@Tacticus_ ANGRON JOIN DA ORKZIES! WE TREAT YOUR BOIZ PROPER!!

[@jackmyers8687]

Roboute: "Brother, we need a plan of attack." Angron: "I have a plan. ATTACK!!"

[@willrogers3793]

When I first heard of the World Eaters and their Primarch, Angron, I dismissed them as a rabble of one-note berserkers, mindless with bloodlust and utterly useless for anything other than carnage on a massive scale. While that description still rings true for the most part, (especially in their modern, corrupted form) the more I learn about their history, the less inclined I am to dismiss them. In fact, out of all the legions that turned traitor of their own volition, (I don’t consider the Thousand Sons to have been willing traitors, at least not at first) I would say that the World Eaters and their Primarch are the only ones who I truly sympathize with. An army of men who were physically superior to any mere human, yet at the same time were irreparably damaged in psyche. A legion that lived every waking moment in agony that would shatter a mortal man, yet refused to acknowledge their own suffering and would never seek nor accept pity for their tortured existence. The World Eaters may have been barbaric savages before the Heresy, and to describe them as anything other than monsters in their present form would be gross dishonesty. But a part of me cannot help but respect, or even, to an extent, admire them for what they once were.

[@Joawlisdoingfine]

TheBunkerBuster 105 If the manemperor saved Angron’s Brothers alongside him, or helped them conquer the planet, Angron would have been loyal. I wonder why he did not do it

[@bladestormviking]

it's a damn shame that the emperor threw his son in the cargo hold of The Conqueror and told the 12th legion "IDFK, you figure it out".. Angron COULD have been taught if he had only been shown the same courtesies his brothers got.

[@stevepalpatine2828]

The XVth never turned on the Imperium, The Imperium turned on them. After Prospero they had no choice.

[@ekscalybur]

@@bladestormviking The same courtesies his brothers got? I do not think his brothers would have been afforded the courtesy of being allowed to tell the Emperor to fuck off. Once the nails were deemed impossible to removed without killing him, the attempt should have been made. At the very least, agreeing to install them in the entire legion should have never went forth.

OI THESE SPACE 'UMIE BOYZ ARE GUD FIGHTAZ BUT THEYZ NOT ENJOY THE FIGHTIN' AND ARE JUST ANGRY ALL THE TIME. SUMTIMES I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU 'UMIES SOMETIMES.

[@The1WhoTouches]

Tactics? The tactic is if we have no idea what we are doing then the enemy certainly will have no clue either. ATTACK!!

[@IronWarhorsesFun]

I HAVE A PLAN OF ATTACK; ATTTACKKK!!!!

[@barrylucas505]

The World Eaters, all the horrible aspects of war rolled into one tragic example. Pity them.

[@IronWarhorsesFun]

THEY HATE THE FREINDZONE!!!

[@cgavin1]

Just a tool. Like a file, or a rasp..

[@TheSascatch]

Pity them, and be destroyed by them.

[@DJsharp707]

i bet they would pitty you as a pathetic worm

[@reaver414]

whenever i picture the primarch Angron, i see him furiously exploding through a concrete wall with his chain axes. words that come to mind for this legion and their primach: Ferocity, hyper lethal, unmatched Psychoactive implants

[@ekscalybur]

This is how I picture him entering every room, no matter how mundane and ignoring the existence of a perfectly functioning door.

[@marmitch5056]

Best lore channel ever

[@Warpwaffel]

This channel is great. It's like reading Forgeworld's black books with your ears. Ok, that sounds weird, but whatever. :D

[@OculusImperia]

That's what I was shooting for so I'm entirely happy with this comment.

[@rosicroix777]

"Such a tale ! But all were thrilled in its telling. Such is the power of the Remembrancer that none who hear forget and all other retellings pale & are forgotten"....................excellent video !

