The '''Months of Shame''' is a term to refer to the immediate aftermath of the [[First War for Armageddon]]. Beginning as a purge by the [[Ordo Malleus]] against survivors of the conflict for fear of the lingering taint of [[Chaos]], it escalated into skirmishes and eventual full battle with the [[Space Wolves]]. The term itself is not an official one, and indeed few in the [[Imperium]] are aware of the incident's existence. Rather, the name was coined by some within the [[Grey Knights]].{{Fn|1}}
