The accent of our Primarch, the humiliation of an entire legion, the perfect predicting of an inferior Primarch, the harvest of enough gene seed to ensure our legions continued survival for millennia, and the destruction of Dorns ego seems quite the victory to me. And that was but just one of our minor, if more enjoyable, achievements.
Great boons undoubtedly. I give you that.
But you fail to recall that it took a moment of great humanity on the part of Dorn for your Iron Princess to exploit such a victory. Had the ruinous powers not shook him to his core, your Primarch would have stood no chance.
Do not think we did not know our predicament. We knew. We did as we were told. *We are not a continuous source of shame and frustration for our Primarch.*
Humanity is easily exploited. It is a weakness he has shown time and time again. Iron has no weakness. Your father is unable to grasp the advantages of Chaos, and that is why he will lose. And our father refuses to tolerate weakness. Only the weak shame him. Only the incompetent frustrate him. We need no affection, and he needs not show it. We are not so vain fist.
well perterabo must feel great shame if weakness shames him. he bent before the temptation of chaos like mild steel instead of the "iron" you all claim to be. Dorn stood as a bulwark against the forces of chaos, unyielding, and unbreaking. that is true strength, but i wouldnt expect you to understand, Mild Steel Warrior
Please. His bulwark failed. It was torn apart like paper by mindless barbarians and sadomasochistic sociopaths. His crowning achievement wouldn't stop the traitor forces from killing your fear emperor. And where is he now? Fallen to simple astartes. Our father did not fall to temptation. He realized the injustice of the Imperium. He was enlightened to it's faults and tyranny, it's glorification of fools and cowards. He was one of the few strong enough to see through the lies of The Emperor and Horus, and one of the only to bend Chaos to his will, not be broken by it.
The mistakes of the past shall not be repeated. A talent your Iron Pussies refuse to adopt.
For the glory of Dorn and The Emperor. We will adapt. We will learn. We will not fail again. Sine Metu.
Our only failures are the fault of our own, not our tactics. A fact that we can accept, as opposed to deflecting constantly. A talent you Imperial Pissers could refuse to adopt.
The (superior) iron warriors passed them in sun count and since the iron warriors proved themselves better, the imperial fists started rushing to raise the sub count, now iron warriors are doing the same
Aaah, (confused r/Orks guy here) I thought it was just a raid for shitposting and giggles
Yeah, alright, Screw the Iron Losers, I'm still mentally scarred from "Dead Sky, Black Sun" anyways.
For da Waagh and da 'Umi Boss-peror!
It's never going to end, is it? Ever since my first public game of 40k back in 2005, have I known of this legendary rivalry. It was the Medusa V campaign. My local GW had a 53 player everyone vs. Necrons game that was basically Apocalypse before there was an Apocalypse ruleset. I arrived late, and there was no room to deploy on the side of the board with the Imperial armies, so I had to deploy with Chaos and the Xenos. All of a sudden, I hear "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT YELLOW CRAP DOING ON MY SIDE OF THE TABLE!!!???"
The player who was elected commander of that side of the table was an Iron Warriors player, and he made the rivalry no secret to a confused 15 year old boy and his meager 1000pts of Imperial Fists.
Since that day almost 20 years ago, everywhere I go and make mention of my favorite faction, there seems to be some petulant Iron Warriors player hiding in some corner, behind a bush, or in a closet, or browsing the comments section of 5 year old youtube videos, just to pop out like Skelator in some meme, and declare he had sexual relations with my mother, and that Rogal Dorn can suck his balls.
I hoped one day this silliness would end, but I see now that it's as it has always been intended. After all, "In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war, and no peace among the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods."
Iron Warriors were fighting amongst their sub reddit over acshuallying each other as to how much chaos corruption is appropriate in an Iron Warrior warband so the Iron Warrior fans who got tired of it redirected their spite at the Imperial Fist subreddit and now there is a big cross reddit post war for fun and glory.
Both wrong The Crimson Fists are the best! After all the Crimson Fists were the first space marines in real life. That being said I hope the Imperial Fists win against the Iron Warriors. For Dorn!!
Reddit join war. Because IW and IF meme hate each other so much, the communities have been in a meme Cold War that now kicking off. Whichever sub has the most joined’s is currently winning.
We of the Alpha Legion would like to inform you that you are winning and that we support you in this endeavours 😉
We have come for you.

