Iron Talons Astartes

Iron Talons Chapter Colour Scheme as displayed by a Firstborn Space Marine.

The Iron Talons is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter raised during an unknown Founding as a successor of the White Scars.

The Iron Talons are members of the Astartes Praeses -- one of the 20 Chapters of Astartes mentioned in the ancient tome known as the Mythos Angelica Mortis -- that were created to defend the regions surrounding the Eye of Terror in the Segmentum Obscurus from the forces of Chaos.

Chapter Appearance[]

Chapter Colours[]

The Iron Talons wear predominately black power armour. The Aquila or Imperialis on the chest plate, as well as the arms, are silver.

The yellow squad specialty symbol -- battleline, close support, fire support, Veteran or command -- is indicated on the right shoulder guard.

A black High Gothic numeral centred on the squad specialty symbol indicates squad number.

This fearsome Chapter is noted for appearing barbarous-looking as its battle-brothers have a morbid tendency to drape their enemies' flayed skin on their battle plate.

Chapter Badge[]

The Iron Talons' Chapter badge is a stylised metallic silver raptor's talon, outstretched to grasp its prey, centred upon a black roundlet on a field of yellow.
