The Humbling was a battle waged by the Iron Warriors.[1]

Overview

Endt Thrinn, Governor of Inviolus, completes his dynasty’s planet fortress network. In a drunken stupor, he boasts that his home planet is now unassailable. Agents of the Alpha Legion relay this claim to their Iron Warriors, and soon Lord Mandrakk assaults the world with a large fleet. Instead of attacking Inviolus directly, he invades the nearby agri world of Dalathro’s Rest.[1]

However, the Agri-world is well-defended by Imperial Guard. Mandrakk bombards it from orbit whilst launching boarding actions against every craft bound for Inviolus. Within the year the people of Inviolus are crippled by starvation. Though reinforcement arrives in the form of a company of Mentor Legion Space Marines, Mandrakk has ensured that Inviolus’ halfstarved defence forces are easy prey for forces. The planet is seized and repurposed as a Chaos base.[1]
