Battle of Magnir’s Crag Conflict Tyrannic Wars[1] Date At least the First Tyrannic War or later.[1] Location (not mentioned) Outcome (not mentioned) Combatants Hive Fleet Behemoth[1] Space Wolves[1] Casualties At least one Carnifex[2] full casualties unknown Magnir[3] and at least one Battle Leader[2] full casualties unknown

The Battle of Magnir’s Crag was a battle in which the Space Wolves defended an ancient fortress of their chapter against a tendril of Hive Fleet Behemoth.^[1][4]

During the battle, the Space Wolf named Magnir was wounded, needing to be retrieved by his comrades.^[3]

Also during the battle, Bulveye the Berserker saved the life of his Battle Leader, slaying the Carnifex that had brought his leader low. He would bore a hole through its midriff, gouging great chunks from its flesh with each swing.^[2]

Overview

A nightmarish tendril of Hive Fleet Behemoth has descended upon an ancient fortress of the Space Wolves. The alien monstrosities are held at bay by the dauntless warriors of Fenris, but for every horror slain, a dozen take its place.^[4]

Titanic abominations bred for war clash against mighty heroes spoken of in saga and song, as Thunderwolf Cavalry take the fight to their inhuman foe. Can even the mighty Space Wolves prevail against such odds?^[4]
