*'''688.[[M40]]:''' — The [[Second Abonian Genocide]]*'''444.[[M41]]:''' — [[First War for Armageddon]]: — in the aftermath of the war, the Red Hunters were called to aid the Inquisition in purging the Imperial survivors. At the climax of the series of clashes between the Inquisition and [[Space Wolves]] known as the [[Months of Shame]], the Red Hunters' entire chapter fleet under the command of [[Chapter Master]] [[Daemar]]{{Fn|3c}} was mobilized at the behest of [[Lord Inquisitor]] [[Ghesmei Kysnaros]] to besiege the Wolves [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworld]] of [[Fenris]].{{Fn|3a}}*'''742.[[M41]]:''': The [[Damocles Crusade]]{{Fn|6}}*'''812-830.[[M41]]:''': [[Siege of Vraks]] — The Siege of Vraks saw the deployment of a significant force of Red Hunters, centered around the [[3rd Company (Red Hunters)|3rd Company]]. The entire force was never deployed as a single unit and were often divided amongst [[Ordo Malleus]] [[Inquisitors]] to act as an elite cadre of shock troops for their operations. Hence, squads and vehicles could be found just about anywhere along the front, with Red Hunters being present in small numbers at most major battles until the end of the campaign. The Red Hunters saw extensive action during the final stages of the Siege of [[Vraks]], mainly in offensive actions against the final renegade stronghold, the Citadel. A particularly dark day for the chapter saw roughly 150 brothers of the chapter perform an ill-fated [[drop pod]] assault on the Armoury Gate, which led to the citadel's undercroft. Unfortunately they were beset by a [[Chaos Reaver Battle Titan]] of the [[Legio Vulcanum]] and hordes of archenemy soldiers. Despite attempts by the 269th [[Death Korps of Krieg|Death Korps]] Siege Regiment's efforts to breach the gate and provide an escape route for the Red Hunters trapped in the "Death Pit", the entire force was destroyed to a man.{{Fn|2a}} The Red Hunters saw action once again alongside [[Lord Inquisitor]] [[Hector Rex]], brother [[Astartes]] of the [[Grey Knights]] Chapter, and Krieg Grenadiers of the 158th and 150th regiments. This engagement would be more successful than the assault on the Armoury Gate and see the Cardinal Gate breached and the [[Bloodthirster]] [[An'ggrath]] banished back to the warp. The final engagements also saw the deployment of Red Hunters [[Terminator Squad]]s. They were critical in aiding the Death Korps Engineers' efforts to clear the Undercroft. The 3rd Squad of 1st Company, [[Squad Zokura]], achieved a kill-to-death ratio of 97:1 during this operation.{{Fn|2b}}*'''915.[[M41]]:''' — Starting Start of '''The Red Hunt''' — The Chapter was ordered to shadow the penitent crusades of the three rebel Chapters sided with Astral Claws during the Badab War. The order was given by the Inquisitional Representative and it was also ratified by Senatorum Imperialis.{{Fn|4b}}*'''956.[[M41]]:''' — Following '''The Red Hunt''', a full task force of the Red Hunters, several high-ranking Inquisitors and their retinues vanished during the tracking the [[Mantis Warriors]] near the moons of [[Lomea]]. Their fate is still unknown and the Mantis Warriors have not shared any information about that despite subsequent investigations.{{Fn|4b}}*'''993.[[M41]]:''' — Following '''The Red Hunt''', Red Hunters suffered losses fighting the [[Tyranids]] of [[Hive Fleet Kraken]] alongside the [[Lamenters]] [[Chapter]], whose penitent crusade the Red Hunters were assigned to track.{{Fn|4c}}*'''999.[[M41]]:''' — Campaign against the [[Night Reapers]].*'''Late [[M41]], date unknown:''' — The Red Hunters fought alongside the [[White Scars]] and [[Celestial Lions]] Chapters to purge the third moon of [[Woebetide]] from an [[Enslaver]] plague.{{Fn|8}}
