Pyrrhic traitor victory Dantioch holds the fortress of Schadenhold for 366 days; when it falls, the loyalists flee to Terra.

An internecine feud among the Iron Warriors: the loyal Warsmith Barabas Dantioch held the fortress of Schadenhold on Lesser Damantyne for 366 solar days against the traitor Krendl and his 14th Grand Company. The fortress fell only when the traitors fielded an Imperator-class Titan, but Dantioch’s survivors teleported aboard the enemy flagship and fled to Terra.
