Shortly after, Forrix followed his Primarch into rebellion against the [[Emperor]]. During the [[Battle at the Phall system]], Forrix had primary responsibility for planning the Iron Warriors' void attack on the [[Imperial Fists]]' [[Retribution Fleet]] marooned in the [[Phall system]].{{Fn|3b}} Later, Forrix accompanied Perturabo into the [[Eye of Terror]] and led the Iron Warriors alongside [[Emperor's Children]] during the [[Battle of Iydris]]. Forrix accompanied Perturabo and [[Volk]] during the journey to [[Sarum]] and then to [[Deluge]] in order to retrieve [[Angron]] and bring him to the muster of traitor forces on [[Ullanor]]. During [[Horus]]' muster Ullanor, Forrix was assigned the duty of coordinating the massive influx of traitor forces arriving in orbit.{{Fn|7}} During the [[Solar War]], Forrix was a major traitor commander who oversaw the capture of the [[Uranus]] and [[Jupiter]] regions alongside his Primarch.{{Fn|8}} He went on to take part in the [[Siege of Terra]].
During the Siege, Forrix was shocked when Perturabo placed fellow Triarch [[Kroeger]] in charge of the capture of the [[Lion's Gate Spaceport]].{{Fn|9}} Forrix was instead placed in charge of an infiltration operation, moving into the Spaceport under the cover of a botched offensive on its walls.{{Fn|9a}} Their mission was to capture the bridges linking the Lion's Gate to its spaceport, but Forrix and his men were cut off and trapped behind enemy lines for weeks. Despite their situation Kroeger offered them no support, and ultimately Forrix was the only survivor of the 1,000 Battle-Brothers under his command. This sacrifice had been a mere feint by Perturabo to allow the ''[[Iron Blood]]'' to dock at the highest levels of the Space Port. Realizing his Primarch had so callously thrown away the lives of him and his men for such a thankless mission, Forrix became embittered and realized that simple warriors like him were mere insects to the [[Chaos Gods]] and their champions. Though his faith in Perturabo was broken Forrix still continued to fight on, stating he'd rather win a battle for nothing than be defeated.{{Fn|9b}}
Forrix later led the retreat of the Iron Warriors during the [[Battle of Terra]]{{Fn|1a}}.
