Their defences broken, they fought to the end, detonating their position just at the moment of being completely overrun. The only known survivor was a single member of an attached Scout Squad.[1]
- 970.M41 - The Avenging Sons Third Company under Captain Gessart turned renegade after taking heavy casualties against a numberless enemy whilst fighting in the civil war on Helmabad. Deciding that being a renegade band was better than staying and dying for little worth, they led a revolt, killing their Chaplain and those battle brothers who would not follow them. The Third then negotiated with the traitors for safe passage to their Thunderhawk in return for leaving the planetary governor undefended. After fleeing the planet, which was struck by a Warp Storm forewarned by their Librarian, the Third Company painted over their Chapter badges and other Imperial symbols and set course for the Eye of Terror.[3][8]
- 992.M41 - Perun Cross Incident. Four Companies were sent to attack the Night Reapers after they were declared as excommunicate traitoris in 989.M41. The Avenging Sons contingent was soon forced to retreat due to the Night Reapers' use of 'warp-flame weapons' that bypassed their void shields, along with having one Strike Cruiser be boarded and captured by the rogue Chapter.[9]
- 998.M41 - First Taros Intervention.[2a][Note 1] A strike force of Avenging Sons fought in the war on Taros. Captain Armaros led the Taros Intervention Force in order to kill Planetary Governor Aulis, but they were surprised by the PDF forces and Tau warriors and failed.[2b]
