History
They were led by the Loyalist World Eater Endryd Haar, who had drawn together other similarly disaffected Legionaries. After they were formed, the Fangs prioritized the pursuit of revenge against Warmaster Horus' forces above all else. In battle, they would often disguise themselves as members of the Traitor Legions and get as close as possible to their foes' lines, before attacking without warning.[1]
