==Prelude==
[[Ortan Glazer]], son of [[Conrad Glazer]], had taken over his father's farm in the twenty years since the [[Last Stand at Glazer's Creek|first battle at Glazer's Creek]]. Ortan had heard rumours of [[ork]] presence near his farm. These rumours were confirmed when [[Imperial Guard Commander|Commander]] [[Stormfjord]] of the [[24th Ventrillian Nobles]] arrived at the farm, and had his troops construct makeshift defences to prepare for a coming ork raid.{{Fn|1a}}
==The First Assualt==
As the first wave of orks neared the farm, Commander Stormfjord urged his men to hold their fire until the xenos were at short range. When the orks closed the [[autocannon]] teams opned up upon the [[Killa Kan]] that was closing in. Commander [[Bauhin]] ordered troopers to open fire upon an ork [[trukk]]. Despite their best efforts the trukk smashed into the stanchions of the grain silo. The orks were now in close combat with the [[Ventillia]]ns.{{Fn|1d}}
