It is the end times. Guilliman's primaris have succeeded. The loyalists have reunited the majority of the imperium. Abbadon is dying. Blood drenches his ragged smile. He looks up. From the sword, to the hand, to the face. And his smile widens. Abbadon has succeeded. Guiliman's imperium is his prize. A a lesser jewel than his fathers's, but one of flawless construction. A ceramite turbrine forever bound to spin in the winds of chaos. Forever spinning upon a fixed axis. Forever empowered by the unending winds of chaos. Humanity is but an object for chaos to flow around and through. Never again to stand against the tide and drive it back. Forever bound to it's bulwark and the minor turbulences it creates as chaos flows around and through it. Abbadon smiles his last and the light of the astronomicon goes out. He is calm. That is to say enraged, but stilled, receptive - if but only for a moment. Never a gifted psyker, none the less he feels it. As though the sun where on his back one moment, and then not. And then he feels it again. This time upon his face. Rising to meet it he bellows with a fury that shakes his halls. He would devour this star as easily as if a child had been foolish enough to stand between his boot and the ground. It reaches him and matches his fury with his its own. It comes to him with passion and strength and he matches it in kind. It dares. His rage grows. He unleashes his rage and it is met, halted - but not in kind. The rage flows out of him and the light flows through him. His bellow still reverberates, but silence has settled upon the hall. The light is gone. He neither feels it upon his face nor his back. All that remains is the clatter of nails upon the floor. Angron - a ghost no more. __________ I am a casual pleb so pardon any egregious lore issues. Just having a bit of fun.

Meaning he was so far passed the point of caring about recruiting his sons the right way which was earning their trust and admiration before taking them under his wing and simply wanted it done as quickly as possible so that he could further bolster the forces of the crusade. Honestly just think about how messed up humans become as a result of war in the real world and then imagine having to fight a galactic spanning war where the very fate of the human race rests on your shoulders and then as if that wasn't enough you also have to wage a secret war against the ruinous powers which nobody can know about.

@@barklordofthesith2997 Yeah I understand why you think that bro but that's simply not correct because for one Malcador was straight up lying when he said that to the one dying imperial in order to assuage her fears that the Horus heresy was going to be the undoing of the Imperium and much of that is due to the fact that he knew the existentially horrific fate which awaited her once her soul passed into the immaterium. So he wanted her at the very least to die with hope in her heart that the Imperium she loved so much and fought so hard for would endure by convincing her that the heresy was indeed all a part of the Emperor's grand design. However the truth is far more complicated because even though the Emperor without a doubt knew some sort of terrible civil war would at some point occur he didn't exactly know how it would start or by who's hands and definitely didn't except in the slightest that it would be his own sons who'd eventually kick off the civil war. Furthermore he never intended to kill the astartes and especially not the primarchs because even though his relationships with them were complicated at the best of times he definitely loved them in his own way and more importantly knew that no matter how strong the Imperium became they would always need them when taking into account the very real possibility that there were still threats out there which had not yet revealed themselves such as the Tyranids as a perfect example. Also I know you'll probably say then why did he wipe out the thunder warriors and honestly all I can say in response is that he had no other recourse then to take them out of play once Terra had been conquered because they were always imperfect creations which were unstable to put it very mildly and bread for only purpose being of course constant warfare and as such wouldn't of been able to handle even the briefest periods of peace without going flat out crazy and turning on each other and their human allies. So in short they were blunt instruments instead of the highly refined tools that were the primarchs and their legions.

As much as they genuinely did, they never really deserved Angron's loyalty, nor did the Emperor or the imperium at large for how he was "procured". What was left of Angron belonged to the slaves who all died on his homeworld trying to fight for freedom and the end of tyrant slavemasters. What was left was slain by the emperor on that faithful reunion, and instead he made a creature ready to betray him. I believe as much as Big E. wanted to not admit, a sane Angron without the butcher's nails would have rebelled faster than the one blinded by rage. Angron himself admitted to this prior his open rebellion, that the nails were the only thing making it possible for him to follow his father's orders. The opportunity to commit mass slaughter was the only thing that gave Angron pleasure all thanks to the nails, and I think the emperor fully knew this and was aware it was the only way he could continue using him as a tool after the big dick-move he committed against his son.

