Caught off guard and unprepared to face this grim foe, the Black Templar forces fail to erradicate the discovered constructs and therefore are unable to seal the tomb worlds entrance before it's ascend can begin.

M40.160.724 - Space Wolves reinforcements arrive

Having picked up distress calls from the Black Templar deployment, later this year Space Wolves forces in the system arrive at the planet to relief their brethren.
Failing to make contact with their battle-brothers, the wolves make planetfall to explore the Black Templars faith.

Thunderwolves charge into the awakening Necron warriors

Shocked but unsurprised, they find no remains of the Black Templar forces yet their scouting patrols hit Necron forces on multiple sites.
Blows are traded, yet no decisive victories are scored when the planet is hit by a mild warpstorm, denying the Imperial forces the opportunity for vox coordination.

Fanrir carves through the enemy lines

The last established contact confirms Dreadnought Fanrir Wyrmwrath and his brethren in battle with a Necron patrol.

M40.160.917 - The tide turns

When the warp storms recide, the ortibal forces of the Rout fail to establish communication with the forces deployed on the planet's surface.
Therefore, scouting troops are deployed to rediscover the lost brethren.
When the Sons of Russ finally retain Fanrirs position, the situation is bare in all its grimness: Fanrir is caught and close to being overwhelmed by the rising numbers of Necron forces.
Quickly the wolves charge into battle, yet are fended off, and eventually, Fanrir, having battled for months
and years bravely, has to give in.

M40.160.917 - The geneseed is lost

Shocked and driven mad by the loss of their veteran brother, the Rout can do all but give in to the Curse of the Wulfen. In their uncontrolled rage, their only thoughts are to vengeance the loss of Fanrir and retain his geneseed and sarcophagus to let his deeds carry on in another brethrens actions.

Space Wolves forces rediscover Fanrirs fallen body at his last recorded position

His remains are recovered amongst the smoking ruins of his last recorded position, but the retention forces are driven off by the rising number of Necrons, and his relics are supposedly forever lost to humanity.

The Great Devourer joins the fray

M40.160.402 - Black Templars driven off Perophles IV by Tyranid and Chaos forces

Imperial control over Perophles system is getting out of hand further after a massive engagement of unlikely proportions took place on in the jungles of Peroples IV.
The planet itself being subject to planetary invasion from the air space controlling chaos forces, Imperial forces find themselves being too busy to prepare their defences as they discover a stealth operation of Tau forces in the system to keep them occupied. When thing look like they can't go any grimmer, an invasion of Tyranid forces reaches the system and starts going planetface to defend they're prey from the incoming rivalling predators.
The Black Templar forces quickly get caught between the forceful impact of the arch enemy and the reckless charge of the Tyranid vanguard, both human and Tau getting vaporised alike, leaving the planet defenseless and eventually getting having the Great Devourer establishing a beachhead on the battlesite.

Defeat was close and the threat of being overrun well and truly closing down on the dug in Imperial troops when their artillery fire finally prevailed, and the nigh-unstoppable Necron forces slowly dwindled until the flood of undead bodies became a manageable dripple of resistance.
