To you my sons, I remind you we are not immortal. Let our right hands remind us of that but like our legions defect we replace it, we improve it and build upon its beauty and simplicity. like our hands we create the ideas and we hold them, triumphantly for we know that with our fist we moulded our creations.

===Bits to be sorted==

>What is your legion's command structure? What are the highest ranking officers called? Does your primarch have some sort of war council like the Mournival or the Tetrarchs? Who are your Primarch's Equerry and what are their major deeds?

After the loss of mars in the heresy the Fists of Mars fully integrated into the admech structure. Now the Admech and the Fists are impossible to distinguish as two separate groups. At the highest rank sits the Master of Mars, warlord of the Fists who ultimately makes all decisions for the Forgespace however all his actions are watched and advised on by the high tech priests of ???


>How is your Legion's Crusader State or Chaos March run? Is it a wasteland of dead worlds with weeping mothers, or a thriving metropolis of glowing worlds? What is your region of space called, and why? What are your relationships with your neighbors?

The resources of planets within the Forgespace have been fed to the war machine that is the fist of mars, They float as only dead rocks now. Most live on a number of forge worlds or within great fleets of ships and space stations.

>What does your legion do during the Warmaster's Heresy? 
We fight on the battlefields of mars against the heresy however in the fighting Primarch Marcus Sinistrum is heavily wounded. After the death of the emperor we retreat to what is now the forgespace. many die and the Admech is heavily weakened, mars is lost. Dieing Marcus orders his best men to save his mind.

>Where is your Primarch at the end of the heresy? Does he rule a crusader state/chaos march? Is he dead? Is he lost somewhere in the Eye of Terror? Is he a Daemon Prince?

The great forge world of ??? houses a great coffin that protects the brain of Marcus Sinistrum, Plugged into a thousand computers he still lives in a fashion and the highest ranking techpriests spend their days doing their best to interpret his wishes through binary chatter


>Agree on anything, the legion is full of shifting alliances between the mechanicus and the fists
>Go fast, the amount of red tape and bureaucracy in doing almost anything within the forge space is ridiculous which has lead to failing to mobilise til far too late. As Well as army tactics that rely entirely on heavy weapons and massive war fleets, all slow but powerful 
>Psykers, The fists do not like psykers at all. Some still cling to the idea that when they bring marcus back he will be able to create a now almost mythical construction that he promised could replace the need for psykers to travel the warp and then purge them from the imperium

not so much something they can't do but 

>Low troop count, the fists lost a huge amount of marines in the heresy and supplement their numbers with war machines and Skitarii,


>describe your talents as a primarch
A scholarly school of talents mostly helpful off the battlefield yet built large and strong
>what is the name of your legion?
Fist of mars
>what are its main tactics/characteristics?
Mechanized warfare 
>as a primarch, where do you land on the whole Council of Nikaea issue?
???
>at the time of the heresy, who do you side with
???
>Describe any special friendships/rivalries your legion has with any of the others
???

>What is the name of your primarch and legion? What is their number, and what are their heraldic symbols? What colors do your marines paint their armor?

Legio IX: The Fists of Mars, Mechanized warfare and tech specialists. lead by Primarch Marcus Sinistrum, Our symbol is of a clenched fist In the mechanicus cog.

>What are your legion's tactics? Do they fight with cunning or strength? What sort of equipment do they favor? What sort of enemy would you call them for?

Mechanized warfare and tech specialists. All our battle brothers make heavy use of implants and bionics as well as chapter modified equipment, much of our equipment is best used as artillery although some of our brothers take to melee combat with mechadendrites and force fields 

likely to be removed

>what's the major defect in your chapter's geneseed or traditions?
My right hand is crippled from weakened nerves and so to are my chapter's sons weakened in kind
>what is your signature weapon, vehicle, or other wargear, and why?
The right hand is removed and replaced with a custom integrated weapon or tool different for each marine
>after the Heresy, what is your former Legion's major deviation from the Codex - or what unique gift does your dark god give your Legion, now?
We look to the machine to much to fully fall within the Codex as exemplified in the machine right hand

