He was among the [[Salamanders]]' forces that [[Dropsite Massacre|fought]] on [[Isstvan V]] to put an end to [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]]' [[Horus Heresy|rebellion]]. Like all of his [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s forces, Tiamastus was charged with attacking the portion of the [[Traitor]]s' '''Fortress''', on the '''Urgall Plateau''', which was defended by the [[Death Guard]]. In the mayhem of the battle, though, Tiamastus and his fellow [[Saturnine Terminator]] [[Vort (Terminator)|Vort]], found themselves separated from the rest of their [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]. The two continued to follow their orders, however, and fought the Death Guard as they advanced upon the Fortress. Eventually they encountered the Salamanders [[Legionary]] [[Maraeus Orasus]] and saved his life, just as he was about to be killed by the [[Traitor Legion]].{{Fn|1a}}
After learning that [[Maraeus Orasus|Orasus]] was the only survivor of his squadron, Tiamastus ordered the [[Legionary]] to join them and the three continued to fight their way to the '''Fortress'''.{{Fn|1a}} They were able to meet up with other [[Salamanders]] near their objective, but the [[Death Guard]] soon launched a counter attack. However, the [[Traitor Legion]] used toxic gas canisters to disperse a mist to cover their advance. Shortly after the three Salamanders were engulfed by the mist, Tiamastus sensed something and signaled the others to stop, while he scanned the mist. Mere seconds later though, the [[Saturnine Terminator]] was [[Silence (Death Guard)|beheaded]] by the Death Guard's [[Primarch]], [[Mortarion]], who then killed [[Vort (Terminator)|Vort]] as well. Orasus was about to be the next to die, when the Salamanders' Primarch, [[Vulkan]], appeared and [[Dawnbringer|blocked]] his traitorous brother's blow.{{Fn|1b}}
