Changes

Hive Infernus was the first to fall. Hades Hive was besieged at the same time, although the presence of Commissar Yarrick prevented the Orks from taking the Hive for a long time, drawing in more and more of Ghazghkulls forces. Hive Helsreach, being a major shipping port and vital to the defence of Secundus, was besieged quickly, althouth the defenders put up a strong fight. Some welded themselves into massive cranes and did battle with [[Gargant]]s. After the conquests of Infernus and Helsreach, the Ork forces spread south towards Hive Acheron. As the Orks approached, a massive wave of [[Space Marines]] crashed onto the surface. They prevented the capture of Achaeron and allowed the Imperial forces a brief respite. Hades Hive fell just before the Space Marines could arrive, the body of Yarrick was found surrounded by Orks. Ghazghkull gained reinforcements from the north and started a new attack on Tartarus Hive. He quickly broke through the thin lines of defence and sieged Tartarus. The Space Marines countered fiercely and managed to kill the Orks so only a few survived. It is said Ghazhkull died here, and when news spread to the Orks they knew it was over. The ranks broke and were pushed back into the jungles within six months.
