==Raising the Defenses==
The Imperial defence was well organizedorganised. Unknown to the forces of Chaos, [[Logan Grimnar]] and his [[Great Company]] of [[Space Marines]] from the [[Space Wolves]] chapter had been assigned to this sector of the Imperium, and they moved quickly to help the beleaguered Imperial defenders. They gained valuable time as Angron raised bloody monuments from the wreckage of the dead instead of pressing his advantage. In addition, his power was dependent on a nearby [[Warp Storm]], and when it lulled the defenders gained precious time to organize organise a counterattack.{{Fn|2}} When his army emerged from the jungles that separated Armageddon Prime from Armageddon Secundus they found the defenders ready and waiting, and reinforced by the Space Wolves. Grimnar's commanding presence and charisma rallied the terrified defenders of Armageddon's.{{Fn|5}}
Huge battles erupted along the entire front. The Space Wolves were outnumbered one thousand to one, but nonetheless Grimnar led the charge. Taking the fight to the Chaos horde, the Great Wolf led an armoured assault straight across the River Chaeron into the World Eater horde, inflicting heavy losses on the traitors before withdrawing. The enraged World Eaters pursued the Space Wolves mechanized forces into the jungle, falling into a combined Space Wolf/Steel Legion ambush along the Chaeron and slaughtered. The Space Wolves waded into the river itself and set about the Chaos horde in a mad frenzy, battling for hours and holding the line.{{Fn|5}}
