===== Crimson Fists =====
* A mutation similar to Dorn's Darkness, known as "Only Honour In Death". The "curse" causes a massively increased willingness to fight to the last, holding their ground with a siege-like mentality which will see them triumph or die in the attempt the more foes that the Astartes faces, and the longer they are in combat, the more likely and stronger the curse becomes, making them feel emotions much like what Dorn felt during the [[Perturabo#Iron_Cage_Trolling|Iron Cage Incident]]. When succumbing to the "curse" the affected Battle-Brother sees only death: the death of their comrades, the death of the world, and the death of their foes. The curse is seen to come in three stages:
** Stage 1 - No Retreat. As the odds mount so does the Battle-Brother's stubborn refusal to retreat, seeing only the glory and honour in defeating such overwhelming foes if even the barest glimmer of victory remains. The Battle-Brother will even continue to fight, even if the Codex Astartes does not support that action, until there is no hope of victory left.
** Stage 2 - Suffer not Defeat. The Battle-Brother decides [[Red Scorpions|he'd rather die fighting than take a step back or listen to reason]], even when there's little reason to do so.
** Stage 3 - Unto Death. [[Blackshield|The Battle-Brother becomes hell-bent on sacrificing himself for victory or the safety of his brothers, regardless of how badly hurt he is.]] He'll happily accept suicide missions or near-enough suicidal tasks. Essentially Black Rage 2: Fists Boogaloo.
