I haven't lost an arm, Brother. It's right over there.

[@tyrxian6452]

One of the greatest Space Marine quotes

[@robertnelson9599]

Between their physiology and technology, that arm could be reattached.

[@dromankass8655]

It would have been nice if he had been able to re-attach his arm, and given the physiology of the space marines, it could have been done, save for the fact that their chapter fortress had just been destroyed, a full Ork invasion was battling across the planet, and medics being in short supply, there was no chance to re-attach his arm. So he just fought on without it.

[@Hollywood113807]

He didn't even think to use it as a club to kill more xenos? Disappointing.

[@lukasperuzovic1429]

It's okay, the Emperor see fit that he had a spare arm to fight with.

*PURGANDO CON MI FAMILIA!!!!*

[@Agenthellion]

I love the Crimson fists, by far one of my favorite Chapter. They might not get as much attention like the Black Templar, but I always found them to be more likeable. The Crimson Fists also have some of my favorite characters Alexis Polux, Pedro Kator, and Alessio Cortez. Always fighting against the odds while defending the Emperor's people. True sons of Dorn. Great job on this video as always, Naerina!

[@MadCat-DruklsAbndKids]

The Crimson Fists! A second founding chapter of the Adeptus Astarties, and descending from the great line of the founding legion, the Salamanders. They seemingly fixed several genetic mutations of the most genetically deviant founding legion. Though losing use of the betchers gland, and their built in sleeping bag, they developed all the genetic aspirations of the deeply empathetic Salamanders except for their deep glowing red eyes, stature, and obsidian skin.

Are you implying that the Crimson Fists are sons of Vulkan? Because that would be heresy to believe.

[@darthlazurus4382]

I personally feel like the Crimson Fists deserve a big legendary win. They were the poster boys of 40k for so many years. Their defense of Rynn's world was an accomplishment, but I feel they need a win that amazes the Imperium on the whole.

I think Imperial Fist successor chapters are more interesting than the Imperial Fists themselves. Crimson Fists, Black Templars, Sons of the Phoenix (yea right), and the Celestial Lions are some of my favorite chapters. I especially love that when the Crimson Fists' monastery was destroyed, a land raider managed to drive itself out of the rubble, and wage a guerilla war against the orks.

Don't care if it's a meme, Spaniards. Tercio infantry ruled the field for 200 years at least. Pushed out the Moores, conquered the new world, smashing the Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs, conquered all over the globe. The Spanish earned this chapter.

I have a very important question: 11:45 What are those small gaps on the inner edge of a space marine's pauldrons for? Why are they there? What purpose do they serve? Is it part of the armor's manufactoring process? It isn't in all space marine art, but it still consistetly shows up in a large amount of it. I have never been able to figure out what this little detail is there for. WHAT ARE YOUR SECRETS TINY SHOULDER HOLES?!?!

[@Amatsaru29]

Honestly the last wall protocol should've been in the codex Astartes from the start. Whenever Guilliman takes command, his gene sons essentially become a legion. Even in the devastation of Baal we had a pseudo-legion of blood angels under Dante. Even further back when Hive Fleet Behemoth arrived at Maccrage, the gene sons of Guilliman joined with the Ultamarines.

[@StylesV13]

What if the Emperor created a Legion of Grey Knights before the Horus Heresy, before Lorgar fell? He was aware of the threat Chaos was but didn't create the GK until after Horus fell. So he had the ability to create a Legion that couldn't fall to Chaos but chose not to do so.

The emperor could have just made the thunder warriors more stable if he wanted to create stronger faster warriors but he didnt. he recognized if he made warriors to strong and they turned who could stop them. The Adaptus Astarte's was a nice equilibrium and needed no improving because if they where any stronger the imperium would not be able to stop them.
