At that time, Golgarth commanded the [[Voidrippers]]{{Fn|1i}} and when the [[Chaos Warband|Warband]] discovered that [[Ascalon]] served as the [[Stormwatcher]]'s [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|Homeworld]], the [[Chaos Lord]] ordered a full scale invasion{{Fn|1e}}. They began their attack, after opening a [[Warp Rift]] within one of Ascalon's forts and caught the Chapter by surprise{{Fn|1i}}. The Voidrippers were joined in the invasion by their servants the [[Goreforged]] [[Chaos Cult|Cult]], which Golgarth ordered his Warband to use as fodder against the Stormwatchers{{Fn|1g}}. They were also joined by their allies, the [[Chaos Knight]] [[Abraxas]]{{Fn|1h}} and the [[Khorne]] [[Daemons]] of the [[Gore-Drenched One]] [[Herald of Khorne|Herald]]{{Fn|1i}}. This large force allowed the Voidripppers to begin overwhelming the Stormwatchers, who were led by their [[Chapter Master|Grand Master]] [[Godfrey Magnusson]]{{Fn|1f}}. However the tide finally turned against the Warband, when the contrite [[Inquisitor]] who had entered [[Fort Blood]], and brought about the invasion, arrived with the [[Freeblade]] [[Ambrose Caradoc]]. Their strength{{Fn|1h}} allowed the Stormwatchers to attack the Voidrippers captured fort and they sought to close the Warp Rift. Doing so would stop the Voidrippers from receiving any further reinforcements, but Golgarth and the Gore-Drenched One stood watch over it.{{Fn|1i}}
[[Chapter Master|Grand Master]] [[Godfrey Magnusson|Magnusson]] knew the [[Chaos Lord]] would be there, though, and so ordered his [[Stormwatchers]] to purge other areas of the fort. This was to prevent Golgarth from being given the chance to reveal the [[Chapter]]'s true history with the[[Voidrippers]], to any Stormwatchers he encountered. Instead Magnusson was aided by the [[Inquisitor]], who had entered the [[Blood Fort]] and as a result now knew of the connection between them. The two would then make for the [[Warp Rift]], where they met Golgarth, the [[Herald of Khorne|Herald]] and several other Voidrippers. In order to make it a fair fight, though, Golgarth killed the other members of his [[Chaos Warband|Warband]], so that only he and the [[Gore-Drenched One]] faced them. Magnusson was surprised that the Chaos Lord showed something akin to honorhonour, but Golgarth simply stated that the Stormwatchers never knew what it took to be real warriors. In the fierce battle that followed, however, it was the [[Imperial]]s who were triumphant. After the Chaos Lord was slain and the Gore-Drenched One was banished to the Warp, the Grand Master and Inquisitor closed the Warp Rift. This was a hard blow to the Warband's invasion and they also suffered heavily losses in the attack on the fort. Despite this, though, the remnants of the Voidrippers invading forces continue to fight on Ascalon and now remain active in the [[Caligari Sector]].{{Fn|1i}}
