→Horus Heresy
Many years passed, and many more battles. Thousands of worlds were reclaimed by the [[Imperium]], but eventually the golden age came to an end. The [[Horus Heresy]] and Leman Russ were intertwined to begin with, but they were absent from the final battles. The Emperor sent Leman Russ and his Space Wolves to deal with [[Magnus the Red]] and the [[Thousand Sons]] legion, who the Emperor believed to be the true heretics; Magnus had used sorcery to warn the Emperor of Horus after being told not to. Prospero was assaulted and bombarded. Thousands died within days. In the final battle between Russ and Magnus, it is said that Russ blinded Magnus and then broke the Cyclops's back over his knee, and just as Russ was about to deliver the final blow, Magnus pledged himself to [[Tzeentch]] and was ascended to Daemonhood.
Years passed after the Horus Heresy. Russ, at a great feast with his Legion in attendance, stood and said: "In the end I will return. For the final battle. For the Wolf Time." He then left the Fang, along with his personal retinue, and embarked into the Eye of Terror. The tale of his disappearance is retold every thousand years by [[Bjorn the Fell-Handed]], the oldest [[dreadnought]] still in service. He is said to have served with Russ ten thousand years before. Every once in a while, the Space Wolves embark on what is called the Great Hunt to search the galaxy for their missing leader. Though they have searched far and wide, they still haven't found any sign of their Primarch. Apparently The Wolf Primarch Arch-nemesis, Magnus The Grimson Crimson king knows the wolf kings whereabouts, but keeps it secret. <sup>8</sup>:
