Following the fall of Lion's Gate, Perturabo landed on Terra's surface and set up a command center to direct the siege. With Horus increasingly losing touch with the [[Materium]], it fell to Perturabo to command the war effort and he became the face of the enemy to the defenders of Terra. With the blessing of the Warmaster, Perturabo controlled his allies through a command staff that consisted of [[Abaddon]] and the [[Mournival]], [[Ahriman]], [[Typhus]], [[Eidolon]], and [[Krostovok]]. Perturabo directly connected himself to the traitor data network, absorbing enormous quantities of data and directing every facet of the siege with his own mind. In this state, commanding the greatest siege in history, Abaddon suspected that Perturabo was finally happy. In an uncharacteristically good mood, Perturabo praised Abaddon when he noticed the same flaw in the [[Saturnine Gate]] that he recently had also discovered. However Perturabo was worried that Dorn also knew of the flaw, and exploiting it would be a trap by his brother. As a result, he allowed Abaddon and the Emperor's Children to attack Saturnine and suffer the losses and humiliation that would come with it should the assault fail.{{Fn|17}} Sure enough, Dorn had known of the flaw and ambushed the traitors as they attacked.{{Fn|17a}}

After the setback at Saturnine, Perturabo began to despair over the state of his allies. All save he and the Iron Warriors had by now fully fallen to Chaos, and with his warriors marched all kinds of [[Warp]] abominations. Perturabo realized that the war was no longer one of Legion vs. Legion and the ultimate test against his brother Rogal was now tainted. The final straw for Perturabo came after Horus informed Perturabo that he was to disperse his Iron Warriors amongst the various warzones and that his position was to be taken over by [[Mortarion]] and the [[Death Guard]]. Finally having had enough, Perturabo ordered the Iron Warriors to evacuate Terra and withdrew to the ''[[Iron Blood]]''.{{Fn|18a18b}}
Later, aboard the ''Iron Blood'' off [[Mars]], Perturabo watches the data coming in regard to the final actions of the Siege of Terra. He violently rages at being denied what should have been his greatest triumph, destroying whatever can be found around him with ''[[Forgebreaker]]''. Now hating both sides equally, Perturabo contemplates killing Horus once he (in his mind by that point) inevitably prevails. Perturabo realizes he will need further power to survive in a sea of enemies, and begins to wonder how to evolve himself into something far deadlier.{{Fn|20}}
