Correction: Why superheavily armored guy with inhuman strength and reflexes run into close combat? That's easy: even peasants can use heavy weaponry, grenade launchers, artillery, etc and have some success even against astartes. While melee combat leaves to most of their enemies no chances.
I have always imagined he ordered to leave behind trenches because some rockets hit the building above his troops, and he didn't want to wait it to collapse on them. Or he just hoped they can fight back the remaining orks with the newly joined dreadnought:
i guess the ork said... "WAAAAAAAAAAGH" when the Dreadnough proceed that action
never realized, until i got into the fluff, how terribly scaled everything was in that intro lol
was still a cool intro.
why the guy with the heavy bolter ran into close combat i'll never know!
another great mystery..