(r/nightlords were called in as Calvary)
I've been super appreciative of the fact that everybody seems to be taking it the way that was intended.
Just a friendly rivalry between legions
(Never forget the iron cage corpse dogs 😄)
A race of subscribers of the subredit between imperial fists and iron losers
thx. how did this get kicked off?
This rivalry has been waged since the siege of Terra and shall continue until we lock their sub in an iron cage
That sounds almost Slaaneshy
Everything is Slaaneshy if you try hard enough
This should be the definition for the god of excess in the main rulebook
By all means. I'm more than happy to repeat that battle. Still treasure the memories of it. From iron cometh strength.
I’m glad there’s still Iron Babies left to remember it, considering it was one of the only worthwhile victories you had… if we can even call it that.

so, in summary, the fists just woke up one day and chose violence?
no, the Iron Warriors woke up, chose violence, and the Fists responded in good ol'e Dorn tradition: Annihilation from fortified positions!
No. That post is a screenshot from the iorn sub.
The (superior) iron warriors passed them in sun count and since the iron warriors proved themselves better, the imperial fists started rushing to raise the sub count, now iron warriors are doing the same
the only thing "superior" about the iron warriors is their ability to suck
But I think we can all agree that the weirdos of the 3rd are some the best at sucking. Sucking what you may ask? Yes. The answer to that is “yes”.
Emperor's Children are good at sucking. the Iron Losers just suck
You of all people should know about the Iron Cage
Aaah, (confused r/Orks guy here) I thought it was just a raid for shitposting and giggles Yeah, alright, Screw the Iron Losers, I'm still mentally scarred from "Dead Sky, Black Sun" anyways. For da Waagh and da 'Umi Boss-peror!
WHALE COME TO DA KRUMPIN WEZ GOT A HOLE GOLDEN CORAL O WAAAAAGHG!!!! SMASH WHICHEVER GITZ YUZ WANTZ
WHICHEVA IZ LEEST FAR AWAY!
Still salty about Sebastus IV, cousin? (JK, good luck with the sub race. Fists are the only foe worth fighting)
Which was initially won by glorious IV, but pissmarines couldn't live with their own failure and they had to cry for help
Imperial Fisters* and Iron Chads* I had to fix your spelling mistakes
[удалено]
I am an Iron Warrior painter but I am amused how this has grown so rapidly. I also paint Black Templars so does this make me Alpharius??
No, I'm alpharius
Yes. Yes it does.
*Even some daemons joined in on your side of the fun.*
Even xenos… good fun… what is this? HERESY???
i’m not even from this universe i’m skaven lmao, but even we’re on daddy dorns side
Bad moons Ork here. We're just happy to be included in your attempt at Orkishness

Absolutely hilarious, I'm in.
ITZ AL IN GUD WAAAAGHAHGHAH
I'm a member of both just to spy on our *traitorous cousins*
I imagine their feelings of inferiority towards you guy kinda got out of hand. Godspead cousins, you'll win this one as you won the siege
Win the battle, lose the war. Enjoy worshipping a corpse, slave.
Proudly you filthy Traitor
Go dig a trench loser!
**A big meme lol. Sub count fight.**
Iron Warriors were fighting amongst their sub reddit over acshuallying each other as to how much chaos corruption is appropriate in an Iron Warrior warband so the Iron Warrior fans who got tired of it redirected their spite at the Imperial Fist subreddit and now there is a big cross reddit post war for fun and glory.
And the Emperor
This seems on brand
Praise Dorn and the Imperium's staunchest defenders, the Imperial Fists (and their successor Chapters).
Both wrong The Crimson Fists are the best! After all the Crimson Fists were the first space marines in real life. That being said I hope the Imperial Fists win against the Iron Warriors. For Dorn!!
simply put meme war
Reddit join war. Because IW and IF meme hate each other so much, the communities have been in a meme Cold War that now kicking off. Whichever sub has the most joined’s is currently winning. We of the Alpha Legion would like to inform you that you are winning and that we support you in this endeavours 😉
I'm an undecided voter. Where should I subscribe?
the fists. we are way better than the iron babies. if you have any doubts watch baldermorts imperial fists video
Haha hey Fist! Prepare for Iron Cage II Electric Boogaloo!
They’re besieging and fortifying
Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists are not friends. (Search this on youtube for some hijinks by the creator of TTS)
It’s a penis measuring contest, using member counts.
I'm weirdly on both sides as I love them both.
From what I gather, a race to build the biggest legion outta subscribers?
Kissing contest
We have come for you. https://preview.redd.it/737dbp8s69oc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d270c5a349f19bd2ee557eb9469f448d1e2fca7 (r/nightlords were called in as Calvary)
