"*"We bring death, We bring destruction, We are Doom"*"
—- Rograd Jostrim, Chapter Master of the Doom Fists
The **Doom Fists** are a Loyalist Space Marine Successor Chapter created during the 23rd Founding, to so-called 'Sentinel Founding', from the lineage of the stoic and uncompromising Imperial Fists. Upon their inception, the newly created Chapter faced ill-fortune during its maiden voyage and disappeared into a warp rift. After a suitable period of time with no further communication, the Chapter was declared lost in the warp and mourned on Terra and the Bell of Lost Souls was rung 1,000 times - one dolorous ring for each lost battle-brother.

However, fate would eventually intervene and the lost Chapter would return back to the Imperial fold after missing for nearly two millennia, despite only a year and a half passing for the missing Chapter. Having undergone an ordeal of epic proportions, the Chapter had become hardened and stoic, to the point of aloofness. Their experience had changed the Chapter in profound ways and forever-after affected how the Chapter organised themselves and deployed into combat.

## Chapter History

Created during the 23rd Founding some time during M38, the Chapter was cursed with bad luck after being sucked into the warp during it's maiden voyage, whilst being accompanied by an Ultramarines Strike Cruiser. They didn't return until late M40, after being stuck on a daemon planet Morkhon holding off waves of Khornate daemons for nearly terran two thousand years. Despite having spent so long on Morkhon, mearly a year and a half had passed for the Astartes of the Doom Fists. Once they had returned, the Chapter had fundamentally changed, their demeanour, combat styles and respect for the Ultramarines.

### The Battle of Morkhon

When they were sucked into the rift, the Chapter's at the time, Flagship crashed onto the daemon planet. The rest of the chapter descended to the planet to help the 1st company. They stood their ground and constructed a fortress from the remains of ***Morus' Fist*** and successfully defended it. Wave upon endless wave of Khornate daemons and the Heretics of the renegade warband known as the Brimstone Wardens attack their position relentlessly. The battle ended when the Doom Fists Chapter Master Morus Korzion killed the Warband's leader Warpsmith Septis Annorax. Morus then faced and was overtaken by the Chaos Lord Attrax the Skullhacker. Upon Morus' death, the Chapter's hatred of the treacherous traitors renewed within their hearts and this avowed them to vanquish the rest of the heretics.

Rograd Jostrim who was second in command was then elevated to the rank of Chapter Master after the events. The Doom Fists were able to then depart from the corrupted planet, burying Morus' corpse deep within the crashed ship. To honour the sacrifice made by their first Chapter Master, the Doom Fists annihilated the world from orbit, leaving nothing left aside from the dust of a once warring daemon planet.

### Their Return

When they returned from the folds of the warp, they were nothing of those that entered. Having spent so long fighting against an unrelenting enemy had taught them attrition, never giving up even without a shard of hope in sight. They had also begun to fight as the heretics had, charging blindly and slaughtering all in their way, and for some strange reason, they had grown taller and bulkier, some even having to modify their armour to fit into it. They were heavily scrutinized by the members of the Ordo Hereticus, spending nearly five years fighting under the watch of the Grey Knights.
