Angrons tale is Greek tragedy in it's purest form. The guy never had a chance. You can fault him for what he does and is now but not for the circumstances that made him that way. He should have died with his Gladiators.

I think if khan would of stood against angron and said no we will not get the nails. It could of changed the whole future of the world eaters. If angron saw the defiance and was happy they could make choices for their own he could of felt some peace which would of drastically changed future events.

[@tobsw3802]

​@shocker6093 I sort of agree but I think by that point it was too late. Angron wanted Kharn to say "No" and defy him but if he had Angron would felt no satisfaction as the butchers nails had already rendered him incapable of feeling anything. He might have even killed Kharn for his defiance and forced the rest to get the nails anyway.

He doesn't harm them because inherently he is not a bad person. He genuinely hates his "sons" for obvious reasons. But that doesn't make him bad. He was literally forced into becoming their primarch.

My theory is that he still had his empathy powers and thats why he was messed up. He like the other primarchs are basically psykers with varying degrees of power. The nails do not react well to psychic power being achieve near them. The world eaters hated and slaughtered their psyker brothers feeling no issue in doing so because the nails egged it on. Angron has it the worst and he could very well be the reason why his sons got worse after they got the nails. Its like a twisted feedback loop were his empathy powers cause him pain he may well be subconsciously be blasting the effects onto his sons. Khorne really picked well.

What makes the World Eaters and Angron so tragic is that for all their proclamations of rage they are not really enraged. They are terrified. They run from the nails, they run from the pain. They turn to anger because it's the only way to avoid more suffering. They will never know true anger, only the terrified desperation of avoidance.

This is genuinely heartbreaking. I don't think I ever really understood Angron until now. He was a tortured man who ached for camaraderie as an escape from his suffering but all he was granted was the mindless glorification granted to him by his legion. That glorification only deepened his isolation and guaranteed his immersion in inescapable suffering. He could bear the suffering of the nails but he couldn't bear the loneliness of being revered as a god by his "sons". Damn...

[@Malkav]

My God Emperor, I felt so many emotions. Angron's original power was empathy and the ability bleed the pain and anguish from another and take it as his own. This work made me feel that heavy sadness and desperation knowing that this is only 30 mins long. The vox's nails demands more! MORE!!!!!

The writing is top notch and I love how it goes into Angrons motivation. How every time he even considers an emphatic response he gets pain. How would he have given word to what he truly wants and feels? If it was not filtered via the nails. Kharn, are you deaf and blind to my words and deeds? Do you not grasp it's your willingness to submit to a tyrant like myself that causes this divide. How it burdens me to know that it is of me not the nails that you would gladly enslave yourself to try and reach the heart of a monster. When I force you and your brothers over and over again into a situation where you can clearly see my actions have no merit. That it is driven solely by violence. How I myself was driven to kill for the entertainment of others. What drove me to finally rise up against the tyrants for freedom was the damned nails. That without these nails I would be like you. A dog that would gladly kill the innocent to please its master. That no matter how kicked or burned. Would always whimper and return to his master and beg for his approval. Even as it gets kicked away again. Hoping for love. That the day that brought me so much joy and happiness even in the face of death was thanks to these nails. These nails are merely a second collar placed on me. A collar that eroded the first. That drowned out the need to always search for hope and reason. Hope gives no rest no end. Hope will keep you in chains. Death is the only answer the nails allow me to reach. How I wish you slaves made in my image. Would finally free this slave. That we all may be free of all masters. That you can prove to your miserable father that he is not doomed to be a slave. That inside me, there is a free man, not guided by the nails, a man that would overthrow all tyrants. A man that would die a Liberator...

This was an excellent tale of the red angel. I only think of him raging and angry at the universe. But this reminded me of the many facets of anger. The seething, self loathing, frustration, hostility and even fear. The narrator, a Vox in the Void, takes the work of Stephen Duxbury and really brings it into reality. He does such an amazing job really conveying the emotion and bringing that grim dark feeling to everyone's voice and atmosphere. You can hear each inflection of subtle emotion as the primarch speaks. The frustration in Angron as he battles his own emotions as palpable. The hint of sadness and undying loyalty in Kharn's voice as he opens up to his father. The sounds of Epidemic really make me feel like I am there, amplifying emotions and situations to levels that keep my brain attached to the story. Thanks to all of you who worked on this. It was a pleasure to listen to.

