===Horus Heresy===
The legion was corrupted by the powers of [[Chaos]] which enveloped the rebel forces under Horus, and most of the Death's Heads fell towards the vile decay of [[Nurgle]], ironically that same entity which had so disgusted the Titan crews fighting against the hordes of [[Plague Bearer]]s on the moon of [[Davin]] before Horus fell. The Legio Mortis became the most notorious of the traitor Titan Legions. The Legio directly supported Horus before his daemon-possessed treachery against the Emperor. The Legio followed him willingly. When the Horus Heresy began with the virus-bombing of [[Isstvan III]], it was the Legio Mortis which made the landings to scour the corpse-packed hives for the last survivors.
During the [[Schism of Mars]], the Legio Mortis forces supported the traitor [[Fabricator General]] [[Kelbor-Hal]], and were the first titan legion to walk in support of [[Horus]]. These contingents of Legio Mortis, however, were all but destroyed by [[Legio Tempestus]], save for the Hellstorm Cannon of the [[Imperator]] [[Aquila Ignis]]. Some say that it was mutated strains of the [[Virus bomb|Life-Eater Virus]] that was unleashed upon Isstvan III that brought about the final corruption of the Legio. When the Legio Mortis landed on Earth to besiege the Emperor's palace they were warped and mutated almost beyond recognition. The [[adamantium]] skins of their Titans were pocked and bubbled with foul effluvia, great tentacles of flesh and metal lashed and their titan heads had been transformed into the visages of daemons. The Legion breached the walls of the [[Imperial Palace]] during the siege. The Death's Heads also fought on [[Ruin of Maedran|Maedran]], [[Paramar V]], and [[Tallarn]].
