The battle for the foothills of Mount Sybo was a military campaign during the war for Vigilus that lasted for nearly sex months, in which the Thousand Sons, under Ahriman, repulsed attacks by the Rift Wardens on the outer mine complexes after heavy fighting.
After several successful engagements where the Rift Wardens managed to seize control over the territory at the base of the volcano, the chapter attacked the central mine workings, which had been abandoned and subsequently occupied by Ahriman and his forces. His aim was control strategically located defence points, in order to keep the Imperial forces away from the legions objectives. After heavy fighting, the Rift Wardens were able to capture key locations in the area.
By the time the campaign ended, the front had encircled the entire the mountain, and Ahriman's forces held the most vital defense points against the space marine forces. Ultimately, the space marines were unable to breach these defense lines and the victory went to the Thousand Sons.
