→The Crusade Underway: Fixed a typo
However, the crusade came to many worlds that were beyond saving and suffered setbacks. Where there was no hope, Guilliman sought instead to bring vengeance and [[Exterminatus]], as was the case with the [[Hive World]] [[Bhundar]] and the Daemonic-corrupted [[Cardinal World]] of [[Gloriphia]]. At [[Terra Secundus]], the Crusade fleet suffered ambushes and catastrophic malfunctions, having been lured into a terrible trap by the [[Alpha Legion]].

Aboard the massive vessel ''[[Zar-Quaesitor]]'', thousands of Primaris Space Marines – some comprising entirely new Chapters and others designated as reinforcements for existing ones – were awakened out of stasis and made ready to join the fray. On [[Rynn's World]], the arrival of the Indomitus Crusade broke the daemonic legions of the [[Daemon Prince]] [[Rhaxor]]. After the battle, the stunned [[Crimson Fists]] were given reinforcements of Primaris Marines.
