===The Horus Heresy===
[[Image:WEMidHeresy.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mid-Heresy World Eater]]
As the hour of the Horus Heresy grew near, Horus had little problem with corrupting the bitter and unhappy Angron. The World Eaters were probably the first Legion to join the Sons of Horus in their revolt and would be instrumental in the battles of [[Isstvan III]], [[Isstvan V]], [[Shadow Crusade]], and the [[Siege of Terra]] itself. {{Cite This}} Legion records claim that it was the World Eaters who made the first breach in the walls of the [[Imperial Palace]]{{Fn|19a}}, and it is said that one of their champions, [[Khârn]], was the first to enter said breach{{Cite This}}.
