A week prior to the battle, the Rift Wardens occupied an abandoned fortress on the edges of the great wasteland. Outpost 12 was in a perfect position to monitor any enemy advance towards Hyperia Hivesprawl. In the very early hours the great rift in the night sky seemed to pulse and twist to the eyes of any watching and within seconds, the space marines found their position surrounded by a host of foul daemons. With the element of surprise, the daemons of Slaanesh attacked. The Rift Wardens successfully repulsed the initial attack but in the process exhausted most of their ammunition.
Another daemonic attack occurred as the sun rose above the distant horizon, this time the foul horrors materialising inside the fortress walls and corridors. The Rift Wardens could not repulse this one due to their lack of ammunition and attempted to break out through the enemy forces surrounding the outpost. The result was disastrous. The space marines lost around half of their battle brothers and almost lost Arthurus to a savage Keeper of Secrets. The daemons too took heavy casualties, enough that they were not able to pursue the space marines and instead fell back into the Warp. The Rift Wardens successfully retreated back to the safety of Hyperia Hivesprawl.
