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. The loss of his second, [[Gharal (Captain)|Gharal]], particularly shook him. Moreover 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 was present when [[Argonis]] informed Perturabo of Horus' decision to diesperse the Iron Warriors during to the various warfronts in the Siege, and that the Lord of Irons own position would be taken by [[Mortarion]] and the [[Battle Death Guard]]. The act along with the general state of corruption amongst the traitor forces caused Perturabo to decide to abandon the Siege and evacuate Terra]]. Forrix complied with the command, but internally despaired that they would all be damned.{{Fn|1a10}}.
