====Vendetta====
[[Image:1KSons Sorcerer.jpg|thumb|right|A Chaos Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons{{Fn|72}}]]
After the destruction of [[Prospero]] at their hands, the Thousand Sons have been long time arch-enemies with the Space Wolves chapter. They have tried several times to uproot and destroy the Wolves, ranging from a [[Battle of the Fang|full-scale invasion of the Space Wolves' homeworld]] of [[Fenris]]{{Fn|12x}}to plots such as those spearheaded by the sorcerer [[Madox]].{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|10}}
This vendetta would have an irrevocable effect upon the legion. The Thousand Sons had largely retained their legion organisation and structure after the Heresy, even raising and maintaining a large body of mortal troops they referred to as [[Spireguard]] in an echo of the Crusade-era [[Imperial Army]] regiments of Prospero. However, the last known act of the Thousand Sons as a legion was the [[Battle of the Fang]], in which Magnus committed almost all of their remaining assets. At that time, there were approximately 700 members of the Thousand Sons left (not including the coven of Ahriman).{{Fn|12a}} Their defeat resulted in the loss of several of the remaining senior legion members, several squads of Rubric Marines, much of their fleet, and nearly all of their mortal minions.{{Fn|12c}}
