**{{Endn|13a}}: "The day of the Battle of Phall"
Repeated source.
Outside of battle, the Iron Warriors would always hone their craft for warfare. They maintained a number of warrior societies to this end, such as the [[Lyssatra]], [[Apolakron]], [[Dodekatheon]], and [[Kheledakos]].{{Fn|20b}} Iron Warriors would practice battle tactics and simulate battles by engaging in mock battles with one another using tabletop miniatures. More than mere games, such simulations were taken with dire seriousness by Iron Warriors legionnaires.{{Fn|25e}}
Ten thousand years later, the Iron Warriors maintain still same methodical icy ferocity, pride, and resentment, especially against the Imperial Fists or any of their successor Chapters. Their anger often manifests into cruelty, and they will gladly enslave and exterminate the citizens of the Imperium in massive numbers.{{Fn|9c}} The Legion as a whole cares little for their own, and even Perturabo was known to callously destroy his own ships if they were in the path of his own flagship ''[[Iron Blood]]''{{Fn|86}} as well as strike down his own sons as a way to vent anger.{{Fn|13a13}} This attitude extends to the Iron Warriors themselves, and they are known to violently settle old feuds and grudges with one another under the cover of battle.{{Fn|86}}
