![[4th-battalion.png]] *Added to the Codex on* ***April 16th, 2024*** --- ### Quotes "Our fight isn't about today. Or tomorrow. It's about the world to come."[^1] - 4th Battalion "The Red Hand will soon take hold of your battlefields. Resistance will be met with suffocation. Submission will be rewarded with life."[^2] - 4th Battalion "The 4th Battalion is known by the moniker 'The Red Hand' within Coalition Ground Forces. Not exactly subtle, but then, neither are their methods."[^2] - Legion Commander <br> ### Description The [[Thousand Petals Coalition|TPC's]] 4th Battalion is one of the most reputable and feared battalions within the Coalition Ground Forces. As the Thousand Petals Coalition pushes their frontlines across the globe, 4th Battalion, known more commonly as "The Red Hand," has played a pivotal role in delivering victory after victory, expanding the TPC's control around the globe. Their reputation is not by chance: the 8,000 soldiers that make up the battalion are carefully curated, with each soldier selected based on the number of enemies killed in combat. Even their designation of 4th is intentional, with the Japanese word for four being strikingly similar to the word for death. As a part of [[Operation - Crimson Front|Operation: Crimson Front]], the 4th Battalion's regiments were deployed to battlefields in Chile, Czechia, India, Panama, Scotland, and South Africa.
