The Imperial Fists are a First Founding chapter of yellow guys. Descended from Rogal Dorn, they the forefathers of the blue guys with red hands, as well as the in-game Angry Marines. They aren't as angry as the Angry Marines, but they get the shit done. Unlike some people.
Basically they're the true Vanilla Marines, albeit the most badass vanilla marines ever.
History
They also have a strange fetish for the pain glove. The weird thing is that it isn't even a glove. Apparently, it's just a fucking bodysuit hung on a gibbet or something that hurts you a lot. The name probably comes from "body glove" instead of the glove that goes on your hand. They appear in the Ultramarines movie, ostensibly to teach aforementioned smurfs how to get the shit done, or probably steal the movie from the smurfs and make the Theater explode due to epicness and faithful Imperium subjects yelling as many literal one liners of 40k when they see the motherfucking Imperial Fists. Also, John Hurt plays a IF chaplain in said film. Thus further solidifying that Imperial Fists = Awesome. Sadly, due to the amount of Smurf Fanboyism in said film, they die and some scrawny Ultramarine recruit saves the day instead. Which is fucking retarded.
They were the first to personally guard the Emperor before the Custodes during the Great Crusades (totally wrong, man). Not only that, their Primarch personally carried the Emperor's fucked up body all the way to the Golden Throne. A master of siege warfare and construction, in some paintings, Rogal Dorn is also portrayed as having a moustache. This naturally solidifies his position as demigod. He died after skullfucking an entire Chaos armada with a handful of Marines in rowboats he built in a cave, with a box of scraps.
How smurfs became more famous for writing a book about how to be a Space Marine than the chapter who did all the shit for/with the Emperor, the Imperium may never know.
If you still doubt that the Imperial Fists are awesome, then look at this guy, Captain Darnath Lysander. You see Lysander was a Terminator, he and almost the entire first company teleported down on a planet, all regular business, but the Chaos Cultists used the warp to send most of the company into a mountain side (Good excuse for not loading the P-code into their GPS!). Just as planned. Lysander found the Company Captain dieing, but before he died he gave him the thunder hammer named, Fist of Dorn. After that, Lysander was named 1st Company Captain, he did so much crazy shit most people thought he was insane, but he was just awesome. Lysander lead a force of Fists into a warp stormed planet, hey not his best move but nobody is perfect. Many thought Lysander and all those with him died, but they re-emerged out of the Warp in a hijacked Iron Warrior Ship. You see Lysander and his force were taken prisoner by the Iron Warriors. Eventually Lysander, without weapons or armour, escaped and fought his way out to freedom. When he returned to the Imperial Fists Chapter, several centuries had passed in the material universe. After they made sure he wasn't corrupted by the years he spent in that god forsaken place, Lysander to back his position as Captain of the 1st Company. Lysander then lead a force to fuck up the Iron Warriors, and killed them all, thereby achieving vengeance. Not forgetting he likes to hunt Titans on foot, getting his Titanhammer squads to reduce them to extra parts for use in the TV show "Scrapyard Wars".
In short, Lysander is badass, hes not perfect, hes no smurf, but he is still awesome, and don't believe me, check Lexicanum out; http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Lysander. And he's tough as shit: 4 wounds @ 2+/3++ with eternal warrior to boot. And his hammer is arguably one of the best anti-tank weapons in the game. Nope, nothin' wrong here. Here is their theme, done by HMKids, Fucking Awesome!
