In an attempt to end the conflict swiftly, the Grey Knights teleported a company into the middle of the Rift Warden head quarters within Ascension Hive. The post was only defended by a handful of battle brothers and chapter master Arthurus, many of whom were killed as the attackers occupied the site and forced the Rift Wardens to retreat. The Grey Knights were now in a position to observe and bring down fire upon the Rift Wardens positions. However, Arthurus gathered some of his forces and launched a counter which drove out the attackers.

Further down in the hive, an outpost defended by a number of heavy intercessor squads came under attack at this time, as once again the enemy teleported in for a surprise assault. The resulting fire fight lasted for over an hour. As elsewhere, the Rift Wardens were stopped by the weight of psychic power cast into their lines. Three more outposts were captured in a similar fashion.

The Grey Knights then attacked the space marine reinforcements hastening to halt the attack. The Grey Knights opened fire and then assaulted their foes, cutting them down before they could reach the front lines.
