Khârn and Erebus fight in the pit from "Betrayer" - A 40k Dramatic Reading

[@ThomasSpettel]

This is evidence that the chaos gods care not for those that worship them. Only the joy of madness and the pain they bring to all and any.

[@harmonicajay91]

My hope is that Erebus' end comes when it is because of betrayal at the hands of one of his fellow Word Bearers who is taking his place as the go to guy of Chaos. That he is being replaced because even the Gods are sick of him.

[@Warmaster2001]

​@@harmonicajay91 well the potential candidates for whooping Erebuses nasty ass is Kor Phaeron, Corax (if whiney bitch ever leave Sicarus) and Kharn (Vengeance is not succeed he need to finish the job with coldblooded fury)

[@joshuaseuser625]

They do Care its just they liked Argel Tal and Erebus dosnt worship through faith but for Personal Gain wich Chaos dosnt Appreciate

[@bohemianearspoon8493]

If it is erebus’ pain then I’m in

[@magni5648]

Or, applying extremely undue charity, that even the Chaos gods agreed that Erebus was well overdue karma hitting him in the face like a sack full of bricks.

Though not as satisfying as his death seeing Erebus helplessly run from a one on one like the coward he is, is just perfect.

[@attemptedunkindness3632]

I have watched an Ultramarine in terminator armor fold and crush a Tau into a screaming sphere of twitching meat as though it were of clay, and this scene is still the bluest balled.

[@gasterblaster9817]

From the moment Kharn enters the arena, he only speaks eight words. He is truly Khorne's champion (eight is Khorne's sacred number).

[@PeppernTheCook]

Nice little detail, I didn't catch that before and I've heard this story probably 15 times. Thanks 😊

[@bluedog843]

The best part about it was that this was not Nails rage. It was pure rage. The rage of losing a true friend.

[@Warmaster2001]

Well deserved. Shitebus deserves it.

[@Rubymagicalgirl88]

I mean, the idea that Erabus thought he had a chance. In a fight to the death, his arrogance on full display here.

[@MrZoupsoup]

Fuck erebus

[@evandonnelly2760]

Even if it didn’t stick, Kharn humbled Erebus here.

[@azurmurat2717]

Great voice acting to a great moment

[@Kalebfenoir]

THAT is the Kharn that I love reading about. Not the screaming maniac frothing at the mouth... the dead quiet, cold, utterly ragefilled but completely in control warrior who picks and chooses who dies, and who's combat skills are so amped up that even Khorne looks at him and says "Wow, I don't even need to offer him power or any kind of reward. I can just let him do what he does unaltered..." Maybe one day...one day we'll finally get to see the end of Erebus, at the end of Kharn's axe again. And then Erebus can find out the Gods were laughing in his face for all those millennia.

[@alexanderstrickland9036]

He’s a tragic villain. That’s what makes him interesting

[@OverLordRiper]

I'm pretty sure he's amped by Khorne here. Don't get me wrong, Kharn would steamroll Erebus in any fight they had, but here he brutally takes apart an elite Space Marine duelist by just being too fast and too strong, no one could do that without some juice.

[@reinretter9655]

At this point in the story it's heavily implied that Kharn has Khornes attention. He's like a fulcrum for the legion as a whole

[@TheHandofDestiny]

This Kharn is pretty obviously jacked up with Khorne's power

[@dac314]

Gotta love how blinded and egotistical Erebus is: he doesn't expect to face consequences for slaying Argal Tal. He literally never conceived that Kharn would show up for vengeance. What an absolute imbecile.

[@hell1942]

Argel tal is a word bearer right? What kind of relation did he have with kharn

[@OverLordRiper]

@@hell1942 They were best friends, close as brothers. Argel was also keeping Kharn from fully embracing the madness and bloodlust of Khorne, which is why Erebus killed him.

[@Warmaster2001]

​@@OverLordRiper so the asshole killing Argel damned Kharn to insanity and bloodlust.

A world eater is unhinged, mad, baying for blood and the ending of all life. Kharn in this moment was a War Hound! Composed, Ruthless, Lethal.

[@reinmarren9959]

Kharn reminds me of Death from Puss in Boots in this scene. "Pick it up. Pick. It. Up."

[@phantomwraith1984]

Kharn said 8 words to Erebus: Sanguis extremis. Get up. Get up. Get up. 8 words. Kharn is the 8th captain. 8 is Khorne's number

[@MrEvan312]

Kharn really did pull a "Discombobulate" like out of the Sherlock Holmes movie. I can only imagine how often he relived this revenge.

Literally the only thing I hate about this story is that Erebus survives.

[@WTFisTingispingis]

His rep was fucking mud, though. Everyone knew him as a bitch after that point.

[@dark_lord3772]

Kharn is so devestated by the loss of the only being he could call a friend in a universe of darkness, that he doesn't even take enjoyment from the revenge, even with the nails. It's brutal.

[@Flannel-Channel8837]

Though not as satisfying as him dying for real, seeing Erebus run in fear like a mortal is just delicious. Favorite moment in all of warhammer. Erebus now has to live with the fact that he only lives because Kharn held back, he lives cuz Kharn lets him

[@paytonkraft7564]

Kharn represents the perfect embodiment of fury here, imo. The World eaters as a whole are violence and murderous frenzy made manifest. But Kharn? He's the embodiment of focused hatred in this one moment. He doesn't need to monologue or show just how utterly PISSED he is at Erebus. He just wants to vent his rage on the one person he hates more than anyone now.

[@dmitriystarostin8023]

Every time rereading this moment brings so much joy for Kharn beating shit out of Erebus and sadness that this asshole survived, like a filthy coward… For Argel Tal!..

[@Nonexistance0]

I want to see this fight animated tbh

[@Kalebfenoir]

Yeah, I just wanna see Kharn angry, but completely in control. Not breathing hard, but dodging with ease and boredom. And him quietly saying "Get up." in a calm, cold manner. As if nothing had happened.

Horus: "Face me." Erebus: "Though I have dueled champions as mighty as Khârn and lived, I... I don't think a duel with the likes of Warmaster Horus befits his noble stature nor my capability." Horus: "I never mentioned a duel. _-F -*-À-*- Œ└ -*-ME-*- ¬ -*--NØW-* _ . "

Erebus deserved every minute of it.

[@TanKMeteoR]

If this was the Kharn that faced Sigismund on Terra, it might have actually been close

[@Madchefred]

This was peak of Khârn as a fighter. After this he was broken and hurt. He would never again, even with Khorne's Blessing be this driven. To avenge Argel he was pure force of will, robbed of his vengeance he became exactly as Angron. A broken, hollow toy for the Blood God.
