The Icon of the Iron Cage are icons crafted millennia ago by the Imperial Fists, named after the siege against the Iron Warriors.

Legend says that in memory of the Imperial Fists' great battle against the Iron Warriors and their rebirth as a Chapter, a handful of survivors of that time crafted Icons of the Iron Cage. No one knows if these stories are true. However, there are a few talismans used by Imperial Fists in the Jericho Reach Deathwatch that bear a resemblance.

Whether or not they are the very same Icons crafted millennia ago there is no way of telling, but their inspiring effects on the Battle-Brothers that wear them cannot be denied. The Icon is a talisman worn on power armour and reminds the Battle-Brother of the strength of faith and unity his Chapter displayed against the traitor legions, and how that strength still flows through his Chapter today.
