	‘Sleep well?’ Silent asked, pouring out a cup of coffee. ‘Yes thank you, no thanks to the Blood Angels though, kept me awake a few hours trying to cut a hole through a doorway which happened to be outside the ship. One of them got sucked out into space, the others had to try and seal it up as fast as they could. Idiots.’ - Dopeman

On the Western Side of the Battlefield, a small, elite squad of Salamander Devastators lie in wait for the Earth armoured assault.

Luckily for the Salamanders, a large task force of Blood Angels is also deploying to halt the assault. Led by Captain Uriel Parrelex, the Captain of Vellis.

Meanwhile, Vellis finds the corpse of an Imperial Fist, shot from his bike as a Vulture moves in to attack the sea forces.

He moves from the beach, which has been secured, to deal with any forces present mainland.

He witnesses the destruction of a T79 tank to an Imperial Fist biker.

His squad deals with a mounted force.
