    Deal damage to Mek until he retreats.

    Position Cyrus, Tarkus, and Thaddeus behind cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects), keeping your Force Commander (FC) in the open to prevent enemies from reaching your gunners.
  7. 7
    Defend against Ork attacks, using grenades for clustered enemies and assault jumps to scatter close threats. Retreat quickly to avoid heavy damage.

    Mek will attack as a melee fighter with a shockwave and explosives. Avoid his barrier skill, which damages melee troops and makes him immune to damage temporarily.

    Take the nearby beacon before proceeding to Thule.

    Speak to Thule and defend the position against waves of Tyranids until ordered to assist him.

    Head to Captain Thule to complete the level.
