Axe of Russ
The Axe of Russ was a Battle Barge of the Space Wolves Chapter and was commanded by the Wolf Lord Kjarl Grimblood, during the Psychic Awakening.[1]
As the Great Waaagh! attacked the Imperium, Grimblood used the Axe of Russ and other Imperial warships to ambush a Deathskulls armada threatening the Evraad System. The Orks were lured into the Gnarion Reef, where the ambush was sprung, but the Xenos' warships outnumbered those of the Imperium. The Axe of Russ was soon boarded by the Deathskulls and Grimblood left the overall battle to the Battle Barge's Shipmistress, while he took part in defending it. However, the Axe of Russ was later destroyed by the Deathskulls, which struck a huge blow to the Imperial forces' morale as the battle with the Orks continued.[1]
