NOVA FISTS for Warhammer 40,000
A Sub-Chapter of Imperial Fists – Plays as Imperial Fists

Painted by Joe Johnson and members of the NOCF Artists’ Consortium
Supporting: Breast Cancer Research Foundation

“NOVA FISTS” was a labor of love, created specifically to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the NOVA Open Tabletop Wargaming Convention. Resplendent in NOVA Open Orange, this army is a sub-chapter of Imperial Fists and will play as Imperial Fists.

NOVA defined can mean something that grows in brightness or from a new star.  Both would apply to the NOVA fists chapter.  Embroiled in battle on the planet Arthas with the traitorous Death Guard, the Imperial fists we’re hit with waves of blasphemous filth.  First came the storm of blood that laid low the great majority of Imperial Fists.  Those that survived were unable to remove the red taint, forever staining their glorious armor orange.  Second came the banishment. 

When Company Ancient Brandt slayed the enemy Demon Prince Kol-Dek, the psychic backlash was so great it cast every Imperial Fist left standing into the warp.  Eons later a bright light, or new star, broke forth from the darkness in the Obscura sector.  From this star came the remains of the NOVA Fists.  Now, slowly growing their numbers, they vow to keep their armor orange until the day they slay the Demon Prince Malek Vos and destroy the demon tainted planet of Arthos.  Only then will they return to their original yellow chapter colors.  Only then will they know they have avenged their brethren.

Join us in thanking Joe Johnson and his team, many of whom are veterans of the NOCF Artists’ Consortium and a few who are joining this eminent group of artists for the first time in 2019.
