 40K Online - The Imperial Fists
The Imperial Fists were therefore a rarity in that Battle Brothers and Primarch were united very early in their service to the Emperor and quickly formed an unbreakable bond.
The Imperial Fists were ever at the Emperor's side and the Iron Warriors were part of Horus' vanguard.
Without the fire of battle to engage them, Rogal Dorn and the Imperial Fists hovered on the brink - the Emperor was gone and now it seemed that their very brotherhood was to be sundered.

The Imperial Fists are one of the most respected Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes.
Alongside the Ultramarines, the Imperial Fists have become the epitome of Codex doctrine.
The Imperial Fists combine all arms in flexible balanced battle groups, each of which can present an opponent with a diversity of threats, then press their attack so swiftly that the foe is overwhelmed before he can react.

 Imperial Fists - Lexicanum
The Imperial Fists were one of the three chapters who defended the Emperor's Palace during the Horus Heresy, in fact, it was only due to the intervention and self-sacrifice of a squad of Imperial Fist Terminators that allowed the Emperor to strike down Horus.
The Imperial Fists, however, were among the slowest of the Chapters to co-operate with the tenets of the Codex Astartes written by the Primarch of the Ultramarines, Roboute Guilliman.
The Imperial Fists, like the Iron Warriors, were siege masters and as such rely greatly on artillery and heavy weapons, although not to the extent of their traitorous former brethren.

The Ushanti and their Imperial Fists watchers lived a largely separate existence, the Ushanti avoiding the southern regions and the Imperial Fists monastery style fortress and the Imperial Fists keeping to themselves and leaving the Ushanti largely to their own affairs.
The Imperial Fists themselves, the Ushanti recruits and the current Warmaster debated the matter for a number of years but ultimately it was referred back to Terra itself and those closest to the Golden Throne for guidance on what should be done.
In return the Imperial Fists unfurled a great white banner upon which no mark or design could be seen and handed it into the care of Sharif Jontar, the initial Khali and now the Chapter Master of the newly founded Sand Jackals.

 Index Astartes
Even as Horus' forces assaulted the Imperial palace at the end of the Heresy, Rogal Dorn chose a warrior from the ranks of his Imperial Fists to be the first Emperor's Champion.
Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the Imperial Fists, responsible for the defense of Terra itself, refused to have his legion broken down into smaller chapters, stating that it was his sacred duty to protect the Emperor and he could not afford to split his forces across the Imperium.
When the Imperial Fists began to be violently persecuted for their supposed heresies, and the strike cruiser Terrible Angel was fired upon by the Imperial Navy, it was almost inevitable that once more internecine war would engulf the Space Marines and the Imperium.

After a certain level of proficiency is acquired in the practice of the Five Element Fists, the student goes on to learn the twelve Animal and linked forms.
For example, although the Tiger Form and the Monkey Form are both variations of Pi Quan (Splitting Fist), their strategies and techniques manifest differently, changing in accordance with the nature of the animal they represent.
It is also important to note that because it is the flavor of the animal's intent and not their particular movements which is assimilated into the forms, the movements of the Five Element Fists and Twelve Animal Forms can all be done with the intent of a single animal.

My impression of the Imperial Fists is "lots of heavy weapons" (Milton Bradley's Space Crusade has something to do with that, btw)- so instead of a stock bolter, I upgraded this Captain model with a heavy stubber.
Since the Imperial Fists shoulder pads were not available at the time, I used any decals I could find.
This "fist and crossbones) is from the Epic Imperial forces decal set.

 Imperial Fists
They retain their traditional skills in urban and siege warfare, although they are quite willing to engage and defeat the enemy in open battle.
Their only weakness is perhaps a reluctance to accept the possibility of defeat that sometimes blinds them to risk.

 Imperial Fists Supremacy Force
The Fists boxed set gives the player a ready made 1500pt army all ready to paint and use.
None of the miniatures in the set are new as such but are old miniatures that have been re-designed by some of the new sculptors on the design team (including artist supreme Mike McVey.) and the addition of extra shoulder pads and icons for the bikes makes them unique.
All in all the Imperial Fists Supremacy Force is a great way to start off in the hobby and an excellent way to build up those Space Marine armies.

 Shaolin Kung Fu History
His 72 Fists (methods/Skills etc) were so successful that all Shaolin monks adopted his 72 Fists very quickly.
Over the next few years they, using the 18 fists, the 72 movements and these 'pressure point grappling/wrestling techniques', redeveloped Shaolin Kung Fu into the 170 exercises, a mixture of 72 Fists expanded with pressure point and grappling/wrestling/throwing techniques.
Be it in Shaolin Wu Shu, be is Shaolin derived Kung Fu/Wing Chung or even the 'Fist of China' as was Karate once known; Shaolin is in the spirit and heart not in the strength of your punch and as such should be celebrated.

As every section of the Imperial military was pulled into the heresy, a full third of the Legions Astartes were recalled to destroy Horus.

 Imperial Fists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Legion excelled in siege warfare, both in attack and defence and before the Heresy the newly-dubbed Warmaster Horus joked that a war between his legion and the Imperial Fists would last for all eternity, "the best in attack matched by the best in defense".
It was this reputation that impressed the Emperor in the later days of the Crusade, and the Legion acted as his Praetorian Guard until the creation of the Adeptus Custodes.
There was also a passing mention of the Soul Drinkers in the Black Templars codex, however they were not explicitly stated to be a Space Marine Chapter, nor a Second Founding Chapter based on the Imperial Fists.
