==Second War for Armageddon==
The [[Second War for Armageddon]] was by featured a massive huge force of [[Ork]]s in 941.[[M41M40]] led by the mighty [[Warboss]] [[Ghazkull Ghazghkull Thraka|Ghazkull Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka]]. The Overlord of the planet, [[Von von Strab|Herman von Strab]], was completely unprepared for the attack, and his own pride and incompetence only made matters worse. Eventually, the defense defence of the planet was taken over by Commander [[Dante ]] of the [[Blood Angels]]. The forces involved were the [[Salamanders]], [[Blood Angels]], [[Ultramarines]], [[Imperial Guard]] and [[Squats]]. During the war, an Imperial [[Commissar]] named [[Commissar Yarrick|Yarrick]], who had been exiled by Von von Strab to [[Hades Hive]], led a heroic defense of the hive Hive that eventually distracted Ghazkull, infuriating Ghazghkull from the planetary battles. This infuriated him enough to send more and more forces against Hades Hive. The battle escalated to such proportions that Ghazkull Ghazghkull considered the fight a matter of personal pride, and took command of the forces assaulting Hades himself, blinding him to the other battles on the world. Although the hive Hive eventually fell, the distraction gave the Imperial forces enough time to mount a counterattack that finally broke the back of the Ork invasion force. Yarrick survived and would clash with Ghazkull Ghazghkull again. Von Strab escaped from his jailers, and the Orks were forced away, humiliated in their defeat. They would come once morehave to return to avenge their failures''In 1992, Games Workshop released ''Battle for Armageddon'', a board game detailing the events of the Second Armageddon War.Also the events of this war formed the main background for the Warhammer 40,000 second edition box set.''