“I didnt side with Horus, Im against the Emperor”

I'm left wondering. With faith becoming a strong force in 40k, maybe the literal God potion of the Emperor forming in the warp would be capable of stealing the souls of the corrupted primarchs from the chaos gods and remaking them into Primarch Saints or something. If anything, seeing the God Emp walking into Khorn's skull plains to break Angron's chains would be one hell of a badass redemption plot.

He turns and looks at them across reality and swipes at them and almost kills them "remotely!" (It almost dropped the book on that part of the story, great description of Angron) So the guy is ridiculously powerful because that's bending reality... but he is so mad it's all for naught... well, all for the Blood God.

Lorgar was a user, he sold his own brother out for his own validation. As I said before, Angron suffered terribly, but he still had it within himself to rise above... yet he continued to see everyone as an enemy and wallow in hate.

Angron was lost the moment he was betrayed by his father during their reunion. He warned the Emperor himself, that he would be leaving with only a ghost of his son and the Emperor was content with effectively killing what's left of his son and making use of a tool instead. Super-human or not, I don't think after all he went through, he could have "fixed it himself", he certainly could have before the Emperor totally blind-sided him, but that's what finally broke the camel's back after a lifetime of non-stop physical/mental agony while a torture device stuck in your head aggressively messed with your sanity. His trans-human physiology can be credited for keeping him together enough to get him to lead a cause that was clearly just during his rebellion against slavemasters, but something much more within broke from his father's transgressions, something that even the lifetime of slavery or being under the influence of the butcher's nails couldn't even break. "You kept that mule Kor Phaeron. Russ kept his kin-friends. The Lion kept Luther. Humans - brothers and foster fathers - saved and raised into Legion ranks. But not me. Not Angron, no. Did the Emperor teleport his gold-wrapped Custodians down to help me and my army? No. Did he free the War Hounds and order them to battle, fight alongside me? No. Did he save my brothers and sisters the way he spared and honoured the Lion's closest kin? The way he honoured Kor Phaeron? No, no and no. No mercy for Angron. Angron the Oathbreaker. Angron the Betrayer." - Primarch Angron explaining his anger towards the Emperor

Angron could have been the greatest Primarch had he never had the Butchers Nails implanted. Without them he may have been able to win a guerilla slave war and rise from slave fighter to King of Nuceria, one with the powers of an empathy who would command loyalty greater than Leman Russ.

In that regard, sadly, Russ had the disapproval of many of his brothers....Sanguinius was one of the few Primarchs that could command loyalty across the imperium.

We don’t know that for certain. And Khorne isn’t exactly a contract signing kinda guy. He was summoned by Lorgar, offered Angron the power he wanted in that moment, and Angron took it without a second thought.

I'm disappointed the ascension was never depicted from Angron's point of view. Did Khorne make Angron an offer? If so, was it accepted or refused (not that Angron was in possession of sufficient facts to honestly weigh the offer)? If not, was Angron corrupted and enslaved without Khorne's active participation? Given Lorgar's conflict of interest in the ascension (big-time favor with Chaos and Khorne especially) his claim to be doing it to save Lorgar rings hollow. I've always assumed that daemonic ascension brings spiritual corruption so thorough that notions like "slave of Khorne" are unthinkable to Angron. It would also not surprise me if the Nails still bring Angron pain. Making you suffer in the warp forever is a very Chaos kind of fate, and it would be a rebuke to Lorgar's hubris (not that he would care anymore).

Tzeentch and Slaanesh try to seduce him with promises of power, Nurgle simply refuses him, but Khorne doesn’t even speak. Khorne is a nonverbal ball of pure irrational rage. If you share that rage, you invite him. And in the moment where Angron saw the remains of his brothers desecrated, he had that true level of ferocity and bloodlust. He would have done anything to get revenge. Khorne simply provided him the tools to do so. Khorne has no ulterior motives or desire to manipulate, Angron was already doing what he wanted.

yes. This lore remains as one of the most contentious one because of the seemingly out of season heel-turn by the Emperor. While all the other primarchs were treated by a father just reunited to his sons, Angron was treated by one that had flesh, yet had the soul of a god-corpse completely stripped of his humanity the emperor would become in the future.

I never liked Angron purely because of his shallow personality. This series added a little depth. Please do Lorgar next! Or Corvus Corax (nobody seems to talk about Corax much)!

A great series and info on a character that I was not well informed on.

