Imperial Fists
The Walls of Humanity - Masters of Endurance and Defense
The Imperial Fists are one of the original Space Marine legions and are renowned for their unwavering loyalty to the Emperor. Their Primarch, Rogal Dorn, was an unrivaled master of fortress building and defensive warfare. This legacy is evident in every warrior of the Chapter: the Imperial Fists are iron-clad, tenacious, and willing to die to the last man in defense of humanity.
Most famous for their heroic deeds, the Battle for Terra during the Horus Rebellion, when Dorn and his legions held the Emperor's palace aloft amidst a storm of chaos. The Imperial Fists have since become synonymous with unwavering duty and enduring martial prowess.

The Imperial Fists are known for their bright yellow armor. One of the most challenging but rewarding color schemes in the Warhammer universe. The black details, red private colors and fortress symbols make the whole thing iconic.
