Next, Shon'tu concoted his most audacious plan yet by capturing a [[Space Hulk]] full of [[Tyranids]] and sending it on a collision course with [[Terra]]. However due to the will of the ships captured [[Navigator]], the hulk instead struck the world of [[Drashin]]. Shon'tu's plan was still not without its benefits, as in the [[Infestation on Drashin|ensuing battle]] Imperial Fists [[Chapter Master]] [[Vladimir Pugh]] was killed. In retaliation, nearly the entire Imperial Fists chapter tracked down Shon'tu to his old base of Malodrax, where he had since activated the ancient space station [[Tamunash]]. In the ensuing [[Fall of Malodrax]], Shon'tu was again defeated by a Space Marine coalition.{{Fn|2a}}
After the battle, Shon'tu was thought dead. However in 975.[[M41]] Imperial Fists Veteran Sergeant [[Tynon]] is was discovered dead on the world of [[Endrion (Planet)|Endrion]] while training [[Cadian]]s. The words ''Shon'tu lives'' are were carved into his chest. Later Lysander tracks tracked remnants of the Sons of the Forge to the [[TorricasSystem]] System. However they find found only 1 one dead Chaos Marine there, an Iron Warrior who whom the Imperium thought had taken command of the warband following Shon'tu's death. He is was found disemboweled disembowelled and chained with the word words ''Shon'tu Lives'' smeared in blood next to his corpse.{{Fn|2b}}
Shon'tu returned to exact his vengeance on the Imperial Fists in 999.[[M41]]. Allying with the [[Daemon]] [[Be'lakor]], Shon'tu plans planned to hijack the ''[[Phalanx]] '' and use it to bombard the [[TerraImperial Palace]]'s on [[Imperial PalaceTerra]]. Taking the Imperial Fists by surprise, he finds found only the battered [[3rd Company (Imperial Fists)|3rd Company ]] (later joined by the [[Legion of the Damned]]) defending the vessel. Ultimately the duos ' plot was foiled thanks to the intervention of the Legion of the Damned , and the Warsmith was killed by the [[First Company]] squadron of [[Terminator Sergeant]] [[Furan]].{{Fn|4}}
However , in [[M42]], [[First Captain|Captain]] [[Darnath Lysander]]'s suspicions were raised by reports of increased [[Iron Warriors]] activity within the [[Cadian Gate]]. Though there is no proof as of yet that Shon'tu is behind it, Lysander may still have an opportunity to claim his revenge, by destroying the [[Warsmith]].{{Fn|5}}
