*'''905-906.M41:''' Shortly before the [[Badab War]], the Howling Griffons' [[4th Company (Howling Griffons)|Fourth Company]] along with parts of their [[6th Company (Howling Griffons)|Sixth]], [[10th Company (Howling Griffons)|Tenth]] and [[1st Company (Howling Griffons)|First]] Companies carried out a lengthy search and destroy campaign within the [[Caradryad Sector]]. It can be safely assumed that a large number of planetary assaults were carried out during this action as they were severely lacking in [[Thunderhawk]]s and [[drop pods]] when answering the call for aid in the [[Badab War]] as they had not had the chance to return to [[Mancora]].{{Fn|7b}}

*'''906-909.M41:''' [[Badab War]] — The Howling Griffons, along with the [[Novamarines]], responded to calls for aid. Having just finished a campaign in the [[Caradryad Sector]], the Howling Griffons' task force was no more than 250 Space Marines and had insufficient planetary assault resources to aid in front line assaults. As a result, their initial engagements were to carry out garrison duties or convoy protection.{{Fn|39}} Their largest deployment was to garrison the airless moons in the [[Khymara]] system, rebuilding old listening posts as staging areas for later in the war. Unfortunately in 4.003.907.M41,{{Fn|7a}} this posting put them in the path of the [[Executioners]] who were coming to aid the Secessionists as part of their blood oath to Huron.{{Fn|12}} The Howling Griffons were annihilated; after the [[Executioners]] withdrawal, the casualty rate was more than 70%, including the catastrophic loss of their strike cruiser, ''[[Augeias]]'', and [[Chaplain Dreadnought]] [[Armand Titus|Titus]]. Despite these losses, the remaining force continued to fight wherever they could until officially relieved in 909.[[M41]]{{Fn|7b}} The Howling Griffons made use of Insurgency Forces (five Marines, one armed with a sniper rifle.) and at least one [[Callidus Assassin]] during the war.{{Fn|35}}
