The 35th Octobian Regiment of the Imperial Guard was one of several Regiments that took part in putting down a rebellion on the Hive World of Fell Core.[1]
To the surprise of the Guard, they discovered that a Genestealer Cult was behind the rebellion and Space Marines were summoned to Fell Core to destroy the Genestealer infestation. It was too late, however, as the Tyranids soon began to invade Fell Core; the 35th Octobian would defend Hive Tertius during the invasion, overseeing its evacuation as its defenses were breached. Eventually, the Tyranids overwhelmed the Imperium's defenses of the planet and what survivors could be saved were evacuated (among them the survivors of the 35th Octobian), before an Exterminatus was launched, destroying the planet.[1]
