===The Horus Heresy===

====Betrayal====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}} Angron and the World Eaters were first known to have worked to Lupercal's ends during the war with the [[Auretian Technocracy]], when Angron's 203rd Expeditionary Fleet linked up with the [[63rd Expeditionary Fleet|63rd]] of Horus. A war started under false pretences so that Horus could secure valuable [[STC]] machines with which to win the loyalty of the [[Mechanicum]], the World Eaters worked in concert with the Sons of Horus to obliterate the Auretian civilisation.{{Fn|23}} When word of the rebellion on [[Istvaan III]] arrived, Angron was a member of Horus' war council which determined that the imminent campaign of reconquest on the planet was the perfect opportunity to rid their legions of the personnel believed unlikely to turn against the Emperor.{{Fn|15g}}
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}}
