Arthurus called his command staff together and they drew up plans for the coming of the next Aeldari attack. At this time the Rift Wardens had a fully companies worth of battle brothers to call upon plus several of their dreadnoughts. Command was given over to Hephestus, the chapter's Master of the Forge, who decided to bring the might of the chapter's dreadnoughts against the weak Aeldari ground troops.
The Aeldari forces were largely guardian and ranger squads led by Illic Nightspear and Faugan, Their numbers were vastly reduced after their previous engagement with the space marines. This lack of manpower was a problem for them and they were careful to pick their targets. The Aeldari had a handful of grav-tanks and this was their only real threat to the Rift Wardens.
Hephestus launched his attack in the late evening and surrounded the Aeldari forces by morning. The final attack started then with the Aeldari vastly outnumbered and outmatched. They retreated into the Industrial Enclaves where they made their last stand. As they ran out of manpower, the survivours fled into the webway but this had been a crucial victory for the Rift Wardens and a costly defeat for the Aeldari.
