According to Epic 40,000 and Imperial Armour 2 (the original, *not* volume 2, just to be confusing) the initial Imperial Fists and White Scars spearheaded the Imperial counter invasion.
The latter also stated that the White Panthers, Storm Lords, Angels Encarmine, Blood Drinkers and Minotaurs were all subsequently cycled in *however* that narrative differs from the standard GW version: New Rynn City fell and 20 years later the world is still at war with no end in sight.
According to at least one recent Dark Angel Codex (I can't speak as for all) Sammael of the Ravenwing was there, whether other companies were deployed and whether any members of the Ravenwing survived to make it planetside I don't know (GW decided to resurrect the fluff about the Ravenwing's transport ship being shot down, thing is when that was originally written the entire company rode jetbikes, so they were all able to disembark before it crashed.. modern Ravenwing not gonna fair as well!)
