In 895 M41, Egil Ironwolf took the fight to the Athelaq sector. After much fighting the Iron Wolf was almost completely surrounded by the huge Waaagh! of Warboss Grimtusk Bloodboila. Only the north west quadrant, defended by a force of [[Eldar]] [[Aspect Warriors]] under the command of [[Autarch]] [[Elenduil]] prevented complete annihilation and kept supply lines open. The fury of Egil's tanks cripples the ork vanguard after many weeks and finally the Grimtusk is slain. Later, under parlay and as a peace offering [[Elenduil]] and his bodyguard of [[Striking Scorpions]] visit Eigil Iron Wolf in his throne room respectfully bearing the recovered bodies of fallen Space Wolves. Unfortunately, a mistranslation brings the mjod- soaked temper and honour in conflict with the pride and arrogance of the Eldar. Escalating quickly insults turn to drawn blades and a sudden fight. This gives enough time for the orks Orks to recover, regroup and 'elect' a new Warboss. The following three-way conflict wreaks more destruction than the original Waaagh! and the entire sector descends into violence.{{Fn|1b}}

In 999.M41 during the [[Hunt for the Wulfen]] and [[Battle of the Fenris System]], Lord Iron Wolf proved a key commander. He first defeated a [[Daemonic]] legion of [[Mordokh]] on [[Mydgal Alpha]], then later fought alongside [[Logan Grimnar]] himself against the [[Infernal Tetrad]] on [[Midgardia]]{{Fn|2}}. Later during the Battle of the Fenris System, he came to Fenris' aid, when it was invaded by the [[Daemon Prince]] [[Magnus]]. However, when he fired upon the Daemon Prince with a [[Lascannon]], Magnus' used his [[psychic]] powers to freeze the las-beam and pull the Wolf Lord in front of his own shot. Magnus then let the las-beam go and Egil's upper body was vaporized by the Lascannon's fire.{{Fn|24}}
