I - sample collection area;
II - imperial chapel;
III - mission end.
Be sure to equip Tarkus and your main hero with flamethrowers. Get the best available pistol for Thaddeus and a good melee weapon. Avitus should wield a heavy bolter. Bring along some grenades and explosives.
Head north west. You must secure the communications array, but it's surrounded with exploding xenos. Keep the enemies at a distance and dispatch them using flamethrower and Thaddeuses jetpacks.
After securing the communications array stand by it and eliminate the enemies incoming from the north (one of the rocks over there holds a Hive Node - send Thaddeus to destroy it.
After securing the area collect samples from the toxic tank.
Toxins - your objective during the mission.
If you want to secure the chapel, head north. If you want to avoid fighting the Tyranid hordes stick to the edge of the map - this will allow you to encounter only a handful of marauders. By the temple you will encounter a larger group of Tyranids, but it's not a one you should have much problems with.
Time to get out. I suggest taking the path marked red on the map above. If you secured the chapel head back towards the toxins and from there towards the end of the mission.
You will reach a kind of Tyranid base camp. Secure the communications array near the entrance and continue north east.
You will receive a secondary objective - destroy the nests within the base. They're not too resilient - a continued heavy bolter fire should be enough to destroy it.
There aren't many tough enemies within the base - the exploding spores are the most dangerous. The situation will change dramatically when you'll reach your objective - a Hive Tyrant will appear. Set up the turrets and torch him with flamethrowers.
At some point a Dreadnought will join the fray - it's flamethrower will come in handy.
