General Grizmund was the commanding officer of the Narmenian Armoured regiments taking part in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade. Holder of a distinguished reputation, Grizmund is best known for his actions during the Siege of Vervunhive.
History
Reputed to be an excellent commander of armour, General Grizmund entered the Crusade as a Colonel, but was promoted during the Cociaminus campaign of 760-762.M41[1a]. In 769.M41 Grizmund led a unit of Narmenian Armour to the world of Verghast, where he fought in the defence of Vervunhive. During the Second Storm of the embattled Hive City he, along with his entire command staff, was arrested by the Vervun Primary Hive Commissariat, the local military police, for taking an unauthorized route to the battlefield. While the situation looked grim for a while, Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt eventually stepped in and had the charges dismissed; Grizmund was returned to his command[Needs Citation].
The Narmenian Armoured regiment Grizmund led at Vervunhive was made up of 127 Leman Russ Battle Tanks, 27 Demolishers, 42 Salamanders and a small number of Sentinel walkers and attached infantry, and with it General Grizmund managed to win considerable distinction in the campaign[Needs Citation].
Particularly of note was during "Operation Dercius", when a manoeuver Grizmund coined "The Scissors" was used to devastating effect. During this engagement the Naremenian Armour totally annihilated a much larger Zoican armoured force, losing only two tanks in the process. Grizmund was further able to mount a successful counterattack on Veyveyr Gate, driving the Zoican forces out from under the city's force shield[Needs Citation].
Fall of Malvolion
An Imperial Guard Colonel of Paladian armour named Grizmund was killed while defending the planet of Malvolion from a Tyranid Invasion, fighting alongside Mordian Iron Guard and a Pyhruss Regiment.3
It is unlikely this character is the same as General Grizmund of the Narmenian Armour, even though both are the creations of the same author.
