*'''???.[[M36]]:''' The Howling Griffons destroyed the [[Necroteks of Naath]].{{Fn|11a}}
*'''220.[[M38]]:''' Arios Point Ambush — The Howling Griffons were ambushed by then Chaos Lord Periclitor on their return to Mancora. The ambush led to the death of Chapter Master Orlando Furioso as well as most of their [[1st Company (Howling Griffons)|First]] and [[8th Company (, Howling Griffons)Chapter|Eighth]] Companies.{{Fn|7b}} This has sparked a long standing feud between the [[Word Bearers]] and the Howling Griffons.{{Fn|7b}}
*'''322-384.[[M39]]:''' [[Angevin Crusade]]{{Fn|11c}}

*'''143.M41:''' The [[Jorun Retaliation]] — En route to the [[Gothic War]] an Imperial Battlegroup, the [[15th Heraklion Ironclads]], turned on their [[Commissariat]] attachment and went renegade. Investigations into this turn of events uncovered the foul Xenos taint of [[Dark Eldar]], who had managed to ensnare and corrupt [[General]] [[Jorun]] and his command structure. Jorun and his fleet raided planet after planet, enslaving whole populations for their masters. The full Howling Griffons Chapter (about 8 Companies worth of Marines) was given command of the strike force, with support from the [[Ultramarines]] and [[Sons of Orar]] Chapters. Initial contact was made as the traitor forces were landing on [[Asturia]]. With no armour unloaded, it became a massacre, with over 5,000 Guard dying in an hour. The Howling Griffons' [[4th Company (, Howling Griffons)Chapter|4th Company]], led by [[Chaplain]] [[Armand Titus]], led the final strike on Jorun's forces, fighting through Jorun's [[Ogryn]] cadre as well as [[Dark Eldar]] troops. Titus delivered the killing blow to Jorun, while slowly succumbing to poisoned wounds and sealing the fate of the Heraklion Ironclads.{{Fn|7b}} The campaign was not completed before the Howling.{{Fn|44a}}
*'''857.M41:''' [[Lazar Blockade]] — The Howling Griffons' fleet, along with 4 other Space Marine Chapters, overwhelmed and obliterated the main [[Tomb World]]. However, secondary bases throughout the system suddenly came to life.{{Fn|10}}
*'''905-906.M41:''' Shortly before the [[Badab War]], the Howling Griffons' [[4th Company (, Howling Griffons)Chapter|Fourth Company]] along with parts of their [[6th Company (, Howling Griffons)Chapter|Sixth]], [[10th Company (, Howling Griffons)Chapter|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}}

**The 1st Company of the Howling Griffons, including [[Chapter Master]] [[Alvaro]], were based on the battle-barge ''[[Force of Destiny]]'' and engaged upon a mission to track down and persecute a company of [[Night Lords]] under the command of the infamous [[Daemon Prince]] [[Periclitor]].{{Fn|3}}
**[[The Griffon Resurgent]] — The Howling Griffons Fought Daemon Prince Periclitor over the Planet [[Albitern]], where they successfully banished him.{{Fn|52}}
**During the campaign in the [[Mackan System]], the [[5th Company (, Howling Griffons)Chapter|5th Company]] of the Howling Griffons was flushed from cover by the [[mutants]] of the [[Stigmatus Covenant]] and then attacked by [[Chaos Knights]] of [[House Khomentis]].{{Fn|16}}
**Members of the Howling Griffons fought against the [[Death Guard]] on the planet [[Amistel Majoris]] where they were bolstered by the First Company of the [[Iron Knights]] Chapter.{{Fn|51}}
