With stretched resources and waging war on every front, the Imperium had left the defence of the Device Chamber to the Imperial Cult, confident even this rabble could not screw up such a simple task while Chaos were in retreat. This however was a fatal mistake that Honourable Horozhka exploited to the fullest.
The Iron Warriors set up within sight of the Imperial Cult with a clear kill zone. For all their righteous fervour bordering on madness, the Imperial Cult were not stupid and took advantage of cover as they rapidly advanced, looking to charge into combat, but unable to find a way close to the Iron Warriors without facing their guns. Hozoshka sent a single flamer armed Thorakitai forward to bait the Cult, who obliged, incinerating him first and advancing onto the Iron Warrior defensive line. In return, the Iron Warriors unleashed a storm of disciplined fire as planned, cutting down half the Imperial Cult as they attempted to charge, who retreated in disarray. Iron Warrior hunter teams continued to dog the Imperial Cult far from the device chamber as Honourable Horoszhka once again turned the Device and the new Foramen back to Enceladus.
