Traitor victory The World Eaters and Word Bearers take the training world of Ultramar.

The World Eaters and Word Bearers stormed Armatura — the great military-college world of Ultramar, where aspirants were trained. The veteran elite of the Evocati met the enemy with ambushes and traps, bringing buildings down upon Angron himself, but the world fell — a strategic wound that compounded Calth.
