The Battle on Xerko XXI was fought between the Blood Angels and the Ork pirates of Warboss Grimskar.[1]

Overview

In the midst of the frost currents of Xerko XXI, it was the arrival of the Archangels Vanguard Veterans that turned the tide of battle against the orks. Jumping from the planet’s halo-zone, the Archangels plumetted down through five miles of raging ion-winds and furious Ork anti-aircraft fire, protected only by their Power Armour. Even so, many survived to land atop Grimskar’s rust-ship and cut their way in, hacking down the Warboss and his hundred-strong bodyguard. It is unknown if Grimskar was killed in this battle or managed to escape.[1]
