The Clan itself suffered heavy losses after the [[Skarvus Ambush]] and were subsequently led by [[Iron Father]] [[Kristos]] until the [[Gaudinian Heresy]], when Kristos became corrupted by [[Slaanesh]].{{Fn|3b}} [[Arven Rauth]] assumed control of the Clan in the aftermath of the Gaudinian Heresy, and he led Raukaan in the [[Purging of Contqual]] against the forces of [[Chaos]] in 812.[[M41]].{{Fn|1}} Later, they took part in the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade_#redirect The Battle of Medusa|Battle of Medusa]] during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]].{{Fn|2}} ==Notable Formations==*'''Tactical Squad Riis (2nd Squad)''' - Has earned a reputation for fighting at the forefront of battle and even exceeding some of the Chapter's [[Assault Squad]]s in attack fervor. They consider themselves devotees of [[Kardan Stronos]].{{Fn|3a}}*'''Tactial Squad Kalag (5th Squad)''' - Notorious for their methodical efficiency. It is claimed that the Battle-Brothers of Kalag never waste a single shot due to their exceptional fire control subroutines. The squad is known for its extensive bionics and refusal to take a single step backwards.{{Fn|3a}}*'''Assault Squad Neim (7th Squad)''' - Expert in supporting the Clan's armored offensives. Whenever the Clan's tanks and [[Dreadnought]]s are deployed en mass, the Battle-Brothers of Neim go with them. They can spot a breakthrough the moment it occurs and can read the intention of a tank's [[Machine Spirit]] through subtle nuances of code-bleed and weapons orientation. They are experts of timing their counter-attacks and flanking enemy vehicles to attack their rear. At the battle of Broken Hopes, Squad Neim even formed an informal honour guard for [[Venerable Dreadnought]] [[Furnous]]. Several Battle-brothers gave their lives to protect the mighty Dreadnought before the fighting was done, and were honoured with interment into Dreadnought sarcophagi of their own after the war’s end.{{Fn|3a}}*'''Devastator Squad Selox (9th Squad)''' - Referred to as ''Ferrus' Vengeance''. They are known for their ability to hold a grudge. They always seize an opportunity to avenge an old slight when on campaign.{{Fn|3a}} ==Known Members==*[[Iron Father]] [[Kristos]] - Former Clan-Commander{{Fn|3a}}*[[Arven Rauth]] - Clan-Commander{{Fn|1}}*[[Graevaar]] - Former [[Iron Captain]]{{Fn|3a}}*[[Telach]] - [[Chief Librarian]]{{Fn|1}}*[[Naim Morvox]] - [[Space Marine Sergeant|Brother-Sergeant]]{{Fn|1}}*[[Furnous]] - [[Venerable Dreadnought]]{{Fn|3a}} ==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}: [[Wrath of Iron (Novel)]] Chapters 1 & 2*{{Endn|2}}: [[The 13th Black Crusade (Background Book)]] pg.73*3: [[Clan Raukaan Clan- A Codex: Space Marines Supplement]]**{{Endn|3a}}: ''First Amongst Brothers''**{{Endn|3b}}: ''The Gaudinian Heresy'' [[Category:Iron Hands]]
