Technically they should have been destroyed since they lost
the close combat. Think of it like this: the 'thirsters charged
forward, slaughtering all in their path, but were subsequently
surrounded and eliminated by Warlocks and Aspect Warriors. The names
of those warriors that held off the foul daemons long enough for them
to be caught will be remembered forever.
