===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. Horus was able to feed the flames of Angron's discontent with the Emperor's prior behaviour, reinforcing Angron's perception that he had been betrayed, and that the Emperor was a moral weakling. When the Sons of Horus broke with the Emperor's Imperium, Angron and the World Eaters were with him.{{Fn|5c}} 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}}.
