Challange still as a Shield

Hi,

I played a game Space Wolf vs Chaos in which this awkward close-combat situation occured: 

I charged with my Wolfpriest & Wolf Guard Terminators a single Chaos Lord. The Chaos Lord issued a challange & the Wolf Priest accepted. All combatants survived the first round of combat. The Terminators attacked the Chaos Lord as the sole target.

 

In the next round a Chaos Maulerfiend joined the combat. The Terminators (armed with Power Axes) could not harm the Maulerfiend, so I wanted them to continue to attack the Chaos Lord. The opponent-player insisted that the Terminators can't attack the Chaos Lord, cause he was fighting a challange & he was not the only target in that combat.

 

The rules in the rulebook would suggest that he is right, so my Terminators basicly did nothing for that round of combat.

 

Is this the designers idea in this Edition & does it really work that way?

 

Thx :)

I think by then he was already locked in the challenge.  He could have attempted a Glorious Intervention with the Wolf Guard Terminator Leader however.  Which would have allowed the Wolf Priest to attack the Maulerfiend (with his S6 thanks to his Crozius (Power Maul)).
