→Horus Heresy
Horus' initial assault devastated many cities and strongholds including House Devine. Over the following months, the insidious whispers of Slaanesh spread through their fatigued ranks. Their officers became lethargic and interested only in their sports, using their mighty machines to hunt down the wild animals of Molech. Soon, they began to meet in secret cabals, committing depraved rites and ceremonies within the heart of the Loyalist camp.{{Fn|1a}}
The Knights of House Devine betrayed the Imperium when Horus launched a massive offensive against the loyalist forces. The Loyalists found themselves trapped between the advancing enemy forces and the Renegade Knights attacking from behind, allowing the Forces of Chaos to punch through the Imperial lines, blocking any routes of escape. Of the entire Imperial host only one in a hundred survived the campaign.{{Fn|1a}}
They also fought beside [[Legio Vulpa]] and [[Legio Mortis]] in the [[Battle of Beta-Garmon]].{{Fn|4}}