Guilliman losing it and giving into rage gives me goosebumps in a way no other Primarch could. I think it's because he is the most calm and collected, one of the most successful and yet humble Primarchs. To see him cut a bloody path through a legion to confront his brother and get revenge is something I didn't expect. This and Lorgars reaction, the disbelief as well as the realisation that Guilliman had not hated him until this point, makes this one of the most badass scenes in the HH series for me. Thanks for sharing Rho.

He started his life as a slave, but was spirited away by those who would forge his talent for their purpose. When he returned to the dry torment that was his home world, he found only suffering and the rage entrenched itself deeper in his heart. In time the mask of heroism could not hide the cruelty of his actions. The machinations of the malevolent bound him to line his path with corpses and become an instrument to break the spine of the establishment. Eventually he was laid low by the champions of his foes, his rage had long crippled him body and soul, alienated him from all the good things in his life. He became a slave once more, bound to the very diabolical masters that set him on this path, rage and pain would be all he knew, all he could build. Even now he awaits the final curtain call, when perhaps he could sever the bindings of fate and finally set himself free. But enough about Darth Vader, I wonder how Angron is doing.

As silence roars through gathered masses You stared waiting eagerly Approaching darkness decreasing your life expectancy The tension is now rising The calm before the storm See your life flash before you Will you live to see the dawn? The enemy is now approaching With bloodlust in their eyes Intense fear is overcoming For now death - you will defy As the battle raged all dead and wounded Bodies, the carnage all you see The white-hot blast - melting flesh The screaming pain in agony…

Thank you, for telling Angron’s story....

Ok so after the week i think angron deserve a redemption. I don't mean the "yay ive been saved now ill be a good boy and do what daddy say" i mean in such a way that impact not only the imperium but also chaos. Idk how but maybe help tyranids get a huge advantage where he give a big middle finger to both sides saying no more slavery. As for what if he was saved sooner and became loyal i think him, the khan and vulkan would of been greatest brothers trio the imperium would of seen. I would now be playing space marine as the "soul of angron" thanks to you keep up the good work

Jarl Rho you are the best love your channel.

As tragic as Angron’s story is, I find it hard to get super invested in him because it feel like he was set up to fall from the very beginning. With how much he got screwed over by the Emps (for what feels like no reason), how could his story have ended any other way? I know we’ll probably never get a retcon, but I hope that we get a better explanation as to why the Emperor chose to condemn Angron’s fellow gladiators to death, and why it was impossible for the emperor to heal Angron after being implanted with the Nails.

Ekter being unpredictable is khorne, he’s might be a god of slaughter but he’s also a god of war, being predictable makes you worse at fighting wars.

Angrons Perfect Son speech to Guilliman is awesome it shows he was quite eloquent when he wanted to be . Telling Guilliman that HE was the one who had real courage and honor . As a long time Ork player I've always looked at Guilliman as the Perfect Primarch the Emporers mini me Yet ADB's great speech by Angron really made me feel he was the one who had Courage and Honor while Guilliman prospered under near perfect conditions

Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne, and eternity of slavery for ONE who would rather kill the enslave anyone. F for axe boi who could be a great Primarch to the war hounds but ended as a downfall for world eaters o7

You should totally update your playlists - I would kindly suggest. There´s alot of content which would be so suited for a little organizing 👍 That said - keep up your work, I like to listen to your clips ✌

Angron's words to Guilliman in this scene is one of the sickest burns in Warhammer 40k - funnily enough, in the same way Perturabo's words to Angron when they fight after this are is also one of the sickest burns in 40k. . Having said that, Angron had his life saved by Lorgar but was also condemned to slavery to Khorne. I think at this point, he wouldn't have seen it as slavery though, he'd see it as finally being "gifted" his freedom and all the more power to wreak havoc against his enemies. I just can't help but think of all hat could have been if the Emperor had of helped instead of captured and enslaved Angron in that first meeting.

When I listened to his transformation in the book I got chills

good job rho . very interesting

In the case of angron, i think we can certainly say that its the fault of nurture, not nature.

And a big ol' stab in the front by Big E. not back, no. front. Big E. bluntly states to him that he was content with leaving with just a "ghost" of his son. If I was a slave all my life, then someone who claims to be my father deprived me from what was left of my humanity could define as its most crucial moment to hastily get me to committing more genocides, that entity claiming to be my father may as well have admitted to being my new slavemaster and I a tool.

