Points: 1000.
Deployment: Front Line.
Primary Objective: Duel.
The second battle of the Olatu Valley took place just two days after the Rift Wardens abandoned their territory at the western end of the valley. It largely took place at the valley entrance where a few units had been left to guard against the Tyranid advance. It was part of a larger offensive by three waves of Tyranid organisms, aimed at encircling the space marines.
In the battle both sides suffered heavy losses. While the site was overrun by the Tyranids, they failed to outflank the space marine defenders. Because of that, the battle, being less decisive than the Hive Mind wanted, was a both a tactical victory and a strategic defeat for the Tyanids.
