It was now that the Imperium unleashed his secret weapon. When Logan Grimnar realized the nature of their foe, he called for the support of the [[Grey Knights]], as only the Chapter Militant of the [[Inquisition|Inquisition's]] [[Ordo Malleus|daemonhunters]] had the ability to truly defeat a daemonic entity as powerful as Angron.
The Grey Knights dispatched one hundred and nine{{Fn|3a}} [[Grey Knight Terminator Squad|Terminator Assault Marines]] who attacked Angron directly, along with the [[Cruor Praetoria]], his bodyguard of a dozen [[Bloodthirster|Bloodthirsters]], by teleporting into the center of the daemon army. At the same time, the Space Wolves led a massive Imperial counter-attack. Initially Angron and his escorts decimated the Grey Knights, the Primarch wiping out three Terminators with a single stroke of his [[Black Blade]]. However thanks to the psychic might of the young recruit [[Hyperion]], the Black Blade was shattered and the Grey Knights were now at a significant advantage.{{Fn|3b}} Soon after, Brother-Captain [[Taremar Aurellian ]] was killed while personally banishing Angron back to the warp for a hundred years and a day. The loss of their leader, coupled with the surprise assault from the remaining imperial forces, led to the near-complete annihilation of the chaos forces on Armageddon. Though the final battle was a major Imperial Victory, only thirteen{{Fn|3b}} Grey Knights survived.
