. Using tactics and critical thinking, as opposed to brute force. They use camouflage, they target leaders with snipers, and only get into melee when necessary. I believe they also communicate very closely with the planet’s imperial guard to coordinate, as opposed to doing their own thing that involves assisting the guard.
Based. That's like in Angels of death when the captain met up with the rest of the squad in the elevator. Captain orpheo looked upon one of his brothers, both missing their left arm and say " well met brother."
I think that's true of most successor chapters. The Unforgiven, for example all have a Grand Master, but only the Dark Angels have a Supreme Grand Master. ++Nothing to see here inquisitor, move along and check the airlock++
Polux would be proud of his descendants for upholding the legacy of the Imperial Fists, and no doubt that they will continue to fight against foes of mankind, but it is the defense of their homeworld that made them into legends to the Imperium and beyond.
I’ve heard it said that the while the Imperial Fists embody Dorn’s dedication to duty, and the Black Templars embody his wrath, the Crimson Fists embody his humanity. Truer words have yet to be said in His Imperium.
Rynn's World is aboslutely amazing. The Crimson Fists' HUMANITY shines through despite ALMOST being extinct. Pedro Kantor makes Alexis, Dorn and the Emperor Proud!
Tbh I just got into warhammer and started listening to all the different chapters and their lore. I was gonna go salamander or black templars for my first. But now I'm going with crimson fist.
I've been a fan of the Crimson Fists since my introduction to 40k in 1987, when they were on the cover of Rogue Trader. I painted every one of my first Space Marine miniatures in Crimson Fist livery, and to this day they are still my favorite chapter. All that being said, I learned more about them in this 30-minute video than in the past three-plus decades. This is now one of my favorite Rememberancer videos. Thank you sir!
I've been waiting for 15+ years for an updated Pedro Kantor figure. Now, more than ever...I'm praying to the God Empeor to bless us with a Primaris Pedro Kantor and a sequel chapter book telling about Crimson Fists current battles in the Indomitus Crusade.
I feel the Black Rage fading, as I feed upon the rich Blood of Knerdy Knowledge. Praise be to the Remembrancer, truly thy are words are some thoroughly good stuff, my man.
That's it, I'm making a "last wall" army after my pure imperial fists list is done. Painting my phobos marines as Crimson Fists, my assault marines as Templars, my gravis boys as imperial fists, my veterans as deathwatch Vets, and my regular mark 10 marines being a mix of excoriators, fists exemplar, and imperial fists. So that I have the whole of the second founding coming together in an army, (a friend nearby plays soul drinkers so might borrow some models to sprinkle in for pictures)
Can we just pause to consider the most awesome name in all of 40k...The "Arch-Aarsonist of Charadon!" LMAO!!! Someone deserved a medal for coming up with that one.
“Would” count: 63 Doesn’t mean I’d not loved this though, I really did ❤️ The 40k universe is vast, and each Astartes chapter has its own unique history.
FOLLOWERS OF THE CODEX ASTARTES TO THE LETTER. Except having 128 brothers in their 1st Company. Except creating specialized units not outlined in the codex. Except making unique titles such as The Lord Hellblade, The Master of thr Fleet, The Monitor, designating failed aspirants as The Chosen - the head of which is called the Major Domo. Except designating an Emperor's Champion in times of desperation (just like the Black Templars). Yeah okay. 😅
"You hold duty above glory or vengeance" said girlyman. I'm not suggesting anything, but it seems like his butt is already feeling what's waiting for it when the adults return and he'll have to meet Dorn. Dorn did hold duty above glory or vengeance, but he'd probably make an exception for his girlybro. Even with 3 out of 4 astartes in existence being ultrasmurfs, he's still afraid of Dorn and rightfully so. Plot armour don't last forever, as recent events have shown.
Love the video and love The Crimson Fists! One thing I noticed tho was that as far as I knew the Crimson Fists do absolutely nothing to denote companies. No pauldron colors or anything of the sort. The only way to tell is all 1st company have two red fists with red handguards. I know the lore changes all the time, I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything. Also I think the only helmet difference is the red stripe for LT. I don't think the sternguard paint their helmets white, again I could be wrong tho. Keep up the great work!
Been collecting primaris kits and thisnis going to be my army. I have a few firtborn HQ/hero models that are slated to be "advisors" to this newly raised company of primaris crimson fists.
Thanks for this Sir, have to say I did'nt know too much about the Crimson fists apart from that they existed, it was an enjoyable episode. As ever greetings from Kilkenny,R.O.I 🇮🇪
The CF Omnibus, which I read a few weeks ago, has everything worth reading about them, and yes stroke with tragedy like not many chapters; they still went on against all odds
Blue and red are fantastic colors together. These red fists are ceremonial and kind of religious. The Night Lords (i want to make a joke chapters as the *Knight* Lords which people will confuse but these Knight Lords are the exact opposite winning everyone over with their nobilty and being cool) but the Night Lords have red fists as a gang ritual symbolizing that he's a dead man, his life is forfeit once he dips the red paint, someone is going to kill him. Ultramarines might have them because higher ranks symbolized by colors on their helmet, of which red was one. It used to be a mark of shame and censure. There are some more blue body red fists Marines but i cant think of them right now.
The Festival of the Blood is essentially lifted from the real world Feast of St. Januarius. The saints blood is kept in a glass ampoule and on Sept 19th, the dried blood liquefied. Awesome they used this real world event here!
