Out in the wastelands a warp gate opened and poured forth an impossible number of Khornate daemons and traitor marines of the World Eaters legion. The Rift Wardens were one space marine chapter dispatched by high command to stem the tide of the Ruinous Powers.
This battle raged for for two days. Preparations for the battle included surrounding the expected arrival point with four regiments of the Armageddon Steel Legion and two space marine chapters - the Rift Wardens and the Salamanders. The regiments were put under joint command, creating a unified front. Artillery pieces followed the advancing units, which played the role of infantry support platforms. Attempts were made to block the enemy communications but this proved ineffective. As the enemy poured forth onto the ashen wastes of Vigilus, the makeshift fortifications were overrun and captured, with swaths of territory falling into the hands of the World Eaters. By the early hours of the second day, almost half the Imperial regiments had been slaughtered. Morale was at a critical level.
The Rift Wardens and Salamanders were then forced to provide a rear guard defence as the Imperial lines crumbled and fell back in tatters. Nothing could now stop the armies of the Blood God from spreading across the surface of Vigilus.
