ANGRON THAL'KYR - Lord of Red Sands | Warhammer 40k Lore

For this Transmission of Traitor Primarch we shall tell the deeds of the so'called Red Angel: Angron.
Forced to fight within the gladiatorial pits of Nuceria, the boy whom would be named Angronius Thal'Kyr would not begin his life as a crazed killer but an honourable and compassionate soul.
Yet with the implantation of the Butcher's Nails into his skull, the Primarch of the World Eater's future would be damned to tread the path of the Blood God and his never ending bloodlust and rage...

That final quote is incredible. It really speaks to the kind of Primarch Angron was born to be, crafted to become. Much like Jaghatai, he truly grasped the enormity of their situation, as butchers for a tyrant, hounds for a brutal master. If not for the Nails, he might've been as compassionate as Vulkan or Roboute or Jaghatai.

Angron would probably have been one of the best if not for the nails. He was honorable and merciful before the nails.

[@Shadowhunterbg]

The Emperor you can call a bad father but he was never a tyrant or a brutal master. He showed great patience and restraint towards his sons and to countless worlds during his crusade. Just look at Lorgar and Angron, sons that Big E should have aborted the moment he set his eyes upon. One of the reasons the Emperor almost lost to Horus is because he didn't have the heart to kill his most favored son, despite everything Horus did. Eventually he killed his son after he saw the cruelty and insanity of the Warmaster. Every single traitor Primarch is either broken as a person or proud while every rational and functional Primarch and countless regular humans defended the Emperor to the end. That showed how much of a "tyrant" he was. The Emperor always saw the bigger picture and had noble goals like destroying Chaos. He is the only hope for humanity like it or not.

[@kassi420]

Angron didn’t force the butcher’s nails onto the World Eaters, the World Eaters lead by Kharn did it to prove to Angron how far they were willing to go to relate to him, and it was after that Angron finally realized the World Eaters were honorable enough to be lead by him and they were not some group of the Emperor’s cronies that were forced upon him.

[@nonimport-ante]

There are several theories as to why the emperor treated Angron the way he did among my favorites: 1. the simplest is that angron represented an aspect of the emperor's self that he didn't like. 2. another is that it was punishment for refusing to serve. while other's had challenged him to prove his worth and Corvus asked for time to finish his war none had flat out refused. 3. in creating the primachs the emperor had given away parts of himself. he literally couldn't understand how important this was to his son, because the part that could've was gone. this also explains why he couldn't just make new ones. there is a nonphysical aspect to the primachs creation that he couldn't repeat. this is also why he couldn't grasp Logar's need for faith or Horus's insecurities. I also think this cause him to see them less as individuals and more as extensions of himself which is why he always just assumed they would do as they were told.

[@Eckskalibur]

The quote in the beginning made me realize that the Emperor let Lorgar keep his other abusive father in his life, even though the Emperor could probably sniff out the sickening vibes that dude was giving off alone. Big E really just choose to not care for Angron even a bit.

The Emperor just wants #$@#$ done. He never cared how or why, just as long as #$#@ got done. Any impediment to his progress like Lorgar's wasting time with building cathedrals, THEN was a problem. He is the Master of Mankind. He does not ask. He only expects....

@@jamesneese7663 Tell that to how he took the time to teach Vulkan after he found him and took him to Terra.

[@jamesneese7663]

@Eckskalibur again a matter of convenience. The one thing not brought up in the video is that Big E was already on the planet in pursuit of Angeron. The High Riders cut a deal with big e to surrender peacefully and join the Imperium willingly, all for handing over Angerons location. The Emperor readily agreed, not knowing how much the High Riders had abused and tortured Angeron and was caught in a vice to keep his promise or to purge a world all for sake of a problem he didn't fully grasp at the time. The choice was obvious even if seemed absurd to Angeron It wasn't until long after the fact that the Emperor discovered how extensive that dark age ^&^% was destroying his son, and by then it seemed terminal so Big E decided the problem would resolve itself eventually. Then the heresy exploded. In his face. The Emperor was probably like "D'oh."

[@Eckskalibur]

@@jamesneese7663 The issue with the “issue resolving itself” Is that it involves Angron to his fate, which if I’m not mistaken was death.

