The Space Marines poured out from the portal in groups, seized the warehouse containing it, and established defensive positions at its entrances and exits.
Several Conspiracy Cabals hired by Viktor ran straight into the Space Marines.
The Sons of Antaeus advanced steadfastly through the barrage, with the other Chapters following at their flanks.
The Burning Falcons raced through the air, engaging the Dark Eldar fighters and flying vehicles.
Though all manner of Dark Eldar weaponry emphasized agility, no matter how agile a Razor Fighter was, it could not match the agility of a person who could fly.
The Burning Falcons could often be seen streaking to a fighter at Mach 9 in the blink of an eye, tearing open its hatch, and throwing out the pilot.
Only the flight warriors modified by the Blood Reavers could contend with the Burning Falcons for a while.
The Chronicler never recklessly pushed ahead just because it was a C'tan. It would never charge faster than human warriors like Burner did.
