The 2 Grizmunds aren't the same person, AFAIK...
Reputated to be an excellent commander of armour, General Grizmund entered the Crusade as a Colonel, but was promoted during the [[Cociaminus]] campaign of 760-762.[[M41]]<sup>1</sup>. In 769.M41 Grizmund led a unit of Narmenian Armour to the world of [[Verghast]], where he fought in the defence of [[Vervunhive]]. During the Second Storm of the the embattled [[Hive City]] he, along with his entire command staff, was arrested by the Vervun Primary Hive Commissariat, the local military police, for taking an unauthorized route to the battlefield. While the situation looked grim for a while, [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt]] eventually stepped in and had the charges dismissed; Grizmund was returned to his command.
The Narmenian Armoured regiment Grizmund led at Vervunhive was made up of 127 [[Leman Russ Battle Tank|Leman Russ MBTs]], 27 [[Demolishers]], 42 [[Salamanders]] and a small number of [[Sentinel]] walkers and attached infantry, and with it General Grizmund managed to win considerable distinction in the campaign. Particularly of note was ‘Operation Dercius’, a Scissors-pattern manouever where the Naremenian Armour totally annihilated a much large [[Ferrozoica|Zoican]] armoured force, losing only two tanks in the process. Grizmund was further able to mount a successful counterattack on Veyveyr Gate, driving the Zoican forces out from under the city's [[Void Shield|force shield]].<sup>2</sup>
==Fall of Malovolion== An Imperial Guard Colonel of Paladian armour named Grizmund was killed while defending the planet of [[Malvolion]] from a [[Tyranid]] Invasion.<sup>3</sup>. He was , fighting alongside [[Mordian Iron Guard]] and a [[Pyhruss]] Regiment.<sup>3</sup> It is unlikely this character is the same as General Grizmund of the Narmenian Armour, even though both are the creations of the same author.
