Egil Iron Wolf - Notable Campaigns: An Alliance Broken (895.M41) - When the Ork WAAAGH! of Grimtusk Bloodboila looked set to consume the entire Athelaq Sector, it is not only the Great Company of Egil Iron Wolf that stood in its path. A warhost of Aeldari Aspect Warriors fought hard to contain the Greenskin invasion in the northwest quadrant of the warzone, ultimately preventing the Space Wolves from becoming surrounded. Egil's tanks took a heavy toll on the Ork vanguard and, after solar weeks of bitter warfare, Warlord Grimtusk was killed and the WAAAGH! blunted. Later, Autarch Elenduil visited the throne room of Egil Iron Wolf with great ceremony, his bodyguard of Striking Scorpions respectfully bearing the recovered bodies of the fallen Space Wolves. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a parley over a parting gift turned sour at a single stray mis-translation. Insults were exchanged and blades drawn. The sudden violence of the ensuing fight was but a shadow of the destruction that followed as the sector descended into total war between the three factions.Battle of Centius Prime (897.M41) - In 897.M41 Egil and his Great Company fought alongside the Mantis Warriors Chapter in the Battle of Centius Prime when the Ork Warlord known as Big Boss Gigagob, led an invasion of the Feudal World of Centius Prime in search of loot. Gigagob had hoped to arm his forces for a planned WAAAGH!, but became furious when they found little technology more advanced than the crossbow, and afterwards indulged in a campaign of vengeful wrath on Centius Prime's population. The rampaging Orks were only halted by a combined force of the Space Wolves and Mantis Warriors Chapters answering the planet's astropathic distress call. The Space Wolves army was comprised of Egil Iron Wolf's Great Company, the Ironwolves.Siege of the Fenris System (ca. 999.M41) - Egil assisted the Great Wolf Logan Grimnar in the defence of the Fenris System from Magnus the Red and the Thousand Sons. As the Space Wolves fought legions of invading Daemons, they were met by an Imperial fleet with the Dark Angels fortress-monastery, The Rock, at its head. The fleet's commanders intended to bring the Wolf Lords to judgement for accepting the deviant Wulfen into their ranks. Tensions rose as the servant of Tzeentch, known as the Changeling, having infiltrated the Dark Angels, spurred the ancient rivals to war. The disguised Daemon announced that the Space Wolves had fired upon the Grey Knights vessels in the system, and that the savage Wulfen had turned on their Dark Angels allies. With no Wolf Lords present to defend the Space Wolves, Azrael, Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels, orders his fleet to bombard the Daemon-infested planets of the Fenris System, despite the fact that Space Wolves still fought on the surfaces of these worlds. On the hive world of Midgardia, the rain of fire was so extreme that the surface was reduced to a scorched wasteland, and billions of its citizens were obliterated. By a strange twist of fate, Logan Grimnar and Egil Iron Wolf were trapped below the surface and avoided the destruction of the Exterminatus. Eventually escaping from the surface of Midgardian, Egil Iron Wolf would take part in the final concerted attack against the Daemon Primarch Magnus the Red, upon the surface of Fenris. The Space Wolves and their allies from the Dark Angels and the Grey Knights throw everything they have against the Daemon Primarch. Egil was killed by Magnus after firing a Lascannon at him, only for the Daemon Primarch to freeze the shot in the air and lift him in front of the blast. The laser hit Egil's upper body and completely disintegrated him. This gruesome end to Egil's saga buys Grimnar the opening he needs. Pouncing from his chariot, the Great Wolf called out a challenge to Magnus before hewing the Daemon Primarch's chest with the Axe Morkai. As Magnus howled in pain, Grey Knights Purifiers chanted rites of banishment, and in a blinding explosion, Magnus was expelled from Fenris.
