Aximand placed Grael Noctua in his command staff to evaluate him for Mournival membership as the Sons of Horus attacked [[Dwell]]. Aximand's forces easily defeat the human defenders until the appearance of loyalist Astartes led by [[Shadrak Meduson]], [[Iron Hands]] Tenth Captain. Aximand slew Meduson's second in command, [[Bion Henricos]], and then fought against a surprise attack by the [[White Scars]] of [[Hibou Khan]]. Just as reinforcements arrived, Aximand lost the front of his helmet and his face to a White Scars blade. While unconscious in the medicae undergoing facial reattachment, Aximand finally saw the lurking figure: [[Garviel Loken]]. Aximand was relieved; Loken was dead and posed no threat to him{{Fn|5}}.
Later, Aximand led Sons of Horus forces in the [[Battle of Dwell]], where he was again wounded in an assassination attempt on his Primarch by [[Shadrak Meduson]]. Aximand was next reunited with his former friend Loken aboard the [[Vengeful Spirit]] in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Molech]]. Aximand fought against Loken to try and stop the [[Knights-Errant]] from assassinating Horus. Aximand and his troops were successful in stopping the attempt, and afterwards the doubts he had harbored since Isstvan V were erased.{{Fn|6}}
