Did you ever hear the tragedy of Primarch Angron the Red Angel? I thought not. It's not a story the Loyalists would tell you. It's a Chaos legend.

[aaronslater]

The World Eaters XII Legion are an interesting dichotomy. Many followed their father into heresy but a significant number of them remained loyal and became black shields

[TheKlawwGang]

I feel like world eaters are THE most under appreciated parts of 40k lore. They're always just branded as the "hurr durr kill" legion that everyone seems to overlook the more interesting aspects of the legion. First off their undying loyalty to THEIR PRIMARCH. They were so loyal and dedicated to their Primarch that they willingly under went the butchers nails to understand /connect with him more. Also their mental strength and willpower is unparalleled, being able to put up with the butchers nails and not allow themselves to simply keel over is beyond impressive. The deep and tragic story of Angron is actually one of the best making a character that seems so simple one of the most complex.

[TheCorrodedMan]

Angron’s fate is painfully tragic. He was born to be the empathetic heart of the Primarch Brotherhood, only to have his purpose ripped from him alongside his capacity to feel any kind of inner peace.
AND THEN his dad comes along and makes it worse.
_AND THEN_ Lorgar makes him into a Daemon Prince that literally can’t feel anything except pain and world-ending rage.
Now, he’s not even a person anymore. He’s a force of nature; you can’t reason with him, he can’t give orders, and he certainly can’t lead. His sons just have to have the common sense to know that they should get the hell out of the way.

Dear Remembrancer, let the mayhem

[ConceptsCool]

It's such a tragedy what became of the 12th legion, they inherited their primarchs empathy and so felt for him when his own gift was denied by cruel fate and even cruelty has its comforts, thus dooming the legion with rage induced madness all because of angron wanting to help his people on his home world to then get denied even further by his own father. Truly tragic.




Moral of the story: fuck eldar who think trying to stop the future vision somehow doesn't help it happen.

[xlopossum]

13:45 Angron is basically just a bloodthirster now. 22:10 This hit hard, they aren't war hounds anymore because now they are blood thirsty berserkers that obey no one except for their desire for bloodshed and Khorne, unlike dogs. They embody the pure savagery of Wolves more than the Space Wolves ever (no offense intended to the Space Wolves).

[ARCA]

Baldermort, Majorkill, and Barry Walt's? Fun, but not serious. The Remembrancer and Baldermort? Literally everything they are saying is CANON ON STONE TABLETS.

If Big E had just said "Hey Angron, I'm your dad, here's some genetically altered super soldiers to support your rebellion and kick this petty noble's ass, " everything would have been SO MUCH different.

[ashalley]

The way you narrate i can clearly imagine how everything played out...nice work...the Emperor protects!

[sordschie]

Imagine what could have been if the butchers nails werent implanted into Angron

[chrisrodgers]

If Angron’s ability is empathy. The ability to feel someone else’s pain and take it from them. Then why shouldn’t that ability be throughout the world eaters as well. Feeling someone’s pain and oppression is good kindling for growing A pyre of rage.

"Oi sir, why didn't the Emperor bombard Angron's enemies?"

"Because we wouldn't have a plot then Jimmy!"

[momo]

These videos really make me want to continue reading the Horus heresy

[OnyxAurochs]

Remember that time a world eater Sargent ripped out a custodies spine???

Good times

[anissyahromi]

still scratch my head why the Big E only saved angron, he could be the legion's most respected if he saved all of angron's men when the battle started.
