→Kraazgrug's Folly
==Kraazgrug's Folly==
While still a Captain, Lorgath was given command of several [[Company|companies]] of the Storm Wardens, supported by a handful of [[Veteran Squad|veteran]]s and numerous [[Space Marine Vehicles|armoured vehicles]], to rid [[Keffik's World]] of [[Ork]] [[Waaagh!]] Kraazgrug. Responding to an [[Astropath|astropathic]] distress signal, the Storm Wardens made planetfall and Lorgath commenced with organising the formations and strategies of his force. The Orks attacking Keffik's World were under command of the nefarious [[Warboss]] Kraazgrug, who had, along with a warband to boot, been ravaging a number of settlements throughout the [[Scarus Sector]] and threatened to cut the food supply for an entire [[Subsector|subdivision]] of the sector.<sup>2</sup>
Lorgath's plan of action was engage Kraazgrug's [[Wartrukk|Trukk]]s and [[Warbuggy|Warbuggies]] in open battle upon the grassy plains of the planet's north continent. Kraazgrug, however, did not wish to conform to Lorgath's plan. Under cover of a monumental dust storm, Kraazgrug's [[Ork Vehicles]] outflanked the Storm Wardens formations. With his battle plan dashed, Lorgath Maclir was forced to reform it quickly lest the Orks were to descend on the Storm Wardens unguarded flanks. The result of his quick thinking - Lorgath launched a diversionary force of [[Scout Squad|Scout Bikers]], [[Land Speeder Typhoon]]s and [[Stormraven Gunship|Stormravens]] directly at the oncoming enemy while he had the rest of his men redeploy to the top of a nearby box canyon. When they had moved into position, the diversionary force feigned retreat, and the Orks took the bait. Lulled into Lorgath's trap, the Orks followed the bait into the box canyon where they were met by an unwavering hail of heavy weapons fire. Kraazgrug and every Ork in his army were slain by the Storm Wardens, not one survived.<sup>2</sup>
