Changes

During that time, the Clan joined a vast [[Imperial]] strike force that laid seige to the fastness of the [[Word Bearers]] [[Chaos Lord|Warlord]] [[Achorus'Hax]]. Despite the size difference in their forces , however, the Warlord was able to keep the Imperials at bay for 15 years. The siege finally neared its end, though, when the [[Ultramarines]] 7th [[Space Marine 7th Company(Ultramarines)|7th Company]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]], [[Gerostus]], arrived and bonded quickly with Karrdas. This would prove disastrous for Achorus'Hax, as the Iron Father's mastery of siege warfare and relentless logic, easily combined with the Captain's adaptive tactical acumen. Their tactics then allowed Karrdas and Gerostus' combined forces to permanently end the 15 year siege of the Warlord's fastness, in six months. Afterwards, the 7th added a link of chain laurels to their [[Company Standard]], which symbolized their bond of brotherhood with Clan Haarmek. A - a bond that still exists between the two Companies to this day.{{Fn|1}}
