World Eaters

Now the Horus Heresy grew near, and Horus had little problems with corrupting the bitter and unhappy Angron. The World Eaters were probably the first Legion to join the Lunar Wolves in their revolt and would be instrumental both during [[Istvaan V]] and and during the [[Siege of Terra]] itself. World Eaters lead the assault on the walls of the Imperial palace and it is said that one of their champions, Khârn, was the first to enter the breach.
Yet they lost the battle, and the remains fled to the Eye of Terror along with the other Traitor Legions. Angron was elevated to deamonhood daemonhood and the World Eaters would continue to function as a legion up to the Skalathrax incident. Originally a fight against the [[Emperor's Children]] the battle escalated when Khârn attacked his fellow comrades. Refusing to fall back before the deadly cold of the [[Skalathrax]] night Khârn burned their shelters and forced a desperate fight between brother marines for the few remaining safehouses. This divided the Legion into individal warbands, a formation they have kept ever since.
Angron was last seen during the [[First War for Armageddon]], where he lead a Khornate host invading the Imperial [[Forge World|forge world]]. He was eventually banished to the [[Warp]] for a 100 years, at the cost of the lives of a large number of [[Grey Knights]] and their [[Chapter Master]].
