Codex Sinister

>The Fists and the Mechanicum are to remain separate identities, with neither being an organization within the other

>The Mechanicum is never to take command over battle and shall rely upon the Fists for all efforts of war unless ordered by Fists to fight

>The Fists are never to attempt to intervene with matters of the mechanicum unless such an act is one of war and then must be given blessings of war before battle by a mechanicum member

>Knowledge must flow freely between members of the fists and members of the mechanicum, as such hiding knowledge from a member of equal rank is forbidden by the Codex Sinister

>The words of Marcus Sinistrum are to be obeyed always

>A "Master of Mars" is to be chosen from within the ranks of the Fists to represent the will of the chapter and of Marcus, there is no higher position within the Fists or Mechanicum

>A group ,dubbed "Sinister Prophets", of 10 high magos are to be chosen from the ranks of the mechanicus to see over the care of marcus sinistrum and to interpret his divine will

Homeworld

Taris Sinister

a beautiful green planet during short summers but suffering from long, harsh winters that gives it the appearance of an ice world. During the winters horrible native animals stalk the ice and snow. Many families die not just from the cold and starvation but from being hunted by these beasts. Marcus Sinistrum was found in the deep of winter, the family that found him assumed his family had either died or abandoned him as another mouth to feed and took him in. As all primarchs do Marcus grew quickly and became a man in his X winter(how quickly do primarchs mature im not sure). Growing up he had a knack for the mechanical and made a name for himself traveling house to house fixing heaters and radios. As he grew older he made his own inventions, sensor towers that warned of incoming beasts and defense systems to keep homes safe. During the summers he made his most of the time he had to work in safety, turning scattered villages into grand cities or strongholds, mechanizing farming during the summers and creating hydroponic farms underground in the winter. When the emperor came for him he found the world Tarris not to be a dieing feral world but a beacon of light shimmering in space, cities full of light covering the planet. Marcus was not eager to leave but was in awe of his fathers might and the space ships he came on and pledge himself to the imperium immediately. Taris Sinister still benefits from Marcus's technological might, using his influence to send mechanicum to his homeworld and transform it into a great forge

Legion Tactics

Advancing slowly, seldom using APCs, instead using Vindicators, Funerus Tanks, and Land Raiders.The legion marches, implacable, with self propelled guns like Medusas and mobile thunderfire cannon keeping pace with ranks of heavy infantry.When they get in range, they open fire with an unending fusillade, the infantry advancing, firing, beneath the shells and other heavier ordnance from the tanks.Then, when they get up to the enemy line, jump troops come screaming out of nowhere with chem-flamers and roaring chainblades. Fists of Mars take a combined arms approach. They're infantrymen with a lot of tanks.

The Fists of Mars are a glacier of ceramite and adamantium

Legion Organization

With the Death of Marcus Sinistrum the Fists elected their most trusted to be Master of Mars. The Master is warden of the Fists and Mechanicus in the east. Each planet recruited from is gifted to a member of the Fits who become Master of that planet and joins the council to the Master of Mars. Under them are ten members of council to that Master, each are trusted with great responsibility both off and on the battlefield. All other members are simply brothers under the Fist

Busy life during the crusades keeps them far apart but Marcus thinks of them as close. after the herasy the Sinister Prophets have a number of times concluded that the will of Marcus is to assist the Crimson Warhawks.

Quotes

=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 herasy 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
