The aliens focus their fire on the charging Space Marines, doing what they can to slow their advance. Despite the cover, and Consus enhanced physiology, the aliens counter attack throws him off his feet, while other Astartes are felled by exploding chemical vats. Giaus manages to cut down one of the alien troopers, but he himself is thrown off his feet as the xenos take advantage of the chaos that has been caused by the Astartes assault. From what Giaus can see, about 14 Space Marines, himself included, remain standing by the end of this.

Drax however manages to reach the xenos, though he is cut off from reinforcements and finds himself charging into the teeth of the aliens bayonets, which they level at him as he charges in. His strikes are parried and despite avoid a flurry of blows, he is eventually caught by a hard swing to the chest, which almost gouges open his armour.
