Oleg van Mises was an Astra Militarum Lord Commissar, whose Regiments were sent to destroy an Ork Waaagh! in 84761.M41.[1]

A Raven Guard strike force, led by Captain Adivarius, also aided in the battle against the Orks, but Mises saw they were far from the front lines when the Waaagh! was destroyed. He assumed that the Astra Militarum alone had defeated the Xenos and Mises sent a light-hearted communique to Adivarius, celebrating this fact. The Lord Commissar and his forces were honoured for their victory, but after receiving Mises' communique, the Raven Guard contacted the Militarum regarding the battle. It was in fact they who had destroyed the Waaagh!, as the Militarum was unaware that a Raven Guard Company had been fighting behind the Orks' battle lines. This had caused the Waaagh! to collapse and once the truth was revealed, Mises and his forces were stripped of their honours. These under-equipped Guardsmen were then quickly redeployed to fight the Tau Empire's Battlesuits, in the Damocles Gulf, while the Lord Commissar was executed for besmirching the honour of the Raven Guard.[1]
