===First War for Armageddon===
[[Image:Grimnar.JPG|thumb|300px|right|Logan Grimnar, the Great Wolf]]
In the [[First War for Armageddon]] the [[Space Hulk]], ''Devourer of Stars'', caught Imperial forces by surprise. Even worse the Chaos forces were led by the [[daemon]] Primarch, [[Angron]]. The forces of Chaos quickly defeated the Imperial forces at Armageddon Prime. Unbeknownst to the forces of Chaos, the Space Wolves were recently assigned to this sector and answered the Imperial forces' cry for help.{{cite thisFn|2b}}
By the time the forces of Chaos had come around for a new attack, they found a well organized Imperial force bolstered by Space Wolves. This was Logan's first real test as Wolf Lord.{{Fn|3}} Nonetheless Logan in all his foresight knew that he and the Space Wolves alone would not be able to defeat Angron's force. When the Daemon Primarch led the attack on the Imperial line, Logan played his ace, a full company of [[Grey Knights]]. At the great cost of many Grey Knights, they were able to banish Angron back to the [[Immaterium|Warp]]. With the defeat of their leader, the forces of Chaos were quickly crushed.{{cite thisFn|2b}}

*According to [[Codex: Space Wolves (5th Edition)]], as of the end of [[M41]], Grimnar has been [[Great Wolf]] for "over 700 years"{{Fn|22a}}, however, according to [[Champions of Fenris - A Codex: Space Wolves Supplement]], Grimnar was elected Great Wolf in '''440.[[M41]]''', just under 660 years from the end of M41{{Fn|3}}.
*In [[William King]]'s novel ''[[Fist of Demetrius]]'', Grimnar is still a young warrior of the Space Wolves at the time of the [[Macharian Crusade]] ('''392-399.M41'''), which is inconsistent with him being Great Wolf for 700 years thereafter, and only slightly less inconsistent with him being elected [[Wolf Lord]] in 415.M41, and Great Wolf in 440.M41{{Fn|4}}.