Personally i would love to see Deamon Primarch Angron return to the physical realm. Though if he does, don´t make him some monster of pure rage, that thinks of nothing else but Maim, kill and burn! in other words don´t make him the stereotypical Khorne berserker. Yes he is a servant of the blood god, yes Khorne wants blood and skulls. But come on give Angron a mind of his own, wouldn´t it be a great story if Angron returned and everyone thought they would be facing nothing but a bunch of crazy berskers deadly in combat sure, but easily out maneuvered and tricked, only to be caught off guard as Angron leads his world eaters with both guile and tactics. Maybe Khorne gave Angron a gift a way to quiet the nails in his World Eaters skull or at least give them all the advantages of the nails and none of the disadvantages. Suddenly the Ultramarines are facing a legion not of mindless berserkers, but cunning warriors lead by Angron. Maybe have him go up against Gulliman and have Angron beat Gulliman within an inch of his life, before being bale to retreat.

I don’t think in the lore Angron needs any tactics, he is a monster so big (in size and in actual danger) that he could charge headfront anything, including Titans, and he would still get things done. He almost doesn’t need any guile, because he always was a the most dangerous CQ foe the Emperor made, plus with the “gifts” of Khorne it is almost impossible to stop it (even for Mary Sues Grey Knights).

@@NueThunderKing I disagree his lack of tactics cost him Armageddon. also i don´t want Angron to appear as some form of mindless monster. Have him be an Angron who have ascended above the nails, who while still a monster in Close Combat knows how to use his powers to win battles.

Amazing read! Such a painful story.

Great primarch week Well done

The man Angron died with his bothers and sisters. All they got was a shell of rage. I cannot find logic to blame Angron for what he has become. Angron warned his true father of what he shall get for stealing him of his honor. The man was going to die at Nuceria with the people he loved, or by the nails that was slowing killing whatever remains of the ghost/shell. Better to die with honor than die as a weapon for someone else.

my fav 40k book good work

This week easily made angron my second favorite primarch

Fantastic

I head an audio book about the campaigns Angron and Logar did together ( not sure the name of the book.) They were pursuing a Eldar vessel and docked their ship. The narrator then goes on to explain the only time, let me repeat, the ONLY time Angron felt any form of rest and peace was when he was in combat! Sleep didn't bring peace! Sitting didn't bring peace! NOTHING stopped the excruciating pain he felt unless he was in combat. It explained that, when he was in combat, he entered in sort of a trace that took all pain and anguish away and he somehow consciously was able to fight even though subconsciously, he was resting. He needed to fight because if he didn't; he was going through unimaginable anguish. Some say he was out of control and was just a bloodthirsty animal. But, in all actuality, he was probably one of the most restrained individuals during that time!

Great stuff. needs more Corax doh

Angron's character had such promise, but as with the world eaters at large and the rest of khorne's armies, they are too much used as fodder to prove how much of a badass X space marine is.

I love Malice! “We shall deny Nurgle their flesh to fester and rot. We shall deny Khorne their blood and skulls. We shall deny Tzeentch their destinies and fates. We shall deny Slaanesh their pleasure and pain. Death to the Dark Gods! For the Renegade God! Let the galaxy burn!”

You should do a video of your armies bro love to see them

Over all I'm a little sad we didnt get you reviewing the exact moment the warhounds became the world eaters, because that single monologue is my favorite hate filled moment within all of 30k and 40k setting "I will leave him a graveyard ".

i thought him 2 dimensional... now he seems the most tragically layered primarch.

It's a shame you would think the emperor would have did some thing about it but he just left it

Lorgar is right. Saying that Guilliman's use of the word "world" as an interpretation meaning the imperium is a bit of an unjust stretch in an attempt to make Guilliman seem correct.

Ooooooh, who lives in a gift voucher under the sea? Wolf Lord Rho-pants!

I wonder what could happen if the nails were installed in a Perpetual like Vulkan

of the primarchs, it saddens me how little agency Angron, from the nail to his legion, to his forced "Ascension". Angron letting past pains make him numb to any hope for the future. it is sad to think about. he never had a choice and when it was offered to him, her refused it.

