The Space Marines, complying with Jarik’s orders, begin to fall back from the alien fire. Seeing the astartes struggle to pull back, the aliens launch a counter attack. Streaming forward with laser rifles and energy daggers, they manage to drag down two of the Space Marines. The officer facing Jarik pulls back, covered by the arrival of alien bodyguards who lay down covering fire as they drag him away.

Anat manages to push away some of the xenos troopers as they launch their assault, forcing them to dive for cover as the sniper blasts cry out.

Daon’s blast throws chunks of concrete, coral and alien flesh flying through the air, coating him in a fresh shower of dirt and blood as the blast staggers the alien advance. A crater is left where the skirmisher landed.

Vardes assault catches some of the alien troopers off guard, who in their attempt to surround Jarik did not predict the swift advance of the Thousand Son. In a matter of moments, a slew of alien bodies have fallen at his feet, the red armoured Space Marine coming to Jarik’s side.

Sun’s fire riddles one of the officers bodyguards with a flurry of shots, blowing it to pieces. His sweep of suppressing fire staggers the alien advance, giving the Space Marines time to pull back.
