Founded late in the M35 the Iron Wardens were founded partly as a possible counter to the marines that were now rouge due to the Moirae Schism. While these outcasts would go on to prove themselves loyal as the Sons of Medusa, the Iron Wardens themselves would go to prove themselves as tactically brutal Space Marines.

Like their forebears the Wardens have close a relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus. This not only allows the chapter to use and maintain advanced weapons and vehicles but often the chapter will march alongside the Skitarii and other forces of Mars. This however leads the chapter to accept numerous missions from the Mechanicus often without questioning the orders given. This has lead to clashes with other parties chaos, xeno and alike.

The chapter doesn't follow the codex as far as chapter organisation goes. They are ruled by a chapter council rather than a chapter master. Veterans are spread across all companies and the duties of scouts are carried out by experienced battle brothers. Four battle companies with 200 battle brothers each, which are reinforced by reserve companies of 80 men. This gives the chapter the ability to hit harder than codex compliant chapters. But at the same time it means the chapter must choose which calls for assistance it responds to.

The chapter dreadnoughts are formed into the 9th company. Lead by the most senior of their number, the founder of the Iron Wardens Kentaro. The 9th rarely deploy as one they are usually assigned to strike forces lead by a venerable dreadnought.

Chapter History
The Moirae Schism was the largest internal conflict to plague the Adeptus Mechanicus, the fighting spreading across the galaxy long after the rebellious worlds destruction. The Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes with close ties to the cult where the most heavily affected of those outside the organisation. Many different solutions where undertaken by each of the chapters affected, while some such as the Red Talons destroyed the rebels immediately, their founding chapter took a unique approach. The Iron Hands council voted in favour of exile. However, this vote wasn’t unanimous. Iron Captain Kentaro of Clan company Sorrgol had argued against such action, stating that allowing these marines to leave with no censer or mission would simply leave them to cause them to raid and loot in order to survive at best and at worst could cause the heretical doctrine to spread further, causing a grater schism within the Mechanicus.

After the Moirae Iron Hands had been removed from Medusa the Voice of Mars approached Captain Kentaro with an offer.The higher ups of the Adeptus Mechanicus and a significant number of High Lords and Inquisitors had taken an interest in how the Iron Hands had dealt with the situation. Similar concerns had arisen in the various organisations over the release of Marines that embraced an edict that had been declared heretical by the proper authorities, as such there had been a vote to create a new chapter in the next founding of Space Marines of Iron Hand decent. They would serve as a counter force if the Moirae Marines turned against the Imperium,
