Inconclusive Disgusted by the war of the daemons, Perturabo leads the Iron Warriors off Terra.

Disgusted that the war had turned into a slaughter of Legions with Chaos, and having received Horus’s order to scatter the Iron Warriors among the other armies, Perturabo abandoned the siege and led the Legion off Terra by “paths unknown”, sowing confusion in the blockade fleet. Part of the Iron Warriors refused to leave and fought to the end.
