The story so far: Crimson Fists.


Post Cicatrix Maledictum

Crimson Fists 7th Primaris Company

The Crimson Fists of the 7th Primaris Company were  dispatched to the world of Steinberg to purge an Ork raiding party. It was during this time a strange transmission was received from a neighbouring system. Captain Stefano Salbatore took charge of a Liberator Strike Force, along with Heracio Santos (aka The Timeflayer) his most trusted advisor, and embarked towards a world known as Krillion.

The purging of Steinberg
The Krillion Invasion

A humongous Ork Waaagh! had invaded the world of Krillion. The inhabitants had no time to defend themselves. The Horde had seemingly come out of no where. Swarming, pillaging and killing across every continent. Into this flood of Greenskins, Salbatore and his strike force descended. Ripping out the Captial City from the clutches of the Orks and creating a stronghold and bulwark from which to repel the Xenos. The City's rescue however did not go without incident. As there was much confusion and chaos upon first landing. Reports crashed in of others who had been drawn to the planet, the signals origin. Imperial forces came to answer the call and protect the planet, further Xenos arrived to take advantage of the world's distress, and the most vile and traitorous Chaos forces spewed forth to relish in Krillion's troubles. The Stravoss 85th airborne, had swooped in and landed in the Captial, fighting off the Orks. As communications were disrupted by the Greenskins psychic interference. A blue on blue incident occured between the Stravoss 86th and the Crimson Fists. It is testament to both the Stravoss General and the Space Marine Captain, that In the aftermath of the tragedy, rather than focusing on the loss, they built a bridge of respect and honour, which saw the 2 sides unite and reclaim now just the city but the entire surrounding regions.
Later their battlefield bond would be the foundation of something greater
Defending Exilium City
The Krillion Liberation Crusade

As dark forces schemed to take advantage of the ravaged world. Imperial forces fought their corners and slowly began to link up. The Crimson Fists discovered the Space Wolves fighting in the frozen norths, The Exorcists and Iron hands fighting in the sands of the south.
To help coordinate the defence of the planet, the Imperial forces rallied together, each esteem leader forming a Command hub together and the Krillion Liberation Crusade was born. The space marine chapters joined with the stravoss 86th, and later, the knights of House of Aldervald and the Ardent Halo Shield Host (of the Custodes) and began to bring order and stability to Krillion.

Doomsday

In the closing days of the 'Krillion Invasion' a terrible and ancient truth had been discovered. Krillion had hiding a Necron complex deep beneath its earth, and the Orks as well as other strange creatures (thought extinct) had leaked from a damaged Necron Stasis Vault contained within.

There was one powerful being ensnared in the vault that had managed to escape in constrains, a terrible god of the Necrons, a greater shard of a C'tan known as Dhuum the Ruinmaker. Whilst the Crimson Fists fought off Chaos elements. The powerful C'tan rose from its tomb and prison, and unleashed it's wrath upon the planet.
It took the entire Krillion Liberation Crusade, united, to defeat Dhuum. It was a battle that saw many sacrifices and cost each of the forces dearly in order to secure victory.
In the aftermath of Dhuum's destruction, the Adeptus Mechanicus of Stygies VII flocked to the work and took jurisdiction, as well as claim to the wartorn world. The Krillion Liberation Crusade disbanded, each member going their separate ways.

The Crimson Fists returned to Rynn's World, Where the Chapter Master himself, Pedro Kantor honoured Salbatore for his bravery and leadership of the Krillion crisis. Soon new orders came, and the Primaris 7th Company set off to a new world, to another new Ork infestation... or so they thought.
