One Ultramarine force led by Captain Ventanus led a breakout and retook Calth's Defence Laser silos, aiding the sorely-pressed Ultramarines fleet from the surface of Calth.

The two primarchs came together once, Power Fist against War Maul, and backed away from the resulting flare of repelling energy fields. Angron plunged his chainsword up under Guilliman's breastplate -- a shallow stab, but a telling one.They drove the foes of Humanity before them, their armies fighting like intricate and perfectly tuned machines to swiftly and decisively outmanoeuvre every foe.
