The  battle of Paradox Flats was a Rift Wardens counter-attack against the Deathwatch. The battle took place over a week in the plains surrounding the decimated indignant xenos settlement.  During a brief pause in the war, Arthurus changed tactics and his battle brothers adopted a leap-frog method of pushing back against the enemy astartes.

Waves of battle brothers stopped once they reached their objectives and consolidated the ground, while supporting waves passed through to attack the next one, and earlier waves became the tactical reserve. General adoption of the method was made possible when the Rift Wardens brought up assault vehicles into the war zone and increasing the number of aircraft in a close air support role. 

The Rift Wardens succeeded in capturing most of their objectives and then holding them against the Deathwatch counter-assault, inflicting many casualties upon the enemy and forcing them to retreat. Deathwatch defences which had been long held, were quickly lost and the Rift Wardens once again had control of their target.
