A battle group of the War Griffons Titans fought alongside the [[Gryphonne IV]] [[Skitarii]] forces that took part in the [[Castra Campaign]] where, with the help of the first batch of newly produced [[Leman Russ Conqueror]]s, they encircled and trapped the traitor besiegers of [[Hive Castra Septus]], eliminating the traitors within the pocket.{{Fn|4b}}
The War Griffons have over the millennia been instrumental in halting the [[Black Crusades]] of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] that spewed from the [[Eye of Terror]].{{Fn|2}} As well as sending a total of eight Battle Titans to the [[Betalis Campaign]] against the [[Eldar]].
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. {{Fn|2}} However, a portion of the Legion survived the tragedy and was able to provide some 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|6}}
