The Retreat From Kitzu VII was a battle fought between the Raven Guard and the Tyranids on the Imperial world of Kitzu VII.[1][2]

Background
Responding to reports of alien-worshipping cults rising on Kitzu VII, Kayvaan Shrike led his Raven Guard to reinforce the planet's Imperial defenders. Upon arrival, the Space Marines discovered a world already overrun by Tyranid monstrosities.[1]
Determined to salvage something from the disaster, Shrike's warriors hunted down and kill several of the evolved xenos beasts, harvesting bio-samples for future study. In danger of being surrounded and devoured, the Space Marines staged a fighting retreat across the Celestrus macro-viaduct, their Stormraven gunship moving to extract them.[1]
Diorama
There is also a diorama of the same name exhibited at Warhammer World.[1][2]
Some of the Tyranids displayed here originally came from the Valedor diorama, kept when it was dismantled to be repainted and reused here.[1]
