The '''Indurate''' were a formation of [[Saturnine Terminator]]s in the [[World Eaters]] [[Traitor Legion|Legion]], during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1a}}

While the [[World Eaters]] had access to the [[Saturnine Terminator Armour]] since the [[Great Crusade]], they spurned its use. This was a result of a deleterious interaction between the armor's interface systems and the [[Traitor Legion|Legion]]'s [[Butcher's Nails]] implants. However this changed during the [[Horus Heresy]], as the World Eaters descent into brutality gave rise to a twisted cult called the Indurate. These World Eaters, exulted in the resilience offered by the [[Salamanders]] [[Primarch]] [[Vulkan]]'s redesign of Saturnine Terminator Armour, despite its amplification{{Fn|1a}} and hastening of the Butcher's Nails effects. The Indurate would go on to take great pride in wearing the new armors they had taken from [[Loyalist]]s they killed in battle. Those that did so, despite the pain it entailed, earned a mark of enviable renown and eventually Loyalist armor bearing Vulkan's redesign, became highly prized by the World Eaters.{{Fn|1b}}

However, the first time the Indurate were deployed in significant numbers, was during the [[World Eaters]]' [[Shadow Crusade]] battle on [[Nuceria]]. There, the Indurate were keen to prove their power against the [[Ultramarines]]' [[Suzerain Invictarus]], as the [[Primarch]]s [[Angron]] and [[Guilliman]] fought each other. But, when the Ultramarines later retreated from the battle, some World Eaters turned upon the Indurate to claim their highly sought after [[Saturnine Terminator Armour]].{{Fn|1b}} While the Indurate's practice of claiming these suits from the dead continued, the World Eaters began issuing newly-forged Saturnine Armour, in the later years of the [[Horus Heresy]]. Though these were only given to the [[Traitor Legion|Legion]]'s specialist [[Inductii]] cadres, whose members had not yet succumbed to the [[Butcher's Nails]]' effects.{{Fn|1a}}
