[[Image:Grizmund.jpg|thumb|right|115px|General Grizmund of the Narmenian Armour{{Cite This}}]][[General]] '''Grizmund''' was the commanding officer of the [[Narmenian Armoured]] [[regiments]] taking part in the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]]. Holder of a distinguished careerreputation, Grizmund is best known for his actions during the [[Siege of Vervunhive]].

== History ==Reputated to be an excellent commander of armour, General Grizmund entered the Crusade as a [[Colonel]], but was promoted during the [[Cociaminus]] campaign of 760-762.[[M41]]¹{{Fn|1a}}. In 769.M41 Grizmund led a unit of Narmenian Armour to the world of [[Verghast]], where he fought in the defence of [[Vervunhive]]. During the Second Storm of the embattled [[Hive City]] he, along with his entire command staff, was arrested by the Vervun Primary Hive Commissariat, the local military police, for taking an unauthorized route to the battlefield. While the situation looked grim for a while, [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt]] eventually stepped in and had the charges dismissed; Grizmund was returned to his command{{Cite This}}.

The Narmenian Armoured regiment Grizmund led at Vervunhive was made up of 127 [[Leman Russ Battle Tank|Leman Russ MBTs]]s, 27 [[Demolishers]], 42 [[Salamanders]] and a small number of [[Sentinel]] walkers and attached infantry, and with it General Grizmund managed to win considerable distinction in the campaign{{Cite This}}.  Particularly of note was during ‘Operation Dercius’"Operation [[Dercius]]", when a manoeuver Grizmund coined "The Scissors" was used to devastating effect. During this engagement the Naremenian Armour totally annihilated a much larger [[Ferrozoica|Zoican]] armoured force, losing only two tanks in the process. Grizmund was further able to mount a successful counterattack on Veyveyr Gate, driving the Zoican forces out from under the city's [[Void Shield|force shield]]{{Cite This}}.²
