The Crimson Fists embrace the Codex Astartes readily, and are probably the most traditional among the sons of [[Rogal Dorn]], and receive training of all aspects of combat as written by Roboute GuillemanGuilliman. There are a few minor deviances; such as the first company being known as the [[Crusade Company]], a tradition started after the Crusade of Righteous Liberation left the Crimson Fists with no more than 128 survivors. The 1st company has been kept at 128 marines since, with the master of the Crusade Company always being the Chapter Master as well. It is considered a bad omen to march to battle with less than a full veteran company.
The Crimson Fists have always had close ties with the Imperium and the [[Inquisition]]. They have contributed many warriors to the kill-teams of the [[Ordo Xenos]], being renowned Ork fighters. They have also, at the order of [[Terra]] and the Inquisition, destroyed two chapters of brother Space Marines; the insane [[Sons of Gideon]] and the mind-wiped [[Marines Vigilant]]. This has earned them a reputation as lap dogs of the Inquisition among certain chapters.
