Hey guys,
I was looking at the 'complete' ultramarine chapter bundle thing,
and thought it would be awesome if I could build at least a company
from the crimson fist chapter as a long-term project.
However, I have yet to discover an article on the internet, telling me
what the companies compose of.
So if any of you guys know what the any of the companies are like,
or you know of a website that does, I would greatly appreciate your
help!

Thanks,
Tod

Well if they are anything like any other marines then its in the fluff section of your codex:spess marhines (pg12)

Also its on lexicanum some where.

**Paradigm**

In general, it's like this:
1st Company: 100 veterans/terminators.

2nd-5th companies: 60 tacs, 20 ASM, 20 devs.

6th/7th: 100 tacs

8th: 100 ASM

9th: 100 Devs

10th: scouts (any number of squads really.

Command squads also feature in each company.

However, for the Crimson Fists, assuming you want to build them as 'current', they suffered massive losses at Rynn's World, where most of the chapter was destroyed, so 'at the moment' they have disproporiationately high numbers of vets and scouts. Of course, you could just do an army from before this event.

I believe they stand at around 400 in number now? That's probably then Veteran Company, two Battle Companies, and Scout Company. They're going to be smaller than a regular chapter because of the losses from Rynn's World.

Thanks for your replies!
Yes, i'm looking for a current number,
but all I found was that there are less
than 500 atm, and that the 1st company
composes of exactly 128 men.
But what I'm looking for, is a list of what
units are in this company, and maybe
others if such a list exists

**Pedro Kantor**

As you say,the 1st company ( Crusade Company in CF fluff ) has 128 veterans in it at the current time ( which will be divided between SGV | VGV and TDA vets ) as you see fit to build.

As to whats in the Battle company squad wise,they follow the codex,so it will be :

Command squad w/ Apoth and probably an attached Chaplain

6 Tac squads

2 Dev squads

2 Assault squads

Assorted Transports for the squad

1 or 2 Dreads

Assorted HS and AA tanks

Hope this is a little help.

I don't think there's any specifics beyond the "128 men in the first company" bit. Aside from the Ultramarines, I don't think there's any specific breakdowns of chapters or companies period.

**Super Ready**

Well, as they're concentrating on rebuilding, I think it's fair to assume they have the requisite number of Scouts. Also bear in mind that the 400 was due to losing 6 Companies on Rynn's World - the Scouts recruited since might well be *in addition* to that 400.

**SpyderG6**

They also have a greater # of specialists so I could see techmarines or MotF also being fluffy choices, but I can't find the exact source right now,

Another note is that there is no 1st company captain, that role is performed by Kantor himself
