As the battle raged on the surface, Squad Kalidius discovered the weapon of the Iron Warriors, which had been co-opted as a power supply by the denizens of the underground hive.{{fn|1c}} The Dark Angels were able to hold the Iron Warriors off until the arrival of the [[mutant]] [[Beoth]], who killed three of the four survivors. Before he died, Sergeant Kalidius ordered Balthus to trigger the weapon, devastating the planet. In the aftermath, a heavily wounded Baltus saw one of the [[Fallen]] drag [[Rendix]] away.{{fn|1d}}
The Iron Warriors were all but obliterated and their surviving warships fled. The Dark Angels suffered grave losses, the [[gene-seed]] of those who fell thought to be irrecoverable.{{fn|2}}
