Overview

The Iron Knights are a crusading Chapter, they are one of the twelve Space Marine Chapters that send a champion to the centennial Feast of Blades, and are the only Chapter to have won on two consecutive occasions.³ A number of decades before the end of M41 a group of Iron Knights turned to Chaos. The Chapter voluntarily began a penitent crusade to bring them to justice.^{4, 5}

Notable Battles

• Tower of Blood. Commander Goedendag Morningstar sealed a warp rift on Minea.⁵
• Thirteenth Black Crusade. The Iron Knights fielded one company against the forces of Chaos in this campaign.² They initially fought in the trenches of Amistel Majoris alongside the Howling Griffons Chapter against the Death Guard Traitor Legion. By the third week of the crusade the planet was deemed secure enough that some of the Space Marines stationed there were redeployed to the Cadian system.⁴
