==Cold War with the Wolves==
The Space Wolves were still committed to defying the Inquisition and protect the survivors, resulting in a "Cold War" with the Wolves. The Space Wolves sent ships to escort and help survivor transport ships escape, or block the destruction of new worlds. They did not fire, even when fired upon by Inquisitorial and Grey Knights vessels. And while the Inquisition claimed many surviving transports and scoured new worlds, due to the Wolves aid many more escaped and containment had become all but impossible. After months of this back-and-forth, it was agreed by Inquisitor Kysnaros and Grey Knights [[Grey Knights Grand Master|Grand Master]] [[Joros]] to meet with Grimnar in neutral space and negotiate a settlement.{{Fn|1c}}
However as soon as the Space Wolves ships entered the rendezvous point to meet for negotiations, they were fired upon by Kysnaros' fleet. The smaller and ill-equipped Space Wolves fleet lost four ships while a fifth, Grimnar's flagship, was crippled. At the behest of Kysnaros and Joros, Grimnar agreed to teleport on board their ship and "surrender" himself. However when the Great Wolf entered the ship with his escort of [[Terminator]]s, he scolded the Inquisition for its violation of the laws of parlay and such underhanded tactics. Still defiant rather then submissive, Grimnar demanded to know who had ordered the attack on his fleet. When Joros confirmed he had given the order, Grimnar struck down the Grand Master with his [[Power Axe]] before beginning to teleport back to his ship. The Grey Knights, anticipating such a move, restrained the teleporters on the Wolves armor with their [[Psyker|psychic]] powers, but the Wolves escape after Grimnar and his warriors killed four [[Justicar]]s with their [[Storm Bolter]]s, throwing the Grey Knights psychic concentration into chaos. A shaken Kysnaros, ill-experienced in dealing with the Wolves, stood down and allowed Grimnar to escape. The Wolves became much more hostile after the attempted ambush, engaging and destroying Grey Knights and Inquisition ships they encountered.{{Fn|1c}}
