→Horus Heresy
Eventually, Corax reassembled the entirety of his surviving Legion at the [[Dexius System]]. There he contemplated on the future of the Raven Guard, with many of his legion wishing to return to Terra to aid the Emperor against Horus' offensive. After evading a [[Night Lords]] attack, Corax was again influenced by the visions of [[Marcus Valerius]] who saw that the [[Space Wolves]] were on the verge of destruction. Corax led the Raven Guard in the [[Battle of Yarant]] to aid the Space Wolves against traitor forces. During the battle, Corax led a suicidal last stand alongside [[Bjorn]], but after witnessing the arrogance and vanity of Horus' forces realized that it was not up to him to determine when he would die. He was a servant of the [[Emperor]], and would continue to aid him against the traitors until he met his end. Thus Corax led an evacuation from [[Yarant]] and expressed his intent to continue resisting the traitorous [[Warmaster]] from the shadows.{{Fn|11}}
Corax and Russ made for [[Deliverance]], eventually meeting up with [[Lion El'Jonson]] at the Raven Guard's Fortress-Monastery. The Lion is was quick to question the Raven Lord's absence from major fronts of the war, but is his ire is put to rest by Russ, who points at the survival of his own legion as evidence of their worth. Russ declares declared he will join The Lion's [[Passage of the Angels|Crusade of Vengeance]], including warriors equipped with new [[Mark VI Power Armour]] produced on [[Kiavahr]]. Corax however is was cautious to commit his bloodied Legion to what he sees saw as a needlessly spiteful waste, and only assigns assigned a small expeditionary force of his Raven Guard to The Lion's forces. Even in this role, Corax's forces will be were used to eliminate key enemy targets ahead of the main Dark Angels fleet in order to spare entire worlds from annihilation. Raven Guard forces later took part in the [[Siege of Barbarus]], assailing the homeworld of the [[Death Guard]] alongside the Dark Angels and Space Wolves.{{Fn|17}}
