==Notable Actions==
[[Image:Howling Griffons Scout.PNG|thumb|right|150px|[[Howling Griffons]] [[Scout]] with [[Heavy Bolter]]{{Fn|4b}}]]*'''905-906.M41:''' — Shortly before the [[Badab War]] the Howling Griffons [[4th Company, Howling Griffons Chapter|Fourth]] along with parts of their [[6th Company, Howling Griffons Chapter|Sixth]], [[7th Company, Howling Griffons Chapter|Seventh]], Tenth, and [[1st Company, Howling Griffons Chapter|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|1}}
*'''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. 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 this posting put them in the path of the [[Executioners]] in 907.M41{{Fn|3}} who were coming to aid the Secessionists as part of their blood oath to [[Lugft Huron|Huron]]. 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|1}}
*'''978.M41:'''{{Fn|4a}} [[War for Bhorc Prime]] (Scrap at da Scrap Yard) — A contingent of Howling Griffons was dispatched to prevent the [[Ork]]s from building bigger and better idols. They managed to seize the high ground, and, with commanding fire positions, they could press their attack on the Warlord's [[Gargant]]t fields and slow the invasion.{{Fn|4b}}
