The '''Night of the Wolf''' is the term given to a confrontation between the [[Space Wolves]] and [[World Eaters]] [[Space Marine Legion]]s during the [[Great Crusade]]. Occurring shortly after the rediscovery of [[Angron]], the Space Wolves [[Primarch]] [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]] was supposedly dispatched by the [[Emperor]] himself to confront [[Angron]] on [[Malkoya]]. There, Russ demanded that Angron cease the wholesale massacre of civilians and defeated [[human]] enemies and halt the practice of installing the mind-altering [[Butcher's Nails]] in his own warriors or face censor on [[Terra]]. Angron scoffed at the notion and expressed doubt that the Emperor had truly sent him. He then went on to openly insult the Emperor as a slave-driver and even jokingly insinuated he might take the [[Imperial]] throne for himself. Horrified by this "heresy", Russ and Angron came to blows as their respective legions battled around them. Angron shattered Russ' [[Frost Blade]] [[Krakenmaw]] and Leman Russ destroyed Angrons [[Chainaxe]] '''Widowmaker''', after a brief but intense duel Angron finally defeated the Primarch in single combat. The boasting Angron was soon silenced when Leman Russ revealed his true strategy, in the process of the duel Angron had allowed himself to be surrounded by Space Wolves forces, Russ had held back deliberatly in a desperate attempt to help his brother come to senseand beat the effects of his [[Butchers Nails]]. Though he had apparently lost the duel, Russ could have ordered his forces to kill Angron with just a single word but chose to withdraw instead withdraw. Despite this Angron still saw it the battle as a victory, the World Eaters inflicted a greater number of casualties than they endured, and he saw it as a humiliation for the Wolves.{{Fn|1}}

In truth, many such as [[Lorgar]] had seen the incident as an embarrassment for the World Eaters, displaying their lack of discipline and Angron's reckless tactics. The fight had revealed Angrons rage and arrogance had been his undoingas a great weakness.{{Fn|1}}
