Hello, when the Word Bearers and the rest of the traders forces executed the 2nd wave of the Isstvan V attack, did they have any tanks with them or was it only bodies and bolters? I know they had Storm Eagles, Dreadnoughts and dreadclaw drop pods but did they have time to deploy tanks?
Anyone actually know this answer?

Yes, they used tanks (including super-heavies).

Dam, kwel.

Firstly, it's traitors.
Secondly, yes. The second wave was well established by the time the first wave fell back. The Iron Warriors had even set up proper fortifications. The point of the second wave was to reinforce the first against the dug in lines of Horus and his followers. Tanks, artillery and aircraft were all needed to accomplish this task.
