Second War for Armageddon

The first war fought for the planet is perhaps the least known, and probably for good reason. Cultists worshipping the Chaos god Khorne broke out in rebellion during a Warp storm. Soon, a great space hulk appeared over the planet, containing none other than Angron, the Daemon Primarch of the World Eaters.

The daemonic legions quickly pushed the defenders back in an orgy of bloodshed, until help arrived in the form of the Space Wolves and the Grey Knights.

With the Wolves bolstering the defenses, the Grey Knights fought through to the center of the Daemonic horde, eventually banishing Angron and his army from the material world, leaving the cultists to be crushed by the Imperial counterattack.

But one final tragedy was to strike the planet. In order to preserve the secret of the Daemon Primarch, the entire population of Armageddon, as well as all the surviving soldiers, was rounded up, sterilized, and sentenced to work camps for the rest of their lives while a new population was brought to re-settle the planet. Logan Grimnar, the Great Wolf of the Space Wolves, has never forgiven the Administratum for carrying out such a betrayal of the men and women who fought for their world.