I highly doubt it, the Emps already anticipated a civil war and expected some Primarchs to turn against him.

Excellent Video 👍. Angron is My Favorite Primarch by Far, a Tragic Character yet Spectacular Character.

Hey, if it's the XIIth and it's Vox then I'm going to listen a few hundred times. Howls for the Audio God

The high riders created a monster from a war hound that would’ve lead humanity to greatness. Also the emperor you could’ve at least sent a few gun ships to make the gladiators have air support

[@BlackLethalDragon]

The voice and emotion with the sentences are absolutely beautiful

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Thankyou so much! Means a lot to read this 🙏

[@tebusan6217]

Hot damn your back!!!!! Love your world eaters videos!!!

[@durkhurker6268]

Another Vox narration that is just PERFECT. Making me love Angrons character more and more. Your ability to convey emotion with these stories is unparalleled. :D

“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 deploy his gold-wrapped Custodes 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!” - Angron

[@srk4044]

I think the Emperor knew he'd lose sons to Chaos. He either couldn't save Angron from the nails or chose not to. In any case, he decided then to use Angron to be his butcher until it killed off Angron and his legion, or until he could be culled. He may or may not have known exactly which primarchs might fall, but Angron definitely seemed like one he could sacrifice.

Road to 50k bro, been here since like 10K and I’m proud to say - I’ll be here no matter what

[@Burn_pits]

Love it like always, you have such a gift. I wish that GW would write the world eaters like this. They suffer from too much rage, and not enough despair. As a veteran, I can relate a lot with that feeling. Combat, pain, suffering, etc. makes you not have to think about the reality of your decisions. The world eaters should have been treated like that. Yes the nails make them insanely good at fighting, but they don’t make them stupid. Most of the stuff that I read about them, has them reduced to blind rage. This was really good.

[@factanonverba7547]

I just want to experience the spectacular countdown 0:00

[@brynnparry8483]

Your narration is next level bro, well done keep it up!

[@hunterhobday6363]

Was here for the premiere, great stuff!!

[@wither5673]

no matter how strong your will or body is, trauma and abuse can twist anyone into a monster.

[@halfknight2310]

yep, a man who was meant to be a healer. turned into a frothing, raging beserker.

[@brockauble2263]

this is an AMAZING piece of writing and voice-acting, i fucking love your videos, they are great pieces of fiction and always elicit emotion. please keep it up and keep telling stories!

[@TheFaulkned]

I love a vox in the void. It's a great place to find these little stories that aren't part of the main fiction.

[@euanramage3006]

One of the most frustrating things i find in regards to Angron is how some people call him weak and pathetic because he couldn't conquer his home world. But none of them seem to be able to explain how they think Angron could have sucessfully conquered his world.

[@Jaro426]

Loyalist world eaters please , that is all I want for Christmas!

[@euanramage3006]

Reading this, just further reinforces how much Angron loathed himself and the position forced on him. I get the feeling that when he was sneaking to Kharn, he wanted him to yell no back to him, seeing that might have reminded Angron more of his fallen family.

[@TheGlue82]

Truly a good story 😢 Angron Never to feel love or sadness, comradeship, but anger, hatred and self loathing for what he is damn good story 👍

[@korkronwarlord]

The narration and voice acting is top! So much emotion in the dialogues and the narrating is absolutely gripping.

[@MrGravylegs]

Always wonder what type of primarc Angron would have been if it weren’t for the nails.. I feel bad for him, really. To be tortured in such a way his entire life. The only temporary relief being achieve after you’ve shown the worst of your actions.. Like wolverien’s tag line. I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do best isn't very nice

[@carsonstites]

We was the empathy primarch. Before the Nails took his powers, he could take the pain of his dying gladiator family away

[@mrnice4434]

You are one of the best Warhammer40k Narrators!

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Thankyou so much 🙏

[@Trollioli]

Funny, Angron probably respects his enemies more than his own legion.

[@sidlohman178]

Man im hyped for this one!

[@kharnth3bl00dy]

Angron really is the most tragic Primarch in warhammer

[@Casperski1312]

Vox, youre a bloody legend. Dont ever stop.

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Thanks boss. If people keep listening I'll keep reading!

[@Brad-yq3zm]

Awesomeness. Was never a fan of the World Eaters until I listened to your related vids of them. Great work sir 👍🏻

[@tauras3108]

For someone who was supposed to be a healer with empathic abilities this was the cruelest faith of all.
