The Fire Wasps later fought in the [[Horus Heresy]], at the start of which they had some 200 Titans (the most numerous of which were [[Warlord Titan|Warlords]]). It suffered heavy casualties in the opening moves of the [[Schism of Mars]], as the traitorous [[Fabricator-General]] [[Kelbor-Hal]] sought to remove the one true threat to his power on the Red Planet.{{Fn|15}} Essentially broken into detachments charged with exacting revenge against the [[Dark Mechanicum]] and defending the Imperium, the Fire Wasps also fought on [[Paramar V]], the [[Cataclysm of Iron]], the [[War Within the Webway]], and in the system of [[Tallarn]], whose inhabitants courageously fought to resist the Renegade Legions.{{Fn|14}} Legio Ignatum also took part in the [[Siege of Travo'anor]] alongside maniples of [[Legio Crucius]] and [[Legio Destructor]].{{Fn|18}} During the Heresy, the Ignatum's loyalty was nearly their undoing due to their grievous losses.{{Fn|19}}
The Ignatum would go on to serve in the [[Siege of Terra]], deploying its full Legio strength at the battle of the Mercury exultant killzone region of the [[Imperial Palace]]. {{Fn|15a}} During the battle on Terra, the Legio was led by Princeps Maximus [[Cydon]] aboard the [[Warmonger Class Titan]] ''[[Imperious Prima]]''.{{Fn|4}} In the battle for the Mercury-Exultant Killzone, the Legio Ignatum along with an array of other Loyalist Legios and [[Knight House]]s entered into an apocalyptic battle against the [[Legio Mortis]] led by the ''[[Dies Irae]]''.{{Fn|15a}} Though inflicting heavy losses upon the enemy, the Legio Ignatum defensive lines were eventually breached by Legio Mortis and their Princeps Maximus Cydon was killed in battle when the ''Imperious Prima'' was destroyed.{{Fn|15e}} Shattered remnants of Legio Ignatum later took part in the defense defence of the [[Eternity Gate (Imperial)|Eternity Gate]] under the command of [[Sanguinius]] but were eventually overwhelmed by the sheer number of the traitor forces.{{Fn|17}}
After the lifting of the siege of the Palace, the Legio took part in the campaigns to track down and punish the heretics. Throughout the long and bloody campaigns, the Fire Wasps kept their fierce hatred of the [[Legio Mortis]], their old rivals turned to Chaos. This infamous Traitor Legion battered the walls of the Imperial Palace, and terrorised and systematically exterminated the populations of dozens of [[Hive|hive cities ]] on Paramar and Tallarn. The hatred for the traitor Legio burns in the hearts of the members of the Legio Ignatum and one day old debts must be repaid.{{Cite This}}
