The Space Marines Who Went to War to Save Ordinary Humans | Warhammer 40K

They survived a daemonic invasion. Then the Imperium decided they knew too much. When Imperial authorities turned against the survivors of Armageddon, Logan Grimnar and the Space Wolves refused to stand aside. Protecting ordinary humans would bring them into conflict with the Inquisition, the Grey Knights and the empire they had sworn to defend. This is the Months of Shame: from Angron's invasion and the desperate evacuation of survivors to the battle at Fenris and Bjorn the Fell-Handed's intervention. Would you have kept protecting the survivors, knowing the Inquisition's reprisals were spreading to other worlds? Tell us what you think below.
