==Great Crusade==
During the [[Great Crusade]] Corax's talents for planning and sabotage were of great effect and the [[Raven Guard]], fighting frequently under the orders of [[Horus]], became renowned for an unmatched ability with covert ops, sabotage, infiltration and lightning strikes. But the pair never saw eye-to-eye, and after an argument, the two Primarchs nearly fought each other. Corax left Horus's command{{Cite This}}.
==Horus Heresy==
The Raven Guard primarch only met Horus again on [[Isstvan V]] {{Cite This}}.During the [[Drop Site Massacre]], Corax was among the Primarchs leading his the loyalist effort. In the battle he personally engaged [[Word Bearers]] Primarch [[Lorgar]] in combat, impaling him with his [[Lighting Claw]]s. Just as he was about to finish Lorgar, [[Konrad Curze]] intervened and forced Corax to retreat.{{Fn|5}}
Though grievously wounded he escaped the slaughter with a handful of loyal Space Marines, Corax was sent back to his legion's home world to rebuild his forces as soon as possible. The Primarch was desperate as the Imperium was collapsing, his Emperor needed warriors that Corax could not provide. Searching for a solution among the [[Librarium]] of the Ravenspire, Corax found the ancient books of genetic research providing the techniques used to create the first enhanced warriors of the Emperor, those techniques Corax duplicated to create Space Marines at a frightening rate. Despite the warnings he found amongst the old books, he started rebuilding his Legion. As the Legion started fighting alone, isolated from the other Imperial Forces, nothing is known for sure of the initial results, but an element of response came with the [[Space Wolves]] Saga of the Weregeld, which tells of ferocious monsters lead to combat by their Raven Guard Battle Brothers{{Cite This}}.