@@willsword8100 That's fair, what's not is assuming there was anything left of Angron to feel numb about apart for rage. Angron is a product of a lifetime of physical/mental agony and permanently attached torture devices that drove him to a violent insanity. What's ultimately tragic is that it was not Nuceria or the nails that broke him, it was his father. He had warned the emperor he would be leaving with just his son's ghost after his decision of ripping Angron away from his true family who were about to die, like the wolves of Fenris is to Russ. His father coldly states that he was content with that prize. There was no part of Angron left to learn, there was only insane hatred left. You couldn't defend Angron's actions past the moment he was betrayed by the emperor, but you can't also give Russ or any critics ignorant of Angron's own life and betrayal from his father an easy pass for their blind presumptions of what their brother was at that point even capable of doing. "*Russ kept his kin-friends*. The Lion kept Luther. Humans - brothers and foster fathers - saved and raised into Legion ranks. But not me. Not Angron, no. Did the Emperor teleport his gold-wrapped Custodians down to help me and my army? No. Did he free the War Hounds and order them to battle, fight alongside me? No. Did he save my brothers and sisters the way he spared and honoured the Lion's closest kin? The way he honoured Kor Phaeron? No, no and no. No mercy for Angron. Angron the Oathbreaker. Angron the Betrayer."

I’ve never been sympathetic to the traitor legions or primarchs but I do actually feel sorry for Angron. What a tragedy.

Lorgar truly wanted the best for Angron. I've never gotten the impression that he only saw him as a tool. The problem is that what he thought would bring Angron freedom was based on a lie. His entire belief system was built on the belief that the gods wanted symbiosis with humanity. From his perspective, he was helping his brother become a holy being. The problem is of course that the gods never wanted symbiosis. The relationship between Argel Tal and Raum feels like a form of symbiosis in Betrayer (certainly alot more than it does in TFH), which actually makes me wonder if Raum was created for this very purpose to make the lie more convincing. But Argel Tal and Raum were an exception. Lorgar was fooled and Angron paid the price.

Why don't you tells us more about the strength of Angron that Betrayer shows us. In you Angron videos you keep talking about other Primarchs, I wish you would give more focus on who Angron is, and the insight of his character this book gives. And I wish you'd talk about Lhorke point of veiw when he saw his Primarch fight Robute. Angron's strength and fury had chainswords match powerfists, and that's bloody impresive. And there is so much more, like when he took on the weight of a warhound titan. I like hearing about what he could have been, but I'd love to dive deeper into what who he became.

Angron a villain you can sympathise with. Black library really need to do more with angron and his tragic backstory

So if angron f***ed up this bad what did the 2nd and 11th do?

I stopped reading Horus Heresy novels ages ago, how is Lorgar such a bad tactician as to not expect Guiliman to turn up? He thought Guiliman hated him - he was wrong, but if the guy that hates you is a genetically perfect killing machine then maybe set a trap? That's what Daemon-Fulgrim did and it nearly worked

I would like to look into a time line where everything worked out. Who would have Angron been there?

Angron's slavery days ended the day the Emperor freed him from bondage. To say Angron continues to be a slave in the service of Khorne, that's a stretch. The Primarchs were destined to serve a greater power, someone or thing bigger then they were. Khorne gave Angron the freedom of eternity, with the mandate to slaughter in His name. "Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven." - Milton

He sounds like Anakin Skywalker

Angron has always been my favourite Primarch. In my opinion he probably had the most strained relationship with the emperor, if you can even call it a relationship. I think the way the emperor treated Angron is his biggest mistake. There are so many “what if’s” regarding Angron. Unfortunately I don’t think we.’lol ever get any answers.

Angron was a slave to his emotions and the past. In wanting to emancipate himself he let his anger and pain order him to fight. Like a well known saying goes; A man chooses, a slave obeys. Still I'm not without pity and can't help but wonder if it is possible to restore Angron, wrest his soul from Khorne, a feat only the Emperor could do. He may seem lost but I believe that what Angron once was is still within him. I believe that he CAN be restored and be given the freedom he wants. Better to live a man then die a slave.

Vouchers for the voucher god!

Are you ready now father, to witness a power unseen for thousands of years?

It's always amusing to hear a mortal loyalist dog and slave, call an ascended being a "slave for eternity". When now these gods have eternal lives to do what they love and do best. They've been liberated. Let the Word of truth be known across all the galaxy!🔥☠️🔥

angron's acension, like all things in 40k is bathed in symbolism. It is completed by the destruction of the skulls of Angrons former allies in the slave revolts. Showing once again it would have been really helpfull to have more than one teleport-lock when you took Agron from his world, Big E. I also find it amusing that Guilliman, a 40k version of Caesar, is fighting Angron, a 40k version of Spartacus. I think in our history we tend to have a more positive view of Spartacus than Caesar.
