The '''Iron Hounds''' are an [[Ultramarines]] [[Successor Chapter]].{{Fn|1b}}
==Overview==
The [[Chapter]] hails from the planet [[Orinus]] in the [[Ultima Segmentum]] {{Fn|1a}} and the legends of their history, date back to the [[Fourth Founding]]. The Iron Hounds have always been firm allies of their Ultramarines Founding Chapter and they have pledged warriors to the cause of [[Ultramar]] on countless occasions. They have become renowned for their relentlessness and are ruthless warriors who pursue their enemies until every last foe has been slain.{{Fn|1b}}
During the [[Psychic Awakening]], the [[Ordo Xenos]] requested that the Iron Hounds, [[Rift Cobras]] and the [[Templars of the Covenant]] [[Chapters]] attack the [[Ork]] infested [[Kebban Sub-sector]]. The [[Xenos]] were at war with each other at that time and the Ordo sought their destruction before a [[Warboss|Warlord]] rose to unite the Orks{{Fn|2}}. They also aided the [[Ultramarines]] in the [[Third War for Damnos]]{{Fn|1c}} and later fought the forces of [[Nurgle]] in the [[Scourge Stars]]. However, it is now believed the Iron Hounds may have been [[Lost Chapter|destroyed]], while defending the Imperial worlds located within that blighted region.{{Fn|3}}
