At the start of the Heresy, one third of the loyal to the Imperium Sons of Horus were killed during the lstvaan III massacre, the remainder supported the Primarch in his war against the Emperor, and become the Chaos Space Marines After their defeat at the Battle of Terra, the Sons of Horus escaped with the other Traitor Legions into the Eye of Terror, where they fell apart to many warbands until the Legion's First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon united most of them into the Black Legion. The Sons of Horus wore green or blackpower armor, spiked helmets and their Primarch's eye symbol.
