→Second War for Armageddon
Ironically, Yarrick led a heroic defence of the Hive that eventually distracted Ghazghkull from the planetary battles. This infuriated the Ork enough to send more and more forces against Hades Hive. The battle escalated to such proportions that Ghazghkull considered the fight a matter of personal pride, and took command of the forces assaulting Hades himself.{{Fn|6b}}
Eventually, salvation arrived for Armageddon's defenders. [[Chapter Master|Commander]] [[Dante]] of the [[Blood Angels]] led an Imperial army which took the fight to the Orks. He took control of the planet's defence and had von Strab arrested for crimes against the Imperium.{{Fn|6b}} The forces involved were the [[Space Marines]] of the [[Salamanders]], [[Blood Angels]] and [[Ultramarines]]{{Fn|6b}}, along with [[Imperial Guard]] and [[Squats]].{{CME}} Although Hades Hive eventually fell, the distraction provided by Yarrick's stalemate of Ghazghkull gave the Imperial forces enough time to mount a counterattack that finally broke the back of the Ork invasion force.{{Fn|6b}}
