The Third Grand Company is an Iron Warriors Grand Company and warband which controlled the world of Castellax for an extended time after the Horus Heresy. It was largely destroyed during the Siege of Castellax by Orks.[1b] The remnants of the Grand Company rallied under Captain Rhodaan; he subsequently managed to redirect most of the Orks into leaving Castellax[1d][2b] and began to rebuild the warband.[2b]
