![]() ![]() When the Great Crusade finally reached Olympia in 849.M30 and the Emperor told Perturabo of his place in the wider galaxy, the primarch pledged his devotion to the fledgling Imperium, and assumed the mantle of the primarch of the Iron Warriors Legion. Despite his aloof demeanour, Perturabo learned from the culture in which he found himself the arts of the siege, for Olympia's warring city-states afforded plenty of opportunity to study both the theory and the practise of this highly specialised branch of warfare. The young primarch never fully accepted his lot, and became cold and mistrustful of others. The infant was found by the servants of Dammekos, the so-called "Tyrant of Lochos," and raised by him as his own. Perturabo grew up upon the world of Olympia, a mountainous planet divided into constantly warring city-states. When the Horus Heresy came, it was perhaps inevitable that the two primarchs should find themselves on opposite sides of the galactic civil war. Yet, Perturabo felt himself side-lined by his brother primarch, whose every proud boast was, to the master of the Iron Warriors, a barbed insult. The Iron Warriors were the Emperor's finest siege troops and their primarch, Perturabo, was the equal of Rogal Dorn in the arts of fortification and strategy.

It was this rivalry between the Legions, and between their primarchs Perturabo and the Imperial Fists' Rogal Dorn, that helped turn the Iron Warriors to Chaos. The Iron Warriors, who were originally the IV th Legion of Space Marines, specialised in the breaking of sieges and assaults on static fortifications, which made them great rivals of the Imperial Fists Legion, said to construct the greatest static defences in the Imperium. The Iron Warriors are one of the nine First Founding Traitor Legions of Chaos Space Marines that turned to the service of Chaos during the Horus Heresy and now fight to overthrow the Imperium of Man.
