“Magic pain glove, tell me what I must do.”

you know what turians from Mass Effect, Imperial Fists and their successors have in common? you know they're out of ammo when they switch to the stick up their butts as a backup weapon.

Put them and the Lamenters in a battle line and you have a front that cannot be broken by trickery or fear. no witch talent or super weapon. Nothing but slowly having to cut through every last astartes, fighting until the last breath leaves their third lung, and the last beat of their second heart.

Considering older lore for the Imperial Fists literally implies that they have a Chapter-wide proclivity towards masochism as a genetic flaw... yeah, the Excoriators make sense on a fair few levels.

Bonding like that believe me or not It’s what makes us strong God bless all of y’all

A simple and elegant idea - start with a basic white paint-job (It won't stay that way for very long) and leave ANY non-penetrative damage as-is, only fixing efficiency-lowering armor-breaches. Give it a single campaign somewhere and they will have more scrapes, pains flayes, bullet-marks, dents and laser-burn marks than an Imperial Guard practice target. Just imagine how brutal that might look - you are reinforced by a fresh company of basically any other chapter (ooh, shiny) and then these guys, looking like they arrived fresh from a fifty year long firefight...

Imperial Fists got tired of complaints about yellow, and out of spite made the Excoriators White.

Katafalque, the founder of the Excoriators, commanded the fight on the walls of the Imperial Palace. When Katafalque asked for his orders, Dorn simply told him “Do not lose.”

Aah, yes, the legion of the damned novel(sanders did a great job with them), from the space marine battles series (which reminds me that I should continue reading now that I got my hands on nearly all of them). Let's not forget, lod have been watching zach for a long time, just out of vision, for the right moment to intervene near the end of the novel.

For being a bunch of angry boys you got to at least give them credit for holding a festival where they're trying to at least be like. "look we all still need to work with each other because we all pretty much came from the same father and we can't really have this bad blood between us so let's fight it out."

They took the lesson of the Iron Cage a bit too seriously, but then again they aren't the only sons of Dorn to take things too seriously (like the Black Templars)
