During the opening days of the Horus Heresy, it was within the Iron Forge of the Fist of Iron that Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children Legion, attempted to sway his brother and great friend Ferrus Manus to the Warmaster Horus' cause of rebellion against the Emperor and his Imperium. Fulgrim had sent the bulk of his III Legion and the 28th Expeditionary Fleet on to meet Horus and the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet in the Istvaan System while he and a small force aided the Iron Hands' 52nd Expeditionary Fleet in retaking the world of Callinedes IV from the Orks. Great bonds of friendship and brotherhood had long existed between the III and X Legions, and Fulgrim felt that he could convince Ferrus of the righteousness of Horus' cause. Fulgrim's hope proved disastrously wrong and the meeting

  • During the opening days of the Horus Heresy, it was within the Iron Forge of the Fist of Iron that Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children Legion, attempted to sway his brother and great friend Ferrus Manus to the Warmaster Horus' cause of rebellion against the Emperor and his Imperium. Fulgrim had sent the bulk of his III Legion and the 28th Expeditionary Fleet on to meet Horus and the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet in the Istvaan System while he and a small force aided the Iron Hands' 52nd Expeditionary Fleet in retaking the world of Callinedes IV from the Orks. Great bonds of friendship and brotherhood had long existed between the III and X Legions, and Fulgrim felt that he could convince Ferrus of the righteousness of Horus' cause. Fulgrim's hope proved disastrously wrong and the meeting of the two Primarchs in Ferrus' private inner sanctum did not go well, as Ferrus was utterly outraged that his brothers would dare to turn against their father the Emperor. The meeting ended in violence, as the Gorgon made his difference of opinion over continued loyalty to the Emperor known to the Phoenician with his weapons, determined to stop Fulgrim's betrayal of the Imperium before it could begin. Ferrus attempted to use his silvery necrodermis hands to destroy Fulgrim's golden sword Fireblade, but the resulting explosion knocked him unconscious. Fulgrim intended to kill his unconscious brother with the weapon he had forged for him, the warhammer Forgebreaker, but proved unable to kill his oldest friend despite the promptings of the Slaaneshi daemon embedded within the Silver Sword of the Laer that now corrupted his soul. Instead he took the wonderous weapon that he had once crafted in brotherhood for Ferrus as a reminder of their former friendship, and left behind Fireblade, which Ferrus had forged for him. When Fulgrim emerged from Ferrus' inner sanctum, he gave a signal to his elite Phoenix Guard, who instantly beheaded all of the Iron Hands Morlock Terminators who served as Ferrus' own elite bodyguard with their Power Halberds. The Emperor's Children also nearly slew the Iron Hands' First Captain Gabriel Santor. Fulgrim successfully fled the Iron Hands' expeditionary fleet in his personal assault craft, the Firebird, as he ordered his warships, the Battle Barge Pride of the Emperor and its Escorts, to open fire upon the ships of the 52nd Expeditionary Fleet. Fulgrim called a halt to the attack before the destruction of the Fist of Iron was complete. Leaving the crippled X Legion's fleet becalmed, the ships of the Emperor's Children disengaged and made the translation into the Immaterium to rendezvous with the rest of the 28th Expeditionary Fleet and the forces of Horus in the Istvaan System. The ultimate fate of the Fist of Iron following the events of the Horus Heresy is unknown.
