An Imperial Fists Successor Chapter that, well, are pretty [[Games Workshop|blatant]] at what they are and do. They are ''literal'' Iron Knights that besiege enemy fortifications and fire ''iron'' bolts at their enemies and ride on ''iron'' steeds. Sounds like an appropriate name for [[Stormcast Eternals|those guys]]. Of course they would be from the Imperial Fists, the most "knightly" of all other Space Marines (Dark Angels?). Knowing how crazy things get in 40k, it wouldn't be too far off if these guys had ''literal'' mechanical horses. But since they specialize in sieges, they probably wouldn't have that many. But you can bet your ass they have Vindicators and Rhinos and Predators, etc. Hell, they might even have a [[Mastodon]] or two. Oh and they have a homeworld with [[Administratum|two names due to standard quality control.]]

Part of their chapter went full-on heretic and joined Chaos, becoming the Iron Brethren. Somehow this [[Iron Warriors|isn't surprising]]. I mean, '''Iron Knights'''? From ''Dorn''? Really?

==Chapter History==
*'''Last Wall Protocol''' - Helped out their primogenitor with rebuilding during the [[War of The Beast]].
*'''102nd [[Feast of Blades]]''' - The chapter champion Hervald Strom wins the competition after narrowly defeating the Imperial Fists' champion in ritual duel.
*'''The [[Sons of Guilliman|Constantinus]] Iconoclasm''' - 13 year long crusade to retake the planets around Nova Terra after a [[Sons of Guilliman]] Sergeant went rogue.
*'''The Thrassos Disaster''' - Lured an Ork [[Warboss]] onto a refinery, then blew up all the bridges leading to it. Sadly, [[not as planned|the Orks used the facility to their advantage and killed over 300 Marines there]]. [[WAAAGH|Then the Orks moved on to the rest of the Adransa Cluster.]]
*'''Nightfire Wars''' - The Nightfire Wars were fought between the Imperium and the T'au [[Farsight Enclaves]]. The Iron Knights and [[Hammers of Dorn]] saw bitter combat in the campaign.
*'''13th Black Crusade''' - Amongst the first chapters to respond fresh off a self-imposed pentinent crusade, they fought the [[Death Guard]] alongside the [[Howling Griffons]] at Amistel Majoris in gruelling trench warfare, the trenches literally became fetid sucking swamps from the blight seeping into the decomposing bodies that the marines had to wade through to bring the smackdown on the Plague Marines, The filth marred their blue-grey armor so thoroughly the champlains had to perform daily rites of purification to keep poxes from boiling up in the ranks. Their presence in the warzone inevitably replaced their penitent crusade as the thing that would inevitably redeem them, and felt by the 3rd week of the Black Crusade the area was secure enough to spare some reinforcements to Cadia.
