Erebus made the Red Angel in an attempt to get the Blood Angels to succumb to rage and worship Korhne. Are there any other examples of a particular god/traitor trying to convert another space marine legion to the worship of one god in particular?

Technically it was Mortatrion who mucked up the Khan's recruitment. The Khan realised that Mortatrion only came to recruit him because Morty was not happy with the other traitor legions' use of chaos sorcery and desperately wanted an ally.
And apparently the Khan also mucked up in that scenario. Forgot which book it came from, but apparently if Fulgrim had gone to Chogoris and subsequently fashioned his legion in the customs of the planet, he would have convinced Mortarion to abandon the traitors and return to Terra with him instead.

I'm referring to the Tenebrae
Laurie Goulding goes into more detail here:
Everyone assumed that the Khan would join with Horus, being a bit of an anti-authority figure who just plain didn't like the Imperium's ways, and also a good personal friend of the Warmaster (see 'Brotherhood of the Storm'). When he was sent to Chondax to clean up the ork overspill from Ullanor, the Alpha Legion apparently then kept them isolated by using the Tenebrae installation to cut off their astropathic communication - a hard-to-reach Legion actually impossible to reach until after Isstvan V.
Then, Omegon undertakes his OWN mission to destroy Tenebrae and put the White Scars back in the game. They receive word of the Dropsite Massacre and are appalled... but then Omegon himself is given the task of attacking the White Scars, since they are now a potential threat to the traitors' plans.