[@jamesneese7663]

@Eckskalibur yeah, and? By time The Emperor found Angeron, the nails were already hammered in, by time Big E realized they were a problem, the nails had literally replaced entire sections of Angeron's 🧠 in a way that Arkran Land foremost expert on dark Age tech for the entire Imperium was stupefied and aghast at how they worked far beyond what they were supposed to based on historical records. Even threatening them with death, Lorgar couldn't get any useful information out of the high riders Angeron was "dead" before the Imperium ever recovered him. The nails were meant to be a slow, painful and entertaining death for rebels by high riders of nuceria. No one imagined how they would react to a primarch but the end seemed the same as for everyone else ever implanted: terminal. There was nothing anyone could do to "save" him, so Lorgar damned him to eternal hell instead .

Sure, I don't agree with Emps beaming him up without his fellow slaves (at the very least he could've also saved Angron's friends too), but had Angron accepted the Emperor's offer, a lot less of his friends would have died, just saying.

Out of all of the tragic backstories among the Primarchs, Angron's comes the closest to bringing me to tears. To lose those he loved and have his freewill totally taken, its just heartbreaking to me.

[@TheArmchairPatriot]

Honestly I didn't realize the Emperor had actually offered to help Angron and his warriors defeat the Nucerians, even if it was on the condition of him leading the War Hounds. That makes Angron's entire plight a lot less sympathetic to me. But it also clarifies why Angron sees the Emperor as a tyrant, he was given an offer, refused, and yet was forced anyway. But just imagine if Angron had instead responded to the Emperor something to the effect of, "You help me save my brothers and kill the Nucerians, I'll lead your legion." Would of had a loyalist Angron I bet.

[@stephz8040]

I get what you mean, but I’m not sure that level of foresight was possible for Angron. He was broken, after I’m assuming years of resistance and the effects of the nails, I think he just wanted to die with his men and women. I feel for him because he didn’t want to be a general, he didn’t care about an emperor and his dream of unification. They weren’t his dreams. The Emperor took what I would assume to be something extremely valuable to a former slave from him, his freedom. His free will was taken from him. And it’s clear the Emperor knew Angron would die, but he chose to get his buck for his dollar. Also, why are all the other Primarchs so autistic to not be able to see that? Hell, even the angel didn’t really do anything for Angron. Free my mans Angron! Let him die in peace!

[@SerV689]

What part of lore states this? I’ve ready most if not all of the World Eater books and have yet to read an offer of help.

[@ULTIMATZEKROM]

Agreed.

[@branthobbs2975]

There was an offer but it wasn’t a “Hey we’ll help ya bud I am your loving father.” It was more of “Come with me if you want to live.” The offer was to Angronius and Angronius alone. Not his people. That’s why he said “Nay knave!” Then good ol’ Neoth was like “Whatever, yoink” and took Angron despite himself. Angron was all like “Nooooo!” and Big Easy is like “Shut up pipsqueak!” and Angron was all like “You suck dad!” and Empy was like “Duh I know but I’m me so shove it.” And then Lorgar and blah blah blah Angron comes back omen omen omen ark blah blah and then mushrooms. Yup friggin mushrooms! Waaaaaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!! We’ll see though. Angron by far, my most favorite Primarch. I hope he gets some redemption somehow. Either a good death or like a return to sanity or something I dunno I just hate his constantly being the bad guy because somebody else was an a-hole to him. He’s never seen as anything other than a monster. I think the only one who really maybe cared was Sanguinius.

[@jacobwalsh1888]

Angron is nothing more than the whiniest of the Primarchs. His rage is nothing more than the impotent rage of the victim. Impotent because no matter who or how many he slaughtered, he could never, ever assuage that rage. The best part of the Horus heresy is his DEFEAT at the hands of Sanguinius, and his realization that the rage of Sanguinius is true rage. Pure. The rage of righteousness.

[@vontheunknown7982]

I hope Angron finally gets the death he wanted, but what do you guys think?

Hey brother amazing video. However we know Angron was banished back to the warp when Sanguinus defeats him. The reason the legion fragments is due to Angron not being in real space for thousands of years. Khorne uses his most prized asset in the great game. Then when Angron is summoned to the orks home-world known as armageddon, this starts the cycle, he returns again to the conquer and the world eaters have started to amass. He is a beacon of slaughter to the world eaters they are drawn to him like a hive to a queen. It explains this in the new angron book.

