Traveling through the Warhammer world, but I didn’t cry.

After the Heresy ended, the survivors of the Iron Hands began to examine the reasons why the Battle of Isstvaan was a complete failure.

After a lot of discussions and adding details, the Iron Hands believed that Ferus' own excessive power and momentary emotional misjudgment ultimately ruined everything in the Legion.

They could have used carefully crafted heavy weapons and dark technology to destroy all the enemies surrounding them, but Ferus, in the fury of Fulgrim's betrayal, actually chose to lead his troops in a frontal assault and gave up the defensive plan of building a position.

Therefore, the Iron Hands' brass believes that the Legion should not and will not be allowed to be permanently ruled by a single man again. The Iron Council, composed of the various Iron Fathers, became the core of the Iron Hands, and the Chapter Master was just a tool selected by the Iron Council to lead the troops.

However, on the surface, the Iron Hands still fully maintained the majesty of the Chapter Master. After all, they signed the Codex Astartes, the only guide for Space Marine operations after the Heresy. Although the major version of Codex Astartes 2.0 has been promoted in the Great Mess Hall and the Ultramar sector, the Iron Hands at the other end are building a battle group based on the requirements of Codex Astartes.

The localization and transformation of the Codex Astartes in the original chapter is not a new thing, and the same is true for the Iron Hands.

The Iron Hands did not use the Holy Code according to the script. The highly pragmatic thinking that pervaded the hearts of the Iron Hands caused the Holy Code to be analyzed and improved by the Iron Father as soon as it landed on Medusa. Absorbing the reasonable parts of the Holy Code, retaining and improving the old traditions and models of the Iron Hands, and finally organically combining the two to form a highly rigorous and organized war group structure.

The Iron Hands secretly took the best and discarded the dross, while on the surface they wanted to maintain a correct political stance to prevent doubts from other departments in the empire.

For example, the all-pervasive Inquisition. In order to reassure the Inquisition, each company of the Iron Hands Chapter is a standard hundred-man company. The Iron Council also secretly collected the battle data of the Chapter for thousands of years and compared it with the requirements of the Holy Code, and finally discovered and formulated a series of plans and amendments. In the original timeline, Guilliman's return inspired the Iron Council, who submitted all documents to Guilliman.

However... the empire's ultra-long-distance communication is based on the astropaths. Those messy messages that were lucky enough to escape the subspace turbulence and intercepted by demons were analyzed by the astropaths, and finally turned into reasonable but nonsense Bizarre riddles.

Now if they have any information they want to submit to Guilliman, Lin Fan will ask the Death Army to teach Medusa's Astropath a more efficient and safe way to cast psychic spells.

The son of a Space Marine's behavior must be inseparable from his primarch father.

As a primarch, Ferus did not completely unify his home planet Medusa.

Medusa is in the fourth orbit of the Sterneros system from the inside out. This barren planet and eight other planets and a bunch of asteroid dust belts orbit an unstable blue supergiant star. The most common thing in the galaxy is all kinds of disasters released by stars. The barren Medusa is already the safest harbor in this dangerous environment.

The sky over Medusa is forever dark, with frozen mountains, volcanic ridges, and boiling geysers weaving together thick clouds that the sun cannot penetrate. But this is a gift from the planet to protect life. Without the obstruction of this layer of clouds, life on the planet would not be able to survive the gamma rays and solar wind of the blue supergiant.

Most areas stay below freezing all year round, and permafrost is everywhere that is so hard that it can break a pickaxe. Underneath the planet's icy shell is an overactive heart. Abnormal plate activity causes the orogeny on Medusa to be extremely violent. New mountains rise every year, and precious minerals underground are also brought to the surface. .

The cruel environment shaped a cruel culture. Before Ferus came to the planet through the rift, the local people had already mastered Medusa's temperament.

Tribes organized into clans are everywhere. In order to survive on Medusa, each tribe has a warlike and martial culture. Coupled with the local harsh toxic air and dangerous environment, every local resident of Medusa has undergone mechanical transformation.

The ever-changing natural environment makes it impossible for conventional building communities to appear. The people of Medusa rely on experience and equipment to predict the arrival of natural disasters, and then load all their properties onto vehicles and move them quickly before the destruction comes, just like a tribe in the wasteland. .

At that time, Ferus admired the enthusiasm of the various clans of Medusa to fight endlessly. After gaining control of the Iron Hand Legion, he named the ceremony for selecting new recruits of the Legion the Iron Moon.

Since then, all clans will gather the best young people in their clans under the Fergaze Mountains during the Iron Moon and then fight with the young people of other clans. The Iron Father and Iron Priest, who were responsible for recruiting soldiers, stood aside to observe the bloody fighting and select the children they recognized.

After entering the galaxy, Ferus saw too much blood and cruelty. He began to think about the meaning of his existence and realized that the Iron Hands' hatred of flesh and blood was so unhealthy.

To hate what is natural and what is human is the first and greatest act of depravity.

If you deny your arm today, you will deny the human race tomorrow.

At the end of the Great Crusade, Ferus lamented that his physical flaws had led his descendants to go astray. After the war, he planned to clean up the silver metal wrapped around his arms, eliminate the hatred of the various clans on Medusa, and stabilize the Blue Superstar. The situation makes Medusa a paradise worth enjoying life.

But before he could do this, he was struck by a dump truck from the Heresy, becoming the first Primarch to fall. The legion pyramid system built with Ferus as the core collapsed, forming broken groups of various sizes. And the people of Medusa are racing toward increasingly extreme social Darwinism.

In the past and present, the Iron Hands would not stop the clan friction on the planet. On the contrary, they believed that this kind of war would forge Medusa into becoming stronger and stronger.

Fulgrim absorbed the memory fragments of Ferrus when he killed him and countless clones. These things gave Fulgrim a deeper understanding of Ferrus, and also allowed him to convey Ferrus to Stunus. Si’s true meaning.

"The flesh and blood are weak, but the will is eternal. Adhere to human nature and have an iron-clad heart. Don't forget the essence and mission of being a human being."
