Grimoyr is a planet in the Sabbat Worlds which was occupied by the forces of Chaos.[1]
History
During the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, the Imperial campaign to reclaim the planet began around 764.M41, at least a year prior to the Battle of Balhaut, but ground on with little success. After his succession of Warmaster Slaydo, Macaroth handed command of the theatre to Lord General Noches Sturm, commander of the Royal Volpone 50th. It took Sturm only a week to achieve his promised victory, thanks to skillful use of his armoured support, and, confronting the forces of Magister Sharenidy in the capital city, Malthus, triumphed. Sharenidy killed himself rather than be captured.[1]
Sturm would write of the Grimoyr campaign, "after this, all battles will be easy, all victories simple, all glories hollow."[2a] Ironically, Sturm would later be disgraced during the Siege of Vervunhive on Verghast, by his gross negligence (including a signal failure to employ the amoured units under his command)[2b] and his cowardice in the face of the enemy.[2c]
