The Steelstone Keep Rebellion was a battle waged by the Iron Warriors.[1]

The battle began when Cornucopeon’s capital hive of Steelstone Keep, which regularly supplied tithes to the Iron Warriors, launches a revolt after the industrialist Korothrodd Vessh doubles his tithe quotas. The cult leader that oversees the hive’s industry is killed by the mob. Perturabo hears of the rebellion and within a week, Cornucopeon is infested by locomotive-sized Daemon Engines that burrow through the planet. They rise up under Steelstone Keep itself, erupting to disgorge Iron Warriors. The rebels fight level by level as Perturabo’s warriors gut the hive from the inside out. Beneath them a rising tide of magma burns away all evidence of Steelstone’s rebellion. When the Iron Warriors leave from the hive spires, the only evidence of the uprising is a metallic mountain filled with cooling igneous rock.[1]
