Loyalist victory The Space Wolves exterminate the 39th Millennial of the III Legion.

A Space Wolves strike force exterminated the 39th Millennial of the III Legion, taking the Winter Palace at Vykstag by storm in the campaign for the Brozyn-Primaris sector. The decapitated Baztel III then plunged into a genocidal civil war; on the withdrawal the Wolves clashed inconclusively with unidentified Black Shields.
