The Brotherhood of the Fist is renowned within the Chapter for its uncompromising aggression, favouring the mailed gauntlet over the subtle blade. Its Grand Master schools his warriors to strike as a single unbreakable mass, trusting that a sudden concentration of force can sunder any foe before the horrors of the Warp can fully manifest.
Equipped for close and brutal war, the Brotherhood fields a heavy proportion of Terminators and armoured champions, their advance a slow and inexorable tide of silver. In battle they seek out the strongest point of the enemy line, for it is the Fist's creed that to break the mightiest is to break the will of all who follow it.
Though the deeds of the Grey Knights are known to almost none, the Brotherhood of the Fist has left its mark upon countless battlefields since scoured from memory, its passing recorded only in the sealed archives of the Chapter and in the silence of the worlds it has saved.
Grey Knights
Order of battle
The Brotherhood of the Fist field the units of the Grey Knights — a detachment from the roster:
Kindred formations
Other Grey Knights formations
Brotherhood of the FlameThe Brotherhood of the Flame carries the light of purity into the darkest places of the galaxy. Its warriors are noted for their zeal and their mastery of cleansing fire, both the literal flame of the incinerator and the searing psychic radiance of their disciplined minds. Where corruption has taken root and must be burned away utterly, the Flame answers, leaving nothing behind that the enemy might use.
Brotherhood of the SwordThe Brotherhood of the Sword is regarded as the exemplar of the Chapter's martial artistry, its warriors masters of the force blade and the disciplined psychic strike. Balanced in all things, it can fight as readily at range as in the press of close combat, and its champions are counted among the finest swordsmen the Imperium has ever fielded. It stands as the model against which the other Brotherhoods measure themselves.
The PurifiersThe Purifiers are a specialist order of Grey Knights whose members possess a rare and profound clarity of soul, making them the purest warriors in a Chapter already renowned for its purity. Drawn from every Brotherhood by right of merit rather than assigned by lineage, they undertake the Chapter's most sacred and dangerous exorcisms. Wherever corruption festers most deeply, the Purifiers are called upon to burn it away with holy flame and cleansing psychic fire.
The RapiersThe Sixth Brotherhood of the Grey Knights, masters of the surgical strike and the deadliest of small-scale wars.
The WardmakersThe Third Brotherhood of the Grey Knights, keepers of ancient wards and cradle of the Chapter's greatest heroes.
