The Battle of Crytor was a three-way conflict fought between the Imperium, Chaos, and Necrons in 601.M41.[1]

Overview

Brother-Captain Ramstorn Fane tracked the fabled Bloodwulf to the world of Crytor, the Khornate Daemon leaving a trail of burning worlds across the sector. In the ghost-filled ruins of the dead planet, Fane and his battle-brothers cornered the Daemon before a megalithic tomb of black glass. As the Bloodwulf and his Flesh Hounds turned to face the Space Marines, the seals on the tomb hissed open and metallic xenos warriors of marched forth.[1]

A bitter three-way combat erupted, with the Grey Knights fighting both Necrons and the Daemons of the Blood God. Fane finally managed to land the killing blow against the Bloodwulf as the Daemon tried to tear apart the Necron Lord. As the Daemon collapsed in on itself in a cloud of smoke and blood, the Brother-Captain readied himself for attack from the Necrons, only to find their lord lowering his weapon in what appeared to be an archaic gesture of parley. Deciding not to risk his remaining brothers against the xenos, Fane warily signals for them to withdraw, satisfied that their true quarry is no more.[1]