[@jacobs4545]

Its cool that the Death Guard has some of the same discipline as guillimans sons

[@Chibiruda]

They mirror eachother rather well, a tragic reminder to the 14th of what they were, and to the 13th a warning of what they can become if they turn from their path

[@blab1231]

Half expected this video to flash ‘what tactics?’ For a minute, then fifteen minutes of black screen.

[@negative_zero]

You've rekindled my interest in 40k lore. Good work!

[@michaellapalme1198]

Perfect, as always. Thank you for another. Emperor’s Children next? :)

[@McDerpinton4ever]

4YR ago, yet i watch it now and am blown away by your amazing content. Thank you for covering the 12th legion and so much more about the Heresy.

[@TK199999]

I always find it funny, that you can recreate something of the lost Primarchs and their legions. By the hole they left in order of battle and specialty they would have filled. Because said holes remained after their passing.

[@Xune2000]

If the Emperor thought it was a good idea to keep monsters like Angron and Curze around, what must the 2nd and 11th Primarchs have been like? They were probably completely corrupted by Chaos, or worse, female. The horror!

[@KaelisRa81]

Xune in fact...he didnt think it was a good idea. It was necessary. It is highly douptable that, if the horus heresy had not happened, all the primarchs and astartes would have "survived" the aftermath. The Thunderwarriors are an example of a tool that was not longer usefull at a certain point. Thinking of the Emporer as a loving father is a mistake. The astartes are warriors and their primarchs were warrior kings, nothing more, nothing less. Yes, the Emporer was looking for a way to genetically enhance humanity...but the astartes or the primarchs were not it. He referred to the custodes as that what humanity could become. The pinacle of evolution. But the custodes are not warriors or soldiers in the first place and that is the big point.

[@antimuppet]

More likely, they would not follow orders. Imagine a Primarch taking his Legion out of the Crusade and fortifying systems for his own use, or a Primarch who would not engage in 'Pacification' of human-controlled worlds. Defiance of His will would be the fastest route to oblivion.

[@willrogers3793]

Because we all know that vaginas are FAAAAAR more terrifying and repulsive than anything the Warp ever puked up.

[@Zaprozhan]

1. Found a way to breed 2. Refused to follow the Emperor 3. Ruled over, cooperated or subjugated themselves to Xenos. (gathered from many similar threads)

[@arbeione]

KaelisRa81 I’ve always wondered about this? How would the emperor get rid of the Primarchs and the legions? Unless he created something within the gene seed to kill them all remotely. There’s no way Leman Russ would kill all the other Primarchs alone. Thoughts?

[@warhound888]

Absolutely loving this content. Such motivation for getting my world eaters together. Sharing!

[@keithrimer8415]

Fantastic videos! Keep up the great work bro!

[@leopoldjenkins]

Cannot get enough of these videos. Superb as always

[@doolittle555]

I think we can all say you really nailed that video.

[@ClayCult]

Fantastic timing.

Great vid! I'd love to see the 1st Legion Dark Angels next:)

[@Magmaxyz]

Please carry this on for all the legions as its fantastic! Also i was your 7777 sub :)

[@jacob.w.collins3672]

Love the channel and this video especially. Could you please put this in the astartes playlist with the others when you get a chance. Cheers! Jake.

[@tyelee2419]

It's here!

[@OriginalDecurse]

an entire legion of Banes

[@fullgreys0n738]

Hey Oculus Imperia, can you make videos about important battles, like Istvann III our the battle in the Phall System, their is plenty of material of it. And it would be awesom with your documentary style.

[@Belisaur]

Do Sly marbo

[@eisenhorn5494]

Request, the Inquisition. Any ordo would suffice just make sure to whisper.

[@piotrd.4850]

He stood up to the Russ, and while tragic character and terrifying .... but this one thing is oddly redeeming and satisfying.

[@David-ku5fy]

i love your videos mate. (audios a little quiet each time) but they are 10/10 good times

[@OculusImperia]

My bad with this one, tried a different recording technique and it did not pay off.

