This was a battle fought in the streets of Dendelgheist between the forces of the Rift Wardens and the Dark Angels. The battle marked the end of a string of highly successful Rift Warden attacks. Only the supporting attacks in the neighbouring districts achieved a substantial advance. On the main front, the Dark Angels withstood the limited amount of artillery fire achieved by the Rift Wardens. The ground among the streets had been severely-damaged by heavy weapons fire, making some areas hard to traverse.
Dreadful ground conditions had more effect effect on the Rift Wardens who needed to move a number of tanks and ammunition to support the next attack. The battle was a defensive success for the Dark Angels although costly to both sides. The weather and ground conditions put severe strain on all involved and hindered both sides. After several days of heavy fighting, the Dark Angels were suddenly joined by their Primarch - Lion El'Johnson! His appearance on the battlefield turned the tide of battle, halting the Rift Warden advance.