I can safely say I have never fallen in love with a faction faster than I have with the Crimson Fists. Harking back to the first White Dwarf I brought, I first laid eyes on the Crimson Fists in Tale of Four Warlords where the Space Marine player had chosen the Fists for his chapter. As soon as I saw their deep blue armour and bright red fist I knew this was the chapter for me. At one time I had a full company and half a veteran company of firstborn models. Sadly due to hard times I have sold off the collection with the only surviving model being Alexis Pollux painted as a Crimson Fist. But with the era indomitus I have begun collecting again. The models I got from Conquest magazine became the start of my Crimson Fists Primaris army and with Leviathan they have been expanded upon again and again. I eventually started reading the lore and I fell more and more in love with them, they also would see the continued theme of me collecting factions that have suffered hardships, notably Iyanden Aeldari. While I often start small collections of other Chapters or factions I will always be a loyal son of Dorn.
Because of the chapter's low numbers, they kinda give me Raven Guard vibes. Also NGL when you mentioned the Celestial Lions, I kinda got sad for a bit cos I was browsing 40k books, and discovered Spears of the Emperor, which led me down a rabbit hole with the conclusion that some members of the Inquisition are petty as fuck.
funny to hear: "the crimson fists follows everything in the codex astartes, the crimson fists breaks the rules of the Codex, the crimson fists would never break anything set up by the codex, the crimson fists does not do as the codex demands." Make up your mind lol
As focused as they are against Orks, and now that Yarrick is dead, GW should have the Orky/Big E blessed Living Saint Bale Eye occasionally aid the Fists when they face a Waaah.
As a brother chapter of the Crimson Fists I must say I have never heard of a worse fumble in the entire history of the Imperium than what happened to the Arx Tyrannus, a grave tragedy nevertheless.
I think we need more hybrid chapters like the crimson fists. A ultramarine/space wolves successor or a space wolves/dark angels successor would be awesome
Some months ago i read the crimson fists omnibus, which told the story about about the battles for Rinns World. The book was fascinating, there were counts of bravery from astartes, imperial guard and even techpriests. From siege battles at the beginning of the invasion, to the construction of massive gargants, usage of ork equipment sure to critical material and weapons shortage and finally guerilla warfare until reinforcements finally arrived. I've only been searching about 40k since last year and it's been fascinating, so far CF have been my favorites. Outgunned and massively outnumbered, yet their honor and willingness to serve the emperor remain unscathed.
They as chapter of building big epic superweapon other another powerfully of black templars as one legion imperial fists another other legion can kick butt orc chaos inhuman rebellion against imperium of man
Alexis Polux and the crimson fists, especially Pedro Kantor show that the civilians are not fodder like their arrogant primarch. Really human behaviour compared to the fists or templars who are more famous and represent Dorn
Alexis Polux' Level Headed Fist. The first blue poster boys before the Ultramarines, expert Ork Hunters.
And the first Giga Mary Sue, rendering the creation of the Primarchs irrelevant because of his plot armor. Possibly one of the biggest mistakes in the entirety of GW fiction.

As a brother chapter of the Crimson Fists I must say I have never heard of a worse fumble in the entire history of the Imperium than what happened to the Arx Tyrannus, a grave tragedy nevertheless.
can't wait for lamenters, flesh tearers, deathwatch, black dragons, firehawks, legion of the damned, blood ravens, and soul drinkers
The Silver Skulls, the next transmission
I think we need more hybrid chapters like the crimson fists.
A ultramarine/space wolves successor or a space wolves/dark angels successor would be awesome
Well, make one, choose a banner and markings, colour scheme and have at it
Why i do believe they're my favorite.
Omg, this "Miracle of the Blood" is essentially a rip-off of the miracle of St. Gennaro in Naples!
The crimson fists in general give off some definite catholic vibes I feel like
You should do a video on the mortifactors. They're a cannibalistic and barbaric space marine chapter.
Thank you
Now do the Raptors
The best bois out there
I tought they had a very bad reputation as the inqusitors lapdog? for thier involvment in eradicating a lot of renegade/traitor space marine chapters?
Some months ago i read the crimson fists omnibus, which told the story about about the battles for Rinns World.
The book was fascinating, there were counts of bravery from astartes, imperial guard and even techpriests. From siege battles at the beginning of the invasion, to the construction of massive gargants, usage of ork equipment sure to critical material and weapons shortage and finally guerilla warfare until reinforcements finally arrived. I've only been searching about 40k since last year and it's been fascinating, so far CF have been my favorites. Outgunned and massively outnumbered, yet their honor and willingness to serve the emperor remain unscathed.
Angels of vengeance next
EXCELLENT
OG Smurf Marines.
powerfists be goofy af
can anyone explain why their armor is blue tho?
Crimson lances is the name of my custom chapter 😂
They as chapter of building big epic superweapon other another powerfully of black templars as one legion imperial fists another other legion can kick butt orc chaos inhuman rebellion against imperium of man
What the imperial fists should be.
custodes video when?
Make a video for Flesh Tearers.
still nobody knows why they are blue like ultramarines, but i know - cause its a lazy design thats why
I thought Kantor became chapter master because he was the ranking surviver of rynns world
He was Chapter Master from the before Waaagh Snagrod
is it just me, or did the audio just double over in a part?
One of the best stories was the tale of the land raider Rynn's Might.
Alexis Polux and the crimson fists, especially Pedro Kantor show that the civilians are not fodder like their arrogant primarch.
Really human behaviour compared to the fists or templars who are more famous and represent Dorn
What's that music at the end???? I love it . 32:12
Noice
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH
What anime is the intro from?
👍👍
Can you post the sources, please? Where is the intro quote from?
Hate the templars for losing there humanity
I fist crimson fists for breakfast
Is Alexus Polux the one who the deathwatch call Omni and he’s supposed one of the physically strongest space marines?
