The Iron Blood is notable for taking part in the Battle of Phall, a major void engagement that took place following the start of the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium after the Istvaan III Atrocity, between the entirety of the Iron Warriors Legion's fleet and a formidable Imperial Fists Legion Retribution Fleet. Perturabo was sent by the Warmaster Horus to halt the encroaching Imperial Fists fleet that had originally been sent to Istvaan III by their Primarch Rogal Dorn to reinforce the beleaguered Loyalists trapped on that world. The Traitors could not allow such a strong complement of Astartes to infiltrate their controlled area of space, for the Loyalists' presence would seriously disrupt preparations for the Traitors' drive on Terra. Commanding the entirety of his Legion's war

  • The Iron Blood is notable for taking part in the Battle of Phall, a major void engagement that took place following the start of the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium after the Istvaan III Atrocity, between the entirety of the Iron Warriors Legion's fleet and a formidable Imperial Fists Legion Retribution Fleet. Perturabo was sent by the Warmaster Horus to halt the encroaching Imperial Fists fleet that had originally been sent to Istvaan III by their Primarch Rogal Dorn to reinforce the beleaguered Loyalists trapped on that world. The Traitors could not allow such a strong complement of Astartes to infiltrate their controlled area of space, for the Loyalists' presence would seriously disrupt preparations for the Traitors' drive on Terra. Commanding the entirety of his Legion's war fleet, Perturabo led his warships in a sudden and devastating attack upon the Imperial Fists' fleet in the nearby Phall System where the Loyalists had massed for the attack on Istvaan. Ultimately Perturabo failed in his attempt to annihilate the entirety of the Loyalist fleet, due to the vigilance and foresight of Captain Alexis Polux, the commander of the Imperial Fists Retribution Fleet, who had kept the warships under his command at a high state of combat-readiness. Though they sustained significant damage, Captain Polux was able to launch a successful counterattack against the Iron Warriors' fleet and inflict significant damage as well as destroy or disable multiple capital ships. When the Retribution Fleet's Astropaths finally managed to make contact with Terra, they received a direct order from Rogal Dorn recalling the Retribution Fleet to Terra to prepare the defences of the Imperial Palace. Launching a bold counter-strike, the Imperial Fists drove off the embattled Traitor fleet and managed to break orbit and manoeuvre to their jump points, where they entered the Warp and made for Terra to prepare for the Traitors' coming assault upon the homeworld of Mankind.
