Legio IV - Iron Warriors
Almost immediately upon being placed under the command of their primarch, Perturabo, the IV Legion found itself
being plunged into a seemingly never‐ending series of campaigns. Quickly recognised as experts in the art of siege
warfare, the Iron Warriors were regularly called upon to exercise their skills in cracking open enemy defences.
Switched from one combat zone to another, the legion also found itself constantly diminishing in active crusading size
as units from it were detached to act as garrison troops watching over worlds in the process of Compliance. The most
famous of these garrisons was that of the Iron Keep on Delgas II, where one 10‐man squad of Iron Warriors watched
over a disgruntled population of 130 million.
It is unknown why the Iron Warriors were so often selected for such assignments, or why Perturabo always accepted
such orders without protest, but it began to inflict serious damage to the legion's morale. This growing disillusionment
would eventually translate into a tragic explosion of despair and rage as the Iron Warriors learned that their own
homeworld, Olympia, had revolted against Imperial rule.
Briefed on the situation by the Warmaster Horus himself, Perturabo drew his legion away from the extermination
campaign they were waging upon the Hrud and led them homewards, falling upon the world with no mercy. The planet
was battered into submission, with over 5 million of the inhabitants killed. In the aftermath, the legion as a whole
seemed aghast at their actions, aware that they had committed an unforgivable atrocity.
