Steel Confessors

The Steel Confessors is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter and successor of the Iron Hands of an unknown Founding. They have been referred to as the “crippled Steel Confessors Chapter”. It is known that the Night Lords Heretic Astartes Talos Valcoran had taken a replacement ceramite plate for the thigh of his damaged power armour from a suit of battle-plate that had belonged to an Astartes of the Steel Confessors. The Chapter may have been secretly founded during the 36th Millennium by the Adeptus Mechanicus for its own use from the gene-seed of the Iron Hands. After their discovery by the Inquisition, the Steel Confessors were forced to become an independent Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes.
