[[Image:TacticalSupportMarine.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Heresy-era Iron Warriors Space Marine{{Fn|20f}}]]
The Iron Warriors were ordered to join the second assault on the Traitors' position on [[Isstvan V]], but instead declared their true allegiance to [[Horus]] and fell upon their former brothers of the [[Raven Guard]] and the [[Iron Hands]] without mercy during the [[Drop Site Massacre]].{{Fn|1d}} Following the Massacre on Isstvan V, the next major action of the Iron Warriors was the ambush of the [[Imperial Fists]] fleet [[Battle of Phall|at Phall]].{{Fn|13}} While these main contingents of the Iron Warriors under Perturabo became major assets to the debeloping developing Traitor campaign, the Legion saw a great number of garrisons and isolated expeditions declare for the Loyalists or go completely rogue at the Horus Heresy's start.{{Fn|88}}
Following the action at Phall and the [[First Siege of Hydra Cordatus|reduction of Hydra Cordatus]], the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] under [[Perturabo]]'s personal command would journey with [[Fulgrim]] to the [[Crone World]] of [[Iydris]], pursuing an ancient weapon known as the [[Angel Exterminatus]]. However the [[Battle of Iydris|entire affair]] was a ploy by Fulgrim to achieve [[Daemon Prince|daemonhood]].{{Fn|14}}
