"The Battle of Isstvan V", "That Huge Fuckup", or "The Drop Site Massacre" as it would be better remembered as later, was one of the major defining battles of the Horus Heresy. After the revelation that Horus had flipped him the bird, the Emperor threw a huge tantrum and sent the loyal primarchs and their Legions to deal with the traitors. Ferrus Manus, Vulkan, and Corax, being the closest, were sent as the vanguard of the major Imperial force. The vanguard legions would be the hammer that would break the traitors against the anvil that would be the Iron Warriors, Night Lords, Word Bearers, and Alpha Legion.
Little did the loyalists know that the anvil has already betrayed the Emperor before arriving at Isstvan V. By this time, fully half of all primarchs and their respective Legions have been swayed by Horus in either joining him in his path to becoming the rightful leader of Mankind or by realizing that the Chaos Gods are much more favorable subjects of worship.
The Battle
While making battle with the remnants of the loyalists on Isstvan III, Horus sent Fulgrim to The Urgall Depression, a volcanic valley on Isstvan V, to dig trenches, build barricades and bunkers and to fortify the ancient abandoned fortress there. Imagine the fabulous, pinky Emperor's Children, staining their perfectly blonde hair and digging in the mud. Yeah, the decision did not sit well with Fulgrim, but he did his job well.
The battle went very well for the loyalists, who had the advantage of numbers and all that pain and raeg to vent. Mortarion, Angron and Fulgrim led their respective Legions on the ground, while Horus probably sat on a balcony in the fortress like a total boss, orchestrating the whole traitor army by whispering commands to everyone through the vox.
After battling against the traitors, and absorbing the loyalist remnants of the traitor legions, the Iron Hands, Salamanders, and Raven Guard were pretty fucked up, making their way back to their landing zone to resupply and coordinate with the other recently arrived "loyalists". As they neared the drop site the combined forces of the opened fire on them revealing their true allegiance. As this happened the Sons of Horus, World Eaters, Emperor's Children, and Death Guardattacked from their rear]]. completely encircling them. The loyalists were caught completely off guard and were fucked over almost as hard as these guys. Perhaps even worse was the loss of two of the legion's primarchs, as Ferrus Manus was killed by Fulgrim who chopped his head/dick off, and Vulkan disappeared, but he turned up again pretty fucking quickly after pissing off papa emo himself, which resulted in him becoming insane just long enough to get dicked over again.
The loyalists were forced to perform an emergency extraction and barely managed to escape, however the three legions were crippled and largely unable to participate in the Heresy after the massacre (no shit). The Massacre remains a bitter memory for the three loyalist legions ten-thousand years later. In a few hours they each lost most of their forces. The Raven Guard would get even further fucked over trying to recover their lost numbers. The Salamanders, already one of the smallest legions would not even have enough marines to fill their own chapter, let alone a successor at the 2nd founding. The Iron Hands and their primarch would forever become the butt of beheading jokes(refer to the picture caption on the right), plus this also led them to be the biggest dicks in 40k.
All in all, Horus fucked up everything. The 40k version of the red wedding, or was the red wedding the ASOIAF version of the drop site massacre? mhhhhhhhh
Word Bearer Perspective
Iron Hands Perspective
Being extremely pissed of at Fulgrim, Ferrus Manus could not hold his load and decided to lead the assault against the traitors being holed up in their fortified fortress. Being the tough bastards they are, they set the standard for the future generations of Iron Hands and their successors to come, during this battle.
Raven Guard Perspective
Emperor's Children Perspective
Fulgrim was massively disappointed and depressed that Ferrus Manus would not be swayed to Horus's side and that he would be forced to die (Horus's own words). By failing to convert his ugly bro, he
