Editing The Blessed (section)

==History==

Back during the [[Great Crusade]] the Blessed
or the Heaven Fists (their previous name), became known as the 'Emperor's Peacekeepers', having built up a large reputation of being excellent at crushing rebellions. However, the reputation was not for them putting the rebellion down but more of HOW they did it, making use of indiscriminate Chemical and Biological warfare. Making no differentiation between the innocent civilian population, the rebels amongst them and their own men (but as they were so numerous they couldn't care less for their own men) . Unlucky for them their reputation was also their downfall; their brutal way of fighting was leaving whole systems purged of life and inhospitable (some remaining to this day); once the [[Emperor]] heard of this, he sent the [[Space Wolves]] to 'take care' of them. Those several Great Companies of Space Wolves, sent to destroy them never returned, due to [[Tzeentch|someone]] tipping off the Heaven Fists that they were coming. It has been speculated that both the Heaven Fists and the Wolves sent to kill them perished in the fighting due to the reckless tactics and methods the Heaven Fists employ. The Imperium were wrong in the fact that the Heaven Fists were destroyed, but were right in the fact in the way they killed the Wolves. The Heaven Fists decided to leak their battle plans to the Wolves, misleading them into thinking the most of the Heaven Fists force laying waiting in the Tyrus system, specifically Tyrus-3, the notable death world in the System. Well technically, there was a force of Heaven Fists on the planet, but they were only being used as a lure for the wolves, who immediately descended upon the Marines. The second the Wolves got near, thousands of tons of chemical and bio weapons were dropped onto them wiping out both forces. Just to note, how much the Heaven Fists don't care for there own men the lure was composed of 15,000 Marines. FIFTEEN-THOUSAND marines, that is the equivalent of 15 codex compliant chapters in the 40,000 millennium. [[Just as planned]].

As far as we know, their Primarch also had a personal body guard like the other Primarchs. Unlike the other Primarchs, he had 2 types of bodyguards. They were known as the Nephilim and Teraphim, the former being excellent at CQB and hopeless at ranged who also had an obsession with Khopesh's and leaving the armour battle damaged and scarred, to look as menacing as possible. The  Latter, being the opposite having piss poor melee but have inhuman ranged abilities, enough to make [[Tau]] look like [[Orks]]. The training to become one of these Nephillim or Teraphim, are particularly dangerous as part of their training was to survive for a year with nothing but a combat knife or bolt pistol on the death world Tryus-3. The world was so dangerous it makes[[Catachan]] look like a Utopia and [[Cadia]] a holiday home, (As in 41st millennium [[Cadia]]). Their training was so brutal and ruthless that only 40 marines ever became Nephilim and Teraphim.
