The battle of Dendelgheist opened with the Rift Wardens launching a heavy missile barrage into the Dark Angel lines, devastating their forces. The chapter then attacked en mass although the Dark Angels stood their ground. The center of the line fell, and the Rift Wardens broke through, threatening to reach the enemy command bunker. The offensive overwhelmed the outnumbered Dark Angels.
Azrael hastily sent terminator reinforcements, and deployed the fifth company to engage the Rift Wardens in case they succeeded in pushing past the Dark Angel lines. The situation was critical, but the commitment of reserves and the the arrival of Azrael himself gradually improved the situation.
The Rift Wardens advanced further into Dendelgheist and the district fell to them within days. However, by this time the Rift Wardens were low on numbers and munitions, and had intermittent supply lines. The new Dark Angel defensive lines held and they repeatedly repelled the Rift Wardens. Soon they started a counter-offensive and slowly regained ground.
