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.

[@worldeater2414]

I always claimed it was more Shakespearean myself but yeah, it is all pretty tragic lol

[@XSilver_WaterX]

​@@XSilver_WaterX Well he's not the direct result of their consciousness. Aside from maybe Slaanesh they were around before him. Also the Emperor is not responsible for the nails in Angrons head. He designed Angron to be empathetic. His mistake was not saving Angron's gladiators, and possibly not killing Angron outright.

More than anything, I feel, Angron desperately wanted Kharn to say "No".

[@shocker6093]

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.

[@badasscustodes1697]

Actually he did want them all to say no (look up cry havoc its by vox)

[@andygarcia5712]

“What have we done to dishonor or displease you?” “You displease me by your very nature Kharn” “We are made in your image!” “Perhaps that displeases me as well!” “That we are in your image, or do you resent your own reflection?” “Both” The tragedy of the World Eaters, a broken father begets broken sons

[@siamihari8717]

And somewhere deep down angron clearly wants to love his sons. But simply cant. Why else do all he can to avoid them and to not harm Kharn.

[@klaiken989]

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. Graped into that position, as he stated. He just wants to be left alone, and his chapter just doesn't get the hint ​@siamihari8717

[@crowejagerson3628]

Angron is the abused fighting dog of the Primarchs. He could have been a loyal warhound but a beaten dog will only know hate.

[@paleface171]

This little passage has me having pity for Angron, I had read the wiki of the nails, and thought it was awful but this makes them even worse. The high riders deserve the massacre.

[@Ghost_of_Avalon]

From the day he was born, Angron was a slave. From the day he was born, Angron has raged against his chains. From the High riders, to the Emperor, to the Dark Gods themselves. Perhaps one day Angron's rage will become so great, that the chains will finally break.

[@christopherholmes7324]

I'll pay top dollar to see that happen! For real!

[@progeniesofthetoiletpaperh6433]

Angron breaking past his bloodthirster form and becoming the greatest form of warp rage and one day beating the shit out of Khorne and replacing him as the blood god would be a sight to see, at least for me.

[@hasturthekinginyellow5003]

The community has made this joke that Angron made yet another mistake by killing Yarrick, but what if Angron knew that orks can absolutely kill demons (like actually kil them) and thatGhazkull would make the biggest WAAAAAGH! ever since The Beast if he ended the commissar's life? What if Angron is trying to commit suicide by orks?

[@anotherstreamer6963]

Angron become khorne

[@richardch.4356]

That would be one hell of a sight

[@DaniMol]

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.

[@REDVETTExxx]

Nah.. anger gives him purpose… motivation ..

[@donny484]

I wish Games Workshop explored this side of Angron more, the side of Angron that wants to be human rather than just this broken monster. The fact that he tries to will himself to express grief shows there is a side of Angron that is human but is unable to break out due to the Emperor's design.

[@joeyk3134]

I think the grimdark part of his lore now is that all his life he's fought against his "slaveholders" and now, he's been doomed to an eternal slaveholder

[@tobsw3802]

I'm pretty sure it's the nails stopping him from feeling grief or happiness or any other emotion. The other primarchs are all capable of feeling a full range of emotion. It's only Angron that's been lobotomized by the nails.

[@inquisitorgarza312]

Angorn saw his Father the Emperor as the worst tyrant and worst abuser, but I believe he realized that the Blood God is worst compared to him and there is no doubt that he was going to be forever hated to fated to kill with no end.

[@richardch.4356]

Khorne did give Angron peace for a moment freed from the nails freed from his Anger

[@Bigboy_smooth]

Wow Angron is probably the most tragic primarch out of all of them

[@briarblack7437]

Nah m8 that title absolutely belongs to Lorgar for the simple fact that in the end, when all is said and done, he was right to worship the emperor, but he was censured for his faith.

[@thewretchedpleb7484]

​@@briarblack7437 I mean, Lorgar chose to be Catholic. Magnus was born psychic and was censured just for being different. Meanwhile his brothers openly kept their "legally distinct totally not psykers". And while his father compounded this double standard by using his powers at will and explaining none of it. Wasn't long before Magnus fucked up so bad he retroactively deserved all of it and vindicated everyone who hated him, but I digress.

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.

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...

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...

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.

A Primarch - a *son* - left broken, an entire Legion of Space Marines sacrificed to pointless mutilation, to butchery, to soul-crushing degredation... and why? Because it was more expedient? Because the Emperor didn't care? Because the Emperor was too inhuman to look on this scarred, maimed, self-loathing wretch and feel even an inkling of compassion? Basilio Fo was right all along.

Anrgon might be my favorite Primarch, simply because his betrayal might be the most justified. He feels nothing but pain, all day, everyday, and infinite ache of pain that ranges from a full ache to a blazing pain that’s only ever slated by murder. Even in sleep he gets not respite from the pain, bombarded with the memories of the men and women he couldn’t save. I often of could have been If the emperor had been more compassionate that day, if he had fought with his son instead of stealing him away and letting his warriors die, how different the lord of the red sands could have been.

[@acfangaming]

Unmatched in quality by all others. The atmosphere and sound effects are spot on. Truly no greater time to engage in 40k lore than right now. Especially as world eaters fan!

[@connorriggs1518]

Well that’s was a truly splendid start to my long weekend

[@AVoxintheVoid]

Glad you enjoyed it Connor!

