The Battle of Saint Augustinia's Tomb occurred in M42, when the Crusade Force of Canoness Avia Pureheart and the Black Legion forces of Haarken Worldclaimer fought each other, to claim the holy power armour of the Imperial Saint Augustinia.[1]

However in order to be the first to reach the Saint's tomb where the Armour resided, Haarken led his Chaos Raptors and the winged Daemon Prince Ar'baal ahead of his main forces. This left him unsupported and outnumbered, though, as Avia's Order of Our Martyred Lady's Crusade Force converged upon the tomb. Soon only Haarken was left, but then he was fired upon by an Exorcist and disappeared in a fiery explosion. With their leader presumed to be dead, Haarken's Chaos Space Marines and Cultists attempted to reach the Saint's tomb but blocked by the Canoness' forces. The surviving Cultists then fled after witnessing many of their masters being slain and the Crusade Force was victorious when the last Chaos Space Marine was killed.[1]
