Again it was left to [[Commissar]] [[Yarrick]] to defend [[Armageddon]] from Ghazghkull's forces. He did this by forging the [[PDF]] and [[Armageddon Steel Legion|Armageddon]] Regiments into a perfectly disciplined fighting force, an 'unstoppable machine of iron and steel'. When Ghazghkull heard that his old nemesis was once again in the fray he redoubled his efforts and tried to break the back of Armageddon.{{Cite ThisMarker End}}
Yarrick also received much help from various [[Space Marine Chapter]]s, as they knew all too well the strategic value of Armageddon.{{Fn|2c}} The Space Marines began to establish battle lines and [[Von Strab]] was hunted down and killed by a unit of [[Penal Legion]] troopers known as the [[Last Chancers]]. The situation improved dramatically for the Imperial forces as the [[Season of Fire]] broke upon Armageddon. Temperatures outside the Hives soared until even the Orks were forced inside. Faced with this new situation, a stalemate has been reached.{{Fn|4b}}
