From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Not sure if this is what was intended, but I think so.
As the Imperials attempted to escape Big Toof River, they found their retreat blocked by its steep banks. Ork [[Snakebite]] [[Boarboyz]] rolled up into the retreating Imperial rear, compounding the disaster. Within 3 minutes, 85% of the Imperial force was dead. Imperial Praetorians overlooking the river suffered a similar ambush. The Praetorians gathered in a tight formation, using disciplined [[Lasgun]] fire and [[Chimera]]s to reap a holy toll on the Orks. The Praetorians fought to the last, and Colonel Al'Ter-Ay was forced to retreat. Fortunately for the Colonel the Orks were too busy celebrating their victory and did not pursue.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
While the Montar System was lost, ultimately it was eventually reclaimed after Warboss Bullgarg's Space Hulk was lost in the [[Warp]].{{Fn|2}}