===Sinistrum's tomb===

A giant cold metal room, the low hum of fans that circulates the freezing cold. Hanging from the walls and vaulted ceiling are lengths of thick wires running from consoles and machines all over. All coming back to the center of the room, connecting to a large metal cylinder. A thick glass panel in the metal shows, floating in blue liquid, the brain of the primarch. Thin wires make a nest in the water and connect all over the brain. Coming back from this to the right is a strange skeletal structure, held up by wires to make the shape of a man with his arms outstretched. Notably, the right arm is large and thick, creating a distinct shape, as opposed to the skeletal web of wires and machines that are the collection of enhancements that once housed themselves within the skeleton's flesh. It ends in a large red fist. To the left of the tank is a large display case, beautifully crafted with striking red velvet inlay. The edges perfectly conform to the shape of the resplendent, full suit of power armour, beautifully preserved, yet still bearing the marks of it's last battle and to the shape of the huge heavy bolter sitting beside it.

This is the tomb of Marcus Sinistrum, beyond its walls lies the Sinister Council and the thousands of computers dedicated to sustaining Marcus's unlife and interpreting his will. Beyond that, the heavy, thick, steel walls and heavy auto turrets. Defences strong enough to hold back an army, all the way to the surface, where a great temple to the Omnissiah sits with a grand statue of the Fist of Mars himself, Marcus Sinistrum. The forge world of Taris Sinister and its armies defend this place from the everlasting war of the 41st Millenium.

===Exodus of mars===

"Belisarius Cawl is a madman and a weasel of an Astartes who got to his position through his cunning determination, but he is in some ways the most ingenious and resourceful man in forge space and he has a plan that may just save whats left of the imperium he once knew."- battle brother Cazian, titan squad.

Belsarius Cawl had predicted the times at which terras roil would calm and allow access to the planet  Captain Aeon of the fists of mars and several squads of the finest marines at their disposal, each had been an itching for some revenge. Forming an elite strike team along with a contingent of several  they journey to terra aboard an experimental stealth ship named the domum vinctum. after several months they reach terra, more of a blister than a planet, scared by rifts that distorted the planet's very makeup creating a vast roil which enveloped the planet , despite this they laboured onward through the roil and to the centre of terra's warp storms. upon landing the squad would make their way towards the ancient.it quickly became apparent this was not the gleaming world the elder magos would speak of, the jewel as it was once called, was cracked and its surface barren save for the rare daemon who would swell with balefire before imploding with pure power, the daemons on had a swollen appearance,growing fat on the sorrow of others and horns held aloft many skulls held by tassels of red string. the warp however was the fist smallest concern as they reached the great boulevards leading directly for the palace they encounter a chaos hellbrute stalking the ruins and barring there way forward, with time running out they were forced to confront it head on in which full quarter of their depleted forces were lost. upon the palaces great steps stood a band of Arms of Asura who's intentions were made clear, they were here also on business with the divines corpse but rather their mad sorcerer wished to have a demon inhabit the cadavers body and simply to defile the grandfather of the legions. the fist in typical manner marched up the steps with breacher shield and heavy weapons that would absorb the bulk of the fire with only two casualties. within they were stalked by summoned plague bearers and horrors from tears in reality, after being separated by the traitors several marines and Cawl would wander through the eerie palace of the one supreme master of mankind, along the way the astartes are presumably killed while Cawl escapes, he is now alone as a ghoul of some other realm stalks him one which bared resemblance to Cawl, who saw himself decrepit and fused with robotics that helped the ghost wheeze along, seeing this Cawl ran as far from this horror as possible until running straight into a roving band of traitor, assuming this ghost was him in years from now and that he would become withered and old no longer useful, because of this he betrays his brothers for the traitors and aids in the arms ambush of the fists of mars. (work in progress)  

==Characters==

===Belsarius Cawl===
A techmarine from the fifteenth brotherhood he was one of a few among the fists of mars who bizarrely despised augmentations as he believed the body itself was a machine and to build upon it would be an affront to the omnisiah. Due to this he stood out among the retinue of the brotherhood as a wholly pure space marine who draped himself in holy litanies proffesing his love for the the pure space marine.
