The Iron Fists are an Iron Hands Successor Chapter.[1]
Overview
They carry Storm Shields moulded with a medieval gauntlet[3] and make use of Land-Behemoths.[1]
The Iron Fists were the first to develop missiles with an extended range for the Whirlwind. This development occurred during the Assault on Hive Vortis. This longer ranged type of missile changed the short ranged support of the Whirlwind into a long-range bombardment artillery. However, to obtain the distance required for long-range engagement, accelerant was added at the cost of lessening the amount of high explosives. This, in turn, led to a situation when the missiles failed to cause sufficient damage to be effective in their new bombardment role.[4]
