Background
The Red Talons are a Second Founding successor chapter of the Iron Hands[5]; their home world of Raikan lies within the Segmentum Tempestus.[6] The chapter's power armour is red with black trim, the chapter symbol a set of red birds talons on a black circular background.[7]
The Chapter's history likely involves that of Medusa's Clan Morragul, as they share the same symbol.
