===Horus Heresy===
[[Image:Angron_Primarch_World_Eaters.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The Primarch Angron{{Fn|8a}}]]
After this debacle, the Emperor dispatched [[Horus]] to bring Angron back in line - a fatal error, as Horus was already corrupted by the forces of Chaos. A master psychologist, he told Angron exactly what he wanted to hear: that the Emperor was a weakling, devoid of honour, and that there was a place for him in a new order, along with revenge against their brother Primarchs that had criticized his legion. Angron needed no further convincing, throwing his legion on Horus's side when the [[Horus Heresy]] broke out.{{Fn|1a}} During the [[Battle of Isstvan III]] Angron spoiled Horus' plan by charging headlong into the loyalist forces once the [[Virus Bombing]] had failed to eliminate them.{{Fn|16c}} Shortly afterwards, before the [[Drop Site Massacre]], Angron nearly attempted to reveal the entire deception after condemning the ploy as cowardly and lacking in honour. However he was convinced to back down by Horus.{{Fn|45}}
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 Primarchs boiled over to a near battle, which was only interrupted by a [[Dark Eldar]] attempt to assassinate Angron himself. After the two Primarchs worked together against the Dark Eldar, they put their feud aside.{{Fn|8}}
