On Mordecai general Kutuzov was facing difficulties. Supplies were low and he had lost much of the territory gained in the offensive against the Saguthar mines and the strategically vital refining city of Kuneus. The Imperium were certain the forces of chaos were planning a new offensive and sought aid from the astartes to delay this inevitable outcome for as long as possible.
The Blood Angels and Hammers of the Emperor conducted two missions against the chaos forces in the south, with the astartes targetting key locations where chaos forces were mustering. The Blood Angels successfully achieved their objectives, disrupting supply lines leading to the front line, while the Hammers of the Emperor launched a mission deep into nurgle held territory.
The Hammers once again launched a narrow armoured thrust into chaos held territory, where the forces of nurgle and tzeentch attempted an ambush. Possessed marines rushed the column, causing some damage, but were brutally cut down by the intercessors as they disembarked. Following up with their hammers in hand, the loyalist astartes ripped into their enemy, as the chaos forces' psychic powers deserted them. Their ambush now blunted, the chaos forces were torn to shreds, allowing the space marines to raid their supply bases and return to their own lines relatively unscathed. The traitor forces ability to launch a full scale offensive had been reduced, at least for now, allowing Kutuzov to dig in his guardsmen along the front line.
