The Weirdwaaagh! consisted of an enormous Ork horde led by a mighty Prophet of [[Mork]], an immensely powerful [[Weirdboy]] by the name of [[Zagdakka]]. So great were his powers that he had been responsible for the previous psychic attack which decimated the Astropath's of Columnus. In addition, Zagdakka was able to use his powers to maintain discipline over his Boyz, producing an Ork fighting force that was uncharacteristically coordinated and focused. Though the Iron Hands had been warned of Zagdakka from Shadow Captain Stenn, they had refused to heed his caution and found themselves unprepared. Zagdakka was able to use his psychic powers to seemingly erase an entire section of Urdri's five hundred foot wall, taking its defenders with it. As the Orks swarmed into the breach, they were met by Raven Guard forces. Stenn however was horrified to see the Iron Hands assembled to his rear, watching the battle but refusing to come to his aid. The Raven Guard were being used as bait.{{Fn|1a}}
Soon enough Captain Stenn was scooped up into the air by the psychic mighty of Zagdakka and ripped to pieces by telekinesis. As the last Raven Guard fell, Kristos' [[Land Raider Redeemer]]s opened fire, sending the entire breach into a flash of flame. The distracted Warpboss Zagdakka and his entire retinue were annihilated in the sudden assault. With the death of their eleaders leader's death, the psychic discipline over the Orks crumbled. Greenskins began to retreat in confusion, freeze where they were, or attack one another. Soon enough, the surviving Imperial forces were able to massacre the Orks. Nonetheless, the method of victory by Kristos proved controversial even on [[Medusa]].{{Fn|1a}}
