The Battle of Tytus took place in 676.M40.[1]

Overview

During fierce fighting on the mountainous moon of Tytus, the Blood Angels of Strike Force Alenso succumb to the Red Thirst en masse. Though they smash into their greenskin foes with unstoppable fury, the Blood Angels are swiftly engulfed. Buried beneath the relentless green tide, it appears that Strike Force Alenso is lost. Yet at the last moment, a heroic drop-offensive by the Elysian 46th Airborne rescues the Blood Angels from disaster. In the battle’s wake, Captain Alenso personally honours the Elysians’ Colonel Vandegrahst, displaying a humility that leaves the Imperial Guard officer speechless.[1]
