During the Heresy Angron would team up in the [[Shadow Crusade]] with [[Lorgar]] and his [[Word Bearers]] to strike at [[Ultramar]] in conjunction with the traitor offensive at the [[Battle of Calth]]. Angron, seeing Lorgar as a weakling, refused to cooperate with him and frequently wasted time sacking and butchering strategically worthless targets. The tensions between the two Primarch's boiled over to a near battle, which was only interrupted by a [[Dark Eldar]] attempt to assassinate Angron himself. After the two Primarch's worked together against the Dark Eldar, they put their feud aside.{{Fn|8}}

However, Lorgar, recognizing Angron's instability and hidden sorrow over his forced departure from Nuceria, recommended that Angron return to his adopted homeworld to find a sense of closure as well as possibly overcome the Butcher's Nails, which were slowly killing him. When the two Primarchs arrived, however, they discovered that the slave-lords of Nuceria had massacred Angron's comrades and told the population that he had fled during their last stand. Infuriated, Angron ordered that the World Eaters and Word Bearers purge Nuceria of its population.{{Fn|11}} During the battle against Imperial forces, Angron saved Lorgar by stopping a [[Warhound Titan]]s foot with his bare hands before it could stomp on his brother.{{Fn|11}} Later the [[Ultramarines]] led by [[Guilliman]] arrived, determined to exact vengeance on the traitors for the [[Battle of Calth]]. Angron went on to duel Guilliman himself during the battle, defeating the Primarch in a furious rage. But while Guilliman managed to escape thanks to an intervention by nearby Ultramarines, this was precisely what Lorgar had wanted and the Word Bearers Primarch began a [[Khornate]] ritual. Using Angron's rage as a conduit, Lorgar channeled the power of Khorne and surged the Red Angel with the powers of Chaos. Angron was transformed into a hulking, even more bloodthirsty, avatar of violence and rage that had overcome the debilitating effects of the Butcher's Nails. For his new form, he was given a massive [[Black Blade|Black Runesword]] forged by the [[Dark Mechanicum]]. The first words that the newly ascendant Angron spoke were of his desire for Kharn to massacre slaves in the lower decks of the ''[[Conqueror (Ship)|Conqueror]]'' and build him a skull throne.{{Fn|11}}

Angron and his World Eaters went on to mindlessly rampage throughout the Galaxy, ignoring [[Horus]]' calls to muster at [[Ullanor]] in preparation for the drive on [[Terra]]. [[Perturabo]] himself was eventually sent with orders to bring Angron to Ullanor at all costs. Upon the world of [[Deluge]], the [[Iron Warriors]] arrived to find the population butchered and stacked into mountains of corpses.

As a massive [[Warp Rift]] opened up over [[Luna]] which allowed the primary traitor strikeforce to assail Terra itself, Angron was seen perched aboard one of the battlements of the ''Conqueror''.{{Fn|24}}
 
By the [[Siege of Terra]], Angron was a blood-crazed slave to Khorne. He demanded that [[Horus]] allow him to directly attack the [[Imperial Palace]], regardless of the fact that the Emperor's psychic barrier around the world would see him likely die in the process until such a time where the traitors could weaken it. After hearing that [[Mortarion]]'s [[Death Guard]] would instead be the first to assault Terra, Angron fell into a rage and massacred all he came across within the bowels of the ''[[The Conqueror]]''. [[Lotara Sarrin]] feared that he would murder the [[Tech-Priest]]'s attending to the vessels reactor, risking a catastrophic meltdown. This forced Kharn to confront Angron within the ship, where the Primarch revealed he knew of the 8th Captain's ultimate destiny and wished to supplant him as the Chosen of Khorne. The two battled, with Kharn being little match for his gene-father. However, before Angron could finish him, Kharn placed a teleport homer on the Primarch which transported him to the shifting maze within the nearby [[Night Lords]] flagship ''[[Nightfall]]'' within, Angron became trapped and spent his time battling the many traps within the maze.{{Fn|26a}} Later when traitor rituals weakened the Emperor's psychic barrier on Terra, Angron was shot out of the ''Nightfall'' and into space, where he made his way to the surface. Angron appeared in front of Terra as a flaming meteor, landing and slaying friend and foe alike. He fought his way to the walls of the Palace, where he saw [[Sanguinius]] and roared a challenge. Sanguinius refused, saluting his brother and stating that while they would battle one day this was not that day. Angron raged, but due to the lingering effects of the Emperor's barrier could not pursue him into the Palace.{{Fn|26b}} During the battle for the [[Lion's Gate Spaceport]] Angron destroyed a [[Capitol Imperialis]] and then a [[Leviathan (Transport)|Leviathan]], but was again unable to advance past the Palace walls.{{Fn|27a}} When the Lion's Gate Spaceport fell to a massive traitor assault and the Emperor's shield shrunk to only encompass the [[Sanctum Imperialis]], Angron led a horde of World Eaters on to the Eternity Wall.{{Fn|27b}} Angron and Kharn led an assault on the Eternity Wall Spaceport, and in a moment of clarity the Primarch regained some of his old noble visage. He gave an opportunity for the defenders of the Spaceport to surrender, though they responded by blasting him to pieces with their gun batteries. Angron quickly regenerated, and along with his World Eaters massacred the defenders of the Eternity Wall Spaceport.{{Fn|28a}} He later struck down the lone [[Imperial Army]] trooper [[Ollanius Piers]] as the mortal stood before him.{{Fn|28b}}
