Thread 1
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

*Krieg/Armageddon experimental armored division arrives to break stalemate, soon followed by Imperial Fists and more Ultramarines
*Orks show up to fight both sides
*Black Templars show up and wreck havoc
*Rak'Gol show up and board the Black Templar ship, presumably they got purged "off camera" between threads 1 and 2

Thread 2
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*Imperial siege of Chaos held Groxbridge is still ongoing
*Both sides get reinforcements (Iron Warriors for Chaos, additional Guard and Iron Hands for Imperials)
*Admech takes an interest in a giant bident and sends an Emperor class Titan to retrieve it
*Both sides start bombarding the crap out of everything
*Iron Warriors flood the trench tunnel systems with sewage
*Orks return with a new fleet, attack both sides again, also the large naval fleet in orbit
*Necrons are awakened by bombardment start attacking everyone
*Titan gets into position near the bident and sets fire to everything, uses bident to wipe out a large chunk of the ork forces, including a stompa, then gets badly damaged by a chaos attack
*Debris from space battle starts crashing into the Groxbridge area, including the prow of a battleship
*Necrons unleash a C'tan shard and other reserve forces, C'tan shard uses bident to unleash havoc, mostly against the Orks, then absorbs energy from the crashing debris to free itself and turns on the Necrons.  Surviving Necrons flee with the bident
*Inquisitor demands additional orbital bombardment to area, bombardment finishes off the titan
*Between the fire wielding C'tan, falling space debris, and the orbital bombardment, pretty much everyone near the main battlefield is dead unless they were in fortified cover, and the previously muddy area is now a desert, Chaos forces are devastated and switch to guerrilla warfare, Orks retreat again
*Another titan shows up and blows the C'tan to bits with the help of the aeronautica (it doesn't actually die though)

They start working with Chaos to get Stonehenge operational which annoys their Dark Eldar allies
*Stryxis and Enoulians show up in orbit, get curbstomped by the Navy
*Imperial forces systematically cleanse surface of van Chijeck Island of Tau, Dark Eldar, Chaos forces (mostly zombies), and maybe even not-Chaos traitor Space Marines
