Another 40k story where I'm pretty sure I should know these characters but it's hard to trace from where. Looks like they appear in one other ADB short? And the events referenced have to do with Rynn's World. Still, pretty nice little near-Noble-Bright snippet from the master of grimdark himself, ADB.

A very short story about Crimson Fists visiting their fallen brothers.

That's it. Not much else. It's ADB, so it's great.

A brilliant short story that offers a solemn and lesser seen side of the Space Marines when the Crimson Fists commemorates those who have recently fallen. A powerful and emotional story.