[@jacoblambert5699]

The best explaination ive ever heard about why the Emporer didnt help Angron was because when he met him and saw what had been done to him he realized he couldnt help him. He thought of the ancient Terran shark, and how if it ever stopped swimming it would simply die. It always needed something to hunt to kill to keep it moving. Angron was much like that shark. He knew that if Angron got his revenge on the masters he would lose the thing that drove him forward the thing he hated so even if he helped him win his war he would slowly fade and die because he didnt have his reason to hate. So the Emporer loved Angron so much he didnt want to see him die so he gave him something to hate and a reson to keep going, even if it meant he had to hate him..... 😢😢

Angron's outright refusal was probably a major blow to his ego so leaving the gladiators to die was probably out of spite. At this point I really can't say if there are any 'good' sides in 40k but it's grimdark so maybe that's the point,

[@JLAvey]

Given that every other primarch unified their worlds, I get the sense (no idea if this was the writers' intent) that Angron proved more a disappointment to the Emperor. The Emperor wasn't one who rewarded failure and he wasn't one who would waste a resource. He wanted to salvage what he could from one of his most expensive weapons.

[@user-yf4gx4rf8h]

@@JLAvey Yeah but Konrad came from a planet of criminals. Big E still let him recruit from them for his marines. I just cant see him being so out of it that he wouldnt have seen the value of pulling from a trained fighters, that had already shown undying loyalty to what would have been their primarch. It like Big E gets to be the most wise master thinker, and then gets a pass for missing obvious things. How do you NOT grasp that leaving this mans ONLY family to die is going to be a big problem.

His son's claim to be angry all the time. The Angry Marines would like to argue against that. Angron is insufficiently angry compared to the Angry Marines.

[@anothy7228]

just got off work, ready to hop into some 40K lore

[@TheSascatch]

The beginning is actually wrong. The Emperor never offered to help Angron in the battle, he only told him that he was his son and that he needed to come with him to command his legion, and the Emperor never let Angron take his gladiators with him. Also, the Emperor was not “disappointed in Angron’s tactical acumen” as you say, in fact quite the opposite, The Emperor was actually very impressed with Angron’s great victories but knew he would die in this last battle as he was outnumbered massively, therefore he forcefully teleported Angron to his ship in order to save his son because he knew he would be a useful tool.

[@be_quiet_and_drive]

If the emperor allowed the war hounds to fight alongside angron on nuceria, things would have turned out so much differently. It's very puzzling why emps didn't do that.

[@SignedWithBlood]

I think the Emperor was disappointed in Angron . He wasn't able to conquer his home world and was about to die when the Emperor found him. He treated Angron like a failure. Angron deserved so much better.

[@efaristi9737]

17:58 That attempt should have been made literally decades ago. Such a tragedy, Angron potential, destiny, his very being! were spolied before he even fly up to the stars. I don't get why the Emperor kidnapped Angron, it would have been so easily for him, even with just a bunch of custodian, to destroy the slavers armies and even conquer Nuceria entirely. Or even just to offer a escape route to Angron army. Angron would have been grateful and getting Nuceria into the fold was in the Emperor plan anyway so why not doing it?

I always thought that the more heartbreaking and tragic reason Angron hated and despised his Legions' weakness was due to NOT pushing back and outright refusal to his insistence on taking of "The Butchers Nails"... Very much at the risk of Death for the Legionaire. "There is Honor in Death with one's Refusal to Bow!"

So confused as to how the writers think angron would've lost the slave revolt

[@SpoonerSpecter]

Because gladiators aren't soldiers, a mob of gladiators won't beat an army, the butcher's nails make Angron a poor leader of men especially if he's fighting in the battle himself, and primarchs aren't invulnerable. Angron had the benefits of the legions backing and the support structures of the imperium. Angron and a couple thousand gladiators and rebels with no real supply lines or logistics don't stack up to an entire planetary army with advanced tech. If Angron had never had the nails, he would've likely succeeded in rebelling and have been a loyalist primarch.

[@headlibrarian1996]

It's surprising that Nuceria appears to have had no taint of Chaos despite bringing a smile to Khorne, had he known about it. The Butcher's Nails seem like something wholly inspired by Khorne, yet the Emperor detected no Chaos in it (Chaos artifacts always have taint even if they don't use warpcraft in their operation) when he examined Angron alongside Arkhan Land. Then again, the Emperor somehow missed all the Chaos worship when he visited Colchis. It is amazing how incompetent Angron was given his many failures to escape. If he could slay hundreds in the arena he should have been able to escape easily, I doubt they had an entire army to guard him. Even 20 or 30 men should have been woefully insufficient to stop him.

Honestly, Lord of Red Sands sounds way better than Red Angel. It’s an epithet that gives more personal context without making him sound like discount Sanguinius.

