Anyone know what a Crimson Fists 1st Company would looks like for the sake of trying to make a fluffy Fists army?
From what I've read its supposed to be kept at 128 marines, however I've also found that after Rynn's World at the turn of the millennium they were fielding 4 "reduced" companies (all according to the wiki page).
Would I be right to assume that the first company may be at half strength meaning around 60 marines?
Would they have an honour guard or a command squad or both?
Would they have Vanguard Veterans and Terminators or just Sternguard?
Thanks

Probably mostly composed of Sternguards(I highly doubt there are many Vanguards). They also have a disproportionately high amount of Techmarines and Apothecaries.

Ok, I'm gonna assume since Pedro doesn't have artificer armour they won't have honour guard as they have to come with artificer armour. and it doesn't make sense for the chapter master not to have it but his guards do.
Would they have Terminator armour?
Any idea what their vehicle of choice would be? Rhinos? Razorbacks? The wiki says they're mostly used as infiltrators and guerilla fighters to mitigate casualties so I doubt they'd use things like land raiders, maybe not even drop pods.
