Sure do! Rogal Dorn and his Imperial Fists were instrumental in defending the Emperor's Palace from Horus and his traitors during the Heresy. Adeptus Titanicus, page 9: "And on the 55th day of the battle, the Traitor Legions and their Titan allies reached the walls of the Inner Palace. Despite acts of insane valour by the loyalists, victory was within Horus's grasp. As the Outer Palace was abandoned to the rebels, the Emperor acted. An elite company of Adeptus Custodes and Imperial Fist marines teleported into the Warmaster's command bunker. They were lead by the Emperor himself." Later, revisionist (or pehaps more accurate?) history would record the brave deeds of Sanguinius and the Blood Angels. Indeed, if you picked up the Warmaster game that came free in White Dwarf, both the Blood Angels _and_ the Imperial Fists (and their respective Primarchs) took part in the action. According to that later account, as the Emperor lay dying in Rogal Dorn's arms, he psychically transmitted the design for the Golden Throne into Dorn's mind. Pete