[@coops3600]

I’ve never really understood how angron was 1 captured and forced into slavery and 2 subdued to implant the nails when he took out a squad of eldar, who presumably probably had technology more advanced than anything on that planet, as an infant. This always seems to be glossed over in all these explanations.

[@Cinerary]

A whole planet of Techno barbarians can subdue one demigod better than a small squad of elder. He wasn’t a chaos god after all. He was still mortal. Just super enhanced with super long life. And he was basically still an infant when they captured him

[@coops3600]

@@Cinerary Are we to believe an entire planet worth of warriors was gathered at the capturing of angron, with him slaughtering hundreds or thousands before they got him in chains strong enough to hold him? I don't think so.

[@Cinerary]

@@coops3600​​⁠no. But the point is, they had high technology, and there’s enough of them to be able to subdue him. A squad of 20 eldar are still just 20 eldar. You bring 200-500 men with high tech weapons like Nuceria has, he’s not coming out alive. He’s an infant demigod. It’s more unbelievable that they subdued his adult form but I’m sure they had devices for that. Maybe they could have gone into more details, but they didn’t. If that’s the most unbelievable thing you’ve read in 40k you just haven’t read enough lol.

[@danmarusan2878]

Angron could've been the Spartacus of Warhammer 40K but because of the butchers nails he became Kratos with brain tumor and CTE. All the Emperor had to do was saving Angron AND his men. They could've been transformed into Space Marines, a gratefull Angron would've lead them from one victory to another and when the nails eventually killed him the War Hounds/World Eaters would've worshiped Angron, honored his legacy by defending humanity as loyal servants of his father: the Emperor.

I'm so confused about GW's writing here. These primarchs are so far above normal humans as to be super -powered, right? This guy was so mad he killed a Custodes while not wearing power armor. He killed an Eldar assassination squad as a toddler. A *toddler.* And they expect us to believe he lived a lifetime under slavery under regular humans, even in a technological society, without escaping despite numerous attempts? Dude could sneeze at a brick building and knock it down. Mere humans managed to enslave a Primarch and maintain such perfect security and vigilance that it took him decades to escape? I feel like the company writes itself into a corner constantly, then handwaves it away because they just had to have their Spartacus ripoff.

[@kayvaanmcsharrowkyn6901]

Sooo much went wrong for The Red Angel.....From the Eldar he fought with upon his pod landing...which wore him out Making it possible for the slave master to capture him.... Which then led to him being sold to a Gladiator Household, Which then led him to develop a sense of "Family", and honor amongst his slave brethren, and receive a Father Figure in his older slave mentor. Unfortunately, this led to him going against the slavemasters will, and giving them a reason to basically lobotomize him. And then more kiiling...He FINALLY ESACAPES LEADS A RAG TAG ARMY..AND IS THEN EVENTUALLY CORNERED AND ABOUT TO DIE. HE IS SAVED BY THE EMPORER, WHO REALLY SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT DECISION THROUGH I.M.O., AND THE REST IS HISTORY. THE NAILS CANNOT BE REMOVED WITHOUT KILLING ANGRON (EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ALREADY KILLING HIM..JUST SLOWLY)AND HE SHOULD HAVE JUST BEEN LEFT TO DIE AN HONORABLE DEATH AND BE PUT OUT OF HIS MISERY. HE WASN'T A PRIMARCH LIKE HIS BROTHERS ANYMORE. HE WAS BROKEN...HIS LEGION WERE DOING JUST FINE WITHOUT HIM, AND HE BASICALLY SENTENCED THEM TO DEATH SIMPLY BY BEING GIVEN HIS SONS. HE HATED THEM...FOR REALS HATED THEM...IF NOT FOR KHARN HE WOULD HAVE KILLED THE ENTIRE COMMAND STRUCTURE IN A MATTER OF HOURS. It all comes back to win his pod crashed on nuceria, if the Elder hadn't been there he might have been able to go hide in the mountains until he was at full strength and I don't think you would have been captured at that point and he could have taken over the world like the rest of his brothers did instead he was caught unawares and was screwed over right at his weakest point and that set the ball in motion for him to be screwed for the rest of his life. If only a couple things could have been different we would have gotten a very empathetic but also extremely calculating and brutal Primark and that would have been sick. I wish that there had been a way for them to remove the nails safely as well I mean come on and your you telling me you can't figure that out?

Wow...that puts a new perspective on Angron's story...hell, it makes Angron a liar and an idiot according to that quote in the beginning.