[@kharnth3bl00dy]

Angron really is the most tragic Primarch in warhammer

[@partyshoes2917]

Good background music and sudden stops has you feel the change of mood, it combines well to set the feeling and unpredictable actions of the angry boy

[@markusnavergard2387]

Angron is a sad and terrified child lashing out against a universe that abused him and so he abuses others. he is the saddest of primarchs. He never had a chance.

[@loods2215]

Spectacular performance as always. You really managed to make the pain and hatred of a betrayed son feel real

[@GunterThePenguinHatesHugs]

All Angrond needed was for one of his battle brothers to come to his room like _"WE SAVED YOU A PIECE OF THE CAKE, BROTHER! THE CORNER PART WITH THE ICING, JUST AS YOU LIKE IT."_

[@NoobArtist77]

My favorite moment of Angron is after Kharn receives the nails and kills the surgical team. Kharn shatters his own teeth by clenching his jaw too tight. Angron then finally came, greeted kharn as his son, and guided him out of the surgical bay. I always felt like in that moment Angron recognized his sons, but also realized the horror he inflicted upon them.

[@Bikeadelic]

Idk what people are on about when they say Angron made no sense. This is very simular to how I would react were I him. The primarch with his power makes his rebellious childhood abuse fueled mistakes on a galactic level. Very human.

[@darksider2903]

Absolutely Incredible video. Great voice. If Lorgar didn't turn Angron into a demon and ruined his soul, i am quite sure emperor and malcador would've brought him back in a new body. They were going to bring back Ferrus after his death if they had time. Oh i hate Lorgar

[@813bryant]

I highly doubt it, the Emps already anticipated a civil war and expected some Primarchs to turn against him. If Chaos wasn't even involved he would've still wiped any traitor legions like he did the II and XI legions because it would've fit within his plan of phasing out the astartes after the great crusade.

[@robertboaz3160]

I've seen so many opinions depicting angron as the "dumbest" primarch. Not that this takes away from the intellect or oratory skills of the others, but each primarch, angron included, is so well spoken and intelligent. God damn I love this series and all of warhammer 40k!

[@SirSpycrab]

Not only was he forced to kill his father, he was forced to enjoy it

[@TheGlobalProfessional]

I just listened to the first 5 seconds of this and it's already metal af.

[@stridertex]

This was absolutely incredible. Of all the Traitor Primarchs, I've always felt the most sympathy for Angron. While some were just motivated by sheer hubris (Horus, Magnus, Lorgar), others incorrigible dicks (Perty, Mortarion, Konrad), and a few just utter dirtbags (Fulgrim), Angron is the only one who truly was misused and done dirty. Everything from the manner of his "rescue" to the Emperor refusing to try and find some way to heal him, Angron truly had an axe to grind (pun intended). Angron will always be one of the few genuine failures of the Emperor and one the Imperium will continue to pay dearly for.

[@ianward8658]

I wouldn’t lump magnus into hubris, though he definitely had it. He fell because he had nowhere to turn to. Fulcrum was more hubristic. The emperor did try to heal him, he even brought in Arkham Land to help. He couldn’t take them out without killing him. If I remember correctly the quote was “a broken tool is better than no tool at all”. He knew what he was doing.

[@berilsevvalbekret772]

Hey now Magnus had hubris sure but the guy was genuinely compassionate and wanted best for humanity. It was a combination of his own , Russ and Emperor's errors that screwed him over. Fulgrim wasn't a raging narcissist before he got that damned sword he was insecure but kind and also wanted the best for humans.

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

Given konrads and mortarions combined mental and physical trauma from their worlds I think it's understandable why they ended up the way they did too

[@agbottan]

Angron has such a refined vocabulary and speech for an overpowered unstoppable sadistic murderous beast.

[@stevenguevara2184]

Stephen Duxbury is an amazing writer to put ot mildly. I would read anything He puts His name on. Excellent narration, & production as well. This is 40K at its best.

[@racspartan1]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@thewayfarer8849]

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

[@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 👍

[@darrenrenna]

The Tragedy of Angron. His Brothers in their brave & doomed rebellion, then his Legionary Sons in their self destructive quest to be worthy of the father they had so long dreamt of, only for their devotion to be so completely dashed. Stories like this are where 40K rises to the level of literature.

[@burnpitcav1519]

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.

[@Bornst3ll3r]

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

[@eotwkdp]

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 🙏

[@jaskegoffii3968]

Kharn was the biggest simp at all. And Angron is a chad. We knew how this would end. Funnily enough, Kharn was the least like Angron. All bark and no bite where Angron is concerned. Truly a dog

[@StrokeSkull]

when kharn was appointed as angron's advisor many of the world eaters disagreed with this choice. Kharn was extremely charismatic unlike his father but he was similar in all the other ways(especially in combat). Kharn's job was to offer opinions to angron and even disobey and disagree with his commands but he didn't do that. He was jealous of the other legions because he saw that their father loved his sons. Angron wanted to feel something but he felt nothing. Kharn wanted to feel something, Kharn wanted to love his father and wanted his father to love his sons. Kharn obeyed all commands HOPPING, BEGGING that angron would start carring. Angron and his relationship with his legion was extremely toxic and it wasn't his fault nor was it Kharn's fault. It was the nails fault and it was the emperor's fault. Kharn and angron were both victims.

[@hunterhobday6363]

Was here for the premiere, great stuff!!

[@brockauble2263]
