|Outcome =Strategic Traitor Victory<br>-Ruinstorm created<br>Tactical Loyalist Victory<br>-Ultramar mostly defended
Thanks to the mass carnage and pain unleashed, the Word Bearers were successful in strengthening the Ruinstorm, creating havoc across [[Ultima Segmentum]] and effectively dividing the Imperium in half.{{Fn|2}} Those loyalist legions now isolated from Terra; not only the Ultramarines but also [[Dark Angels]] and [[Blood Angels]], were forced to muster at [[Macragge]] where Guilliman eventually formed [[Imperium Secundus]].{{Fn|3}} The Dark Angels continued to purge traitor forces from Ultramar during the hunt for [[Konrad Curze]], most notably during the [[Battle of Zepath]].{{Fn|6}}
Even [[Terra]] became the focus of the war and the Primarchs left to wage battle elsewhere, fighting continued to rage in Ultramar from remnants of the Shadow Crusade. These included the [[Butcher Fleets]] of the [[World Eaters]] and the [[Argolian Massacres]] of the [[Word Bearers]].{{Fn|11}}
