This was an engagement in the Vigilus Wastelands between the Rift Wardens and a maniple of Chaos Knights. Following their successes in battles against the Imperial forces further south in the deserts, the Knights were pursuing the retreating loyalist forces. One faction of Knights, on the left flank, ran into a rearguard of Rift Wardens in the ash dunes. The Rift Wardens were largely an infantry force, supported by heavy weapons and some land raiders. The battle started in the afternoon with the Rift Wardens caught out in the open. Despite lascannon fire and Intercessor assaults, the Kinights gradually fought their way forwards.
The traitor Knights won the battle for the cost of just four engines. The Rift Wardens suffered numerous casualties with few surviours. By nightfall, the space marines were then in full retreat.
