Every Black Library author writes void battles the exact same stupid way in every book and I'm sick of it.
>Admiral A sits in his obviously superior flagship in the middle of his numerically-superior fleet. Nothing can beat him.
>Admiral B shows up. He is known to be a fierce and cunning foe, but mathematically has no chance of winning. He attacks anyway.
>The battle is joined. Admiral A is winning easily, as expected.
>Suddenly, Admiral B exploits the weakness that has been made obvious pages ago. Admiral A is caught completely flat-footed.
>Admiral A's fleet is utterly raped on the span of two pages and is completely defeated. Any resistance left is not worth mentioning, as all that matters is Admiral B won.
>Within 10 pages, the supposedly massive battle is over. Now we can return focus to Main Character C.

The battles in the Nightlord trilogy tend to be a little different.
Mostly because they focus on the deadly ballet the daemonic captain performs with his Battlebarge vs some Imperial Navy ships.
It's described rather beautifully in my opinion.
They have to hurry through boring shit like everything except the primarch's daddy issues, they do need to release 50 more books before Horus even reaches Terra after all.
