Can't find it on Lexicanum, I think you're probably thinking of something else. First war for armageddon was GK and SW vs demons, so it'd be have to be second (orks), third (orks and later demons), or fourth (orks again).

second was started by a space hulk dropping off Ghazghkull et al directly into the system, so probably not
third was Ghaz again, apparently manipulated by one of his advisors, no results for Eldar on the page
fourth was Ghaz again, new book's not out yet

Also Armageddon was retconned to be Ullanor (capitol of one ork empire at the end of the Great Crusade and another post-Heresy in the War of the Beast) and magically important to the orks for mysterious lore reasons a while ago.

It was hard to find but I found it! It's under the Eldrad Ulthran Lexicanum page: https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Eldrad_Ulthran

Page 87 2nd. Edition Eldar Codex 3rd. paragraph, under Eldrad Ulthran:

As a result of Eldar raids the balance of power amongst rival factions was changed to favour one powerful Ork Warlord rather than another whose ambitions were more directly perilous to the Eldar. As a consequence it was the human world of Armageddon that felt the full wrath of the Warlord Ghazghkull Thraka. Neither Orks nor humans ever suspected that this was the fulfillment of a deliberate Eldar policy to direct Orksih aggression away from the Craftworlds. Such is the way that the Farseers manipulate the time-stream, with great skill and subtlety, without ever raising the suspicion of other races.
