The Crimson Fists embrace the [[Codex Astartes]] readily, and are amongst the most traditional of the sons of [[Rogal Dorn]]{{Fn|1}}, including their primogenitors, the [[Imperial Fists]]{{Fn|22f}}, and the [[Fists Exemplar]] who were comprised of those VII [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] Marines who most supported the implementation of the Codex{{Fn|55a}}; as such they receive training in all aspects of combat as written by [[Roboute Guilliman]]. There are a few minor deviances, such as the [[Veteran Company|1st Company]] being known as the [[1st Company (Crimson Fists)|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{{Fn|1}}. Traditionally this company has also gone without a [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]], instead answering directly to the [[Chapter Master]], but [[Pedro Kantor]] has broken with this practice, believing that to split his time between Chapter and 1st Company would be to do both a disservice{{Fn|22d}}. It is considered a bad omen to march to battle with less than a full Crusade Company{{Fn|1}}.

The Crimson Fists have always had close ties with the [[Imperium]] and the [[Inquisition]]. They have contributed many warriors to the [[Kill-Team]]s 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{{Fn|1}}
