The First Battle of Mortwald was fought over three days in the wastelands north of Mortwald Hivesprawl. The battle saw forces of the World Eaters advance to fill a gap in the Chaos lines that had formed north of Mortwald during the Imperial offensive there. This advance towards Mortwald was checked by the Rift Wardens short of the World Eater's objective, a spur of badlands overlooking the hive, and were subsequently counter-attacked by elements of the Rift Wardens led by Captain Lorgraine. These attacks were repulsed with heavy casualties, as the World Eaters blunted the Rift Wardens advance, which stabilized the Chaos lines.
The fighting then largely moved south as the Imperial forces sought to consolidate their positions around the hive, preventing the traitor forces within the hive from being reinforced by the World Eaters.
