Nyxos in turn managed to hijack Chaeroneia's spire top projectors for a brief moment and warned them that there was an [[STC]] present on Chaeroneia, and that both the Adeptus Mechanicus and the approaching [[Chaos]] [[Grand Cruiser]] ''[[Hellforger]]'' desired it.{{Fn|1x}}
They discovered that outside the Manufactorum Noctis was a Titan Field the size of a space port, containing hundreds of [[Titan]]s, and were determined to deny the ''Hellforger'' every last one. They soon ran into more hunter-programs, and the daemon Azulathis, which had possessed the body of Saphentis' Techpriest [[Thalassa]]. Antigonus pounced on Azulathis and attempted to kill it with his servitor body's [[las-cutter]], but it ripped several of his legs out from under him. Saphentis joined the fray and swiftly decapitated Thalassa, forcing Azulathis to emerge and be gunned down by the Grey Knights.{{Fn|1x}}
Archmagos Veneratus Scaecros then arrived with three maniples of [[servitor|death servitors]], and they were forced to make a last stand on the remains of a fallen [[Reaver Battle Titan]], as the ''Hellforger'' began its descent from orbit. Recognising Scaeros, Antigonus broke ranks to try and kill him, followed by Saphentis. Saphentis gave his life delaying Scaecros long enough for Antigonus to take over a nearby [[Warhound Scout Titan]] and crush both of them underfoot. It was then that the [[Castigator]] rose from its tomb to be picked up by the ''Hellforger'', as part of the tribute that Chaeroneia's Dark Mechanicus had offered to [[Warmaster]] [[Abaddon]].{{Fn|1x}}
