The War Griffons have been instrumental in halting the [[Black Crusades]] of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] that spew from the [[Eye of Terror]].{{Fn|2}}
However the Legion suffered a catastrophic defeat in 997.[[M41]] when its [[Forge World]] of [[Gryphonne IV]] was overrun by [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]]. During the battle, the majority of the Legion was torn to pieces by swarms of [[Tyranid]] [[Hierophant]]s and [[Tyrannofex]]es. However a portion of the Legion survived the tragedy and was able to provide a total of eight Battle Titans to the [[Betalis Campaign]] against the [[Eldar]]{{Fn|2}}. Some of its surviving Titans also took part in the defense of [[Cadia]] during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]]. The [[Fortress World]] was destroyed in that conflict, but the final fate of the Legio's Titans is unknown.{{Fn|26}}
