11th Legion Mentioned in The Wolftime

So I'm reading The Wolftime, and in conversation between Custodians Vykalan and Colquin (audiobook so spelling may be off), they are discussing the tension between Guilliman and Logan Grimnar.

"If Guilliman was to turn on the Emperor, then the Space Wolves would be one of his first opponents. The history of the Ten Thousand with the 11th Legion is a reminder of that. Why would Guilliman be so keen to arm and expand such an obstacle to his ambition?"

-Vykalan to Colquin

"...and as the history you refer to proves more than anything, loyalty to the emperor can be directed to ill ends by manipulation and lies."

-Colquin back to Vykalan.

I feel like passage narrows down a lot of the speculation I see about what happened to at least one of the lost legions. This makes me think the Cabal could have played a part in their erasure from the record, because this kind of reminds me of the Alpha Legion shenanigans in the Legion novel during the Heresy.

Thoughts?

Reading "Wolftime" next, any Space Wolves books I should read before?

Title basically, Ive been going through a list: Fall of Cadia, Vaults of Terra 1&2, Watchers of the Throne 1, listened to Fracture of Biel-Tan and The Gathering Storm on YouTube, then back to books Vaults of Terra 3, Dawn of Fire 1, Knights of Macragge, Dawn of Fire 2, and now Watchers of the Throne 2.

My next book is Ephrael Stern: The Heretic Saint, and then Dawn of Fire 3 (Wolftime). I'm not a big Wolves fan but are there any lore critical events that take place prior to Wolftime that I should know about that are covered in the books?
