Traitor victory The entropic migration of the hrud annihilates the Iron Warriors’ garrison.

The 51st Expeditionary Fleet of the Iron Warriors under Warsmith Barabas Dantioch met a gigantic migration of hrud xenos. On the fortress-world of Gholgis the hrud infiltrated and destroyed the garrison, their entropic fields ageing Astartes to dust; the worlds of Krak Fiorina, Stratopolae and Gholgis were lost, and the crippled Dantioch was exiled to the garrison of Lesser Damantyne.
