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 a claim perhaps verified by surviving Imperial vid-logs of the Siege, which show the World Eaters breaching the walls with Angron at their head{{Fn|5c}}. However, it is also said that it was one of their champions, [[Khârn]], who was the first to enter said breach{{Cite This}}.
