The Tyranids had overrun an Imperial landing zone designated Desolation Valley. The organisms did not initially advance on towards the Imperial lines, instead focusing on feeding upon the dead. When they did finally launch an assault on the Imperial lines with the support of mighty biovores - living artillery pieces. Due to the thick spore fog, the Tyranids were able to surprise the defenders. During the conflict they Tyranids were forced back but they continued to launch multiple assaults. The Rift Wardens were able to hold off the attack by pouring massed bolter fire into the oncoming bio-organisms but ammunition supplies were beginning to run low. By that evening, during a powerful thunderstorm, a final attack was made. Tyranid warriors breached the lines and engaged the Rift Wardens at close quarters. Both sides sustained heavy casualties. Eventually the Imperial losses became too high and they fell back once again.
