A Successor Chapter of the Imperial Fists, this is what you get when you try to out-perform Ultramarines and Red Scorpions. The Hammers of Dorn were created in an unknown founding and are known to maintain a friendly (as in for a given definition of friendly) rivalry with the Ultramarines.
The Hammers of Dorn are ridiculously compliant with the Codex Astartes to the point that they'll call out the Ultramarines on every divergency from the great book of war Roboute Guilliman wrote. They also extend it to other Ultramarine Successor Chapters.
These marines take pride in Rogal Dorn further than any Imperial Fists Successor (as well as the Imperial Fists themselves), for Dorn fought alongside the Emperor during the final stages of the Horus Heresy during the Siege of The Emperor's Palace. This caused them also to believe that while Roboute Guilliman was a great strategist and tactician, only the sons of Dorn are capable of mastering the Codex he wrote, infuriating the Ultras and their successors (not to mention trying to steal the Ultramarines' boyfriends greatest rivals, the Word Bearers, away from them).
Although it would be seen that they fail at trying to look at the Codex as great book of everything instead of a guide on how marines are supposed to be (ironically meaning they unintentionally succeed in how Guilliman intended despite trying to take it as law), they actually were pretty successful at utilizing it in a multitude of campaigns (especially the Damocles Crusade where their rapid adaptability actually gave the Tau problems, at least until Farsight cracked the Codex and used it to predict their every action). One would even suggest that they actually read the Codex from cover to cover and learned how to use every tactic in it while also using their brains. Even though they follow the Codex to the letter, they do put emphasis on firepower and protection (hence their frequent use of Devastators, Terminators, Dreadnoughts and Vindicators). Which means that they actually don't strictly follow the Codex as they wouldn't be able to emphasis anything otherwise. This also means that Farsight couldn't have predicted their moves because they wouldn't actually be fully following the Codex. Besides that, being predictable doesn't matter if you are good enough at adapting that an opponent's counter is countered and their traps are turned against them. Or, in this Chapter's case, you have enough armor and firepower to simply slaughter everything anyway.
