Changes

During the battle, the site of [[Koth Ridge]] became an intense bloodbath between the Orks and many Dark Angels companies. [[Interrogator-Chaplain]] [[Boreas (Dark Angel)|Boreas]] was one of the key players in this battle{{Fn|1}}, as was [[Veteran Sergeant]] [[Naaman]]. The Orks had set up a [[tellyporta]] system to bring more of their troops in from off-world, under the direction of the Warlords [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka]] and [[Nazdreg Ug Urdgrub]]. Naaman was one of the Dark Angels who was lost, but he and his [[Scout Company]] held off the Ork advance long enough for the [[Deathwing]] to arrive and disable the energy relays and destroy the tellyportas.{{Fn|1}} Later, utterly outnumbered, the Dark Angels [[3rd Company (Dark Angels)|3rd Company]] under the command of Master [[Belial]] (later to become [[Dark Angels Grand Master|Grand Master]] of the Deathwing) made good their defences, preparing to sell their lives dearly until the rest of the Chapter could arrive to reinforce them.{{Fn|3}}

There are also uncorroborated reports that [[Harbingers]] [[Chapter]] also fought in this battle.{{Fn|4}}
