The fighting inside the Webway was nearing its end. The Aeldari were not the main target of this massive daemonic invasion, but the daemons did not mind attacking them along the way.
The passage beyond this Webway Gate was not a main artery. It was too small for warships, but more than spacious enough for super-heavy vehicles.