[@David-ku5fy]

i think its better just needs a little levels boost.

[@MrDarthtelos]

When this video wasn’t in you’re astartes playlist I just assumed you didn’t make one for the XII. Glad I was wrong.

[@arbeione]

The world Eaters have always been my favourite legion. I’m just drawn to their ways and Angron is just a bad ass. In my opinion in terms of single marine on marine combat, I think the world Eaters win against any legion.

[@Cyrusvongrimm]

after this, iwill have watched all your videos in the span of two weeks! ineed more

[@feralprocessor9853]

Right off the bat, a black and white picture of three Astartes.

[@jackmyers8687]

Tell them ruin has come to their world, Death, despair and red war... Tell them their hopes and pride have come to nothing, Tell them their empty whispers fall upon deaf ears their gods are dead, human reason has killed them, Tell them the Angels of Death have come, Tell them nothing can save them now.

[@pbr-streetgang]

Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼🖖🏼

[@absolute-focus]

Another stunning video.

[@philips.5563]

I like the modification to your intro.

[@orrion67]

your the best remembrencer

[@aria5614]

I'm curious, couldn't The Lord Emporer have teleported up all of Angron's fellow slaves up with him? Or was the technology limited to one person at a time?

[@Chibiruda]

He didn't bother, aquiring the primarch was his only goal and motive.

[@koric8556]

Have you done any vids for this series on the Space Wolves? I did not see any, I would love to see them!

[@Skullcrusher404]

Do the Blood Angels next pleaseeee

[@jakewestfall1634]

Yessss

[@tomseppanen2316]

They have tactics? since when?

[@dueinuremom5082]

Ok something that has bugged me for the longest time is why were the world eaters so brutal. As far as my understanding goes angron was chill before he got his brain mutilated, he wasn’t genetically pissed off. So then why would it seem like the world eaters are genetically predisposed to carnage and bloodshed. I mean, more than the usual amount.

[@yetanotherbald4401]

‘“Attack” is the only order worth remembering’

[@thundertube69]

Blood Angels plz.

[@OculusImperia]

As soon as Angelus drops!

[@feralprocessor9853]

Stealth, NEVER! Violence, ALWAYS!

[@oliverallen5324]

Unfortunately the World Eaters never had a sit down with the Eversor Temple. Imagine an Astartes Eversor.

[@orrion67]

wonderful

[@Ian-gh7ci]

Basically warriors of Khorne loyal to the Emperor.

[@DeHerg]

Basically Orks. Even their means of advancement is lifted straight of their example.

[@PaperSmiles]

World Eaters...tactics? Really? *Sees the video length* Ah. Yep. Makes sense.

[@lolply54]

This video is not in the Legiones astrates playlist (and there is contained the video on Powwer Armors): i thought you could have been intrested in knowing so

[@OculusImperia]

KZbin's new studio is terrible at letting me manage playlists. I'll see what I can do about adding it, thanks for the heads up!

[@lolply54]

thank you for taking the time to read and answer :) This tactics and structure video are probably my favourite 40k video on YT: i look forward for the 1st and 20th Legions!

[@feralprocessor9853]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULLTHRONE!!!

[@Luccaluke]

This video is missing in your playlist "The Legiones Astartes"

[@OculusImperia]

Fixed!

[@ilililil490]

I wanna know the sources for the organization of the world eaters o.o

[@Chibiruda]

Look up book 1 "betrayal" of the horus heresy. It features the world eaters amongst other legions during Isstvaan III

[@oliverallen5324]

Angron believed in the true hierarchy: the living and the dead. Everything else was superfluous.

[@ArchArturo]

World Eater Tactics: Rip and Tear.

[@isaacackerman8179]

World eaters and tactics? This video should be less than a second long

OCULUS could you increase the volume of your recordings please? your content is great but can be hard to make out.

[@OculusImperia]

My bad with this one, tried a different recording technique and it did not pay off.
