The Angron saga is the story of creating sociopaths, he was driven into sociopathy and he gave his sons the gift he was given, one of the most terrifying things about human nature 😢😢
Every time he asks another Brother Legionary what its like to stand in the presence of their primarch, all I hear is: "What is it like, brother, to have a father who truly loves you?"
"I am betrayed! Betrayed unto death! Father! Devourer of worlds! Red Butcher! Can you hear me, father?! Do you know what you have done?!" So much emotion in these lines, I love it
@@borisdorofeev5602 too wholesome for angron he probably just speedwalked away trying not to cry in front of his other sons before he could get to his astartes pattern stress ball
Not only they're feeling the trauma of being betrayed, they're also struggled againts the butcher's nail. Damn, ...the loyalist World Eaters are definitely among the ones who have been hit the hardest by the Horus Heresy.
It's a crazy thing to contemplate. They literally hobbled themselves to try to gain the approval of their father, and he just didn't GAF. Sad. Almost makes me regret choosing world eaters for 10th Ed. Almost.
I said it once and I’ll keep saying it. The world eaters can be one of the most interesting and complex character wise when they aren’t just acting like blood crazed berserkers.
"A SLAAAAAVE! I am a slave Varus." The rage in those lines. I can see Angron's incensed face in my mind. As I've gotten into more of 40k mythos, this is the best version of Angron's voice out there. No one comes close. The gravely, low growl that is delivered here is perfect. He's equal parts peerless gene sire and enraged, guttural beast.
I agree. The official black library renditions for Angron are so weird. He sounds more like a snickering wretch than a conqueror in agony. Starscream instead of Megatron. The black library voice actors do a good job on some characters but not others. The Night Lords omnibus with Talos and his gang is a good example for amazing voice acting tho not so much Angron in Betrayer for example. This guy nails it tho - the growling, hurting ursine beast that is Angron. Hell yeah!

Angron really is the only Primarch that the Emperor truly failed. Magnus, Lorgar, especially Horus. The Emperor really tried to shape them into loyalists while respecting them. Angron? Angron had his moment taken from him. His chance to be the Primarch he was meant to be was stolen, and he was nothing but a hollow vessel for anger ever sense. Angron is a lot deeper than people beilieve.
The emperor had nothing to do with Angron being a complete failure of a primarch. The slavers of angron literally cut a chunk of brain away to insert the nails which was a big reason why Angron didn't really have a primarch Aura like his brothers.
@@therealistintheboot8822he Emperor had everything to do with it. Angron wanted to die by his brothers sides, die alongside his fellow gladiators, thinking it was the only thing he could do. Had the Emperor gone down to Nuceria and fought alongside Angron, had they been freed of the rule if the elite, Angron would've been the most loyal of them all. Instead, he traded one set of leashes for another. Instead of dieing with his brothers or freeing them, he was forced to watch them be slaughtered, powerless as the Emperor took him from his wishes The Emperor failed Angron
@@adennkyramud116 I agree completely. There’s just no good reason I’ve ever heard for the emperor not to help him defeat the slavers and free his people. It’s what a father would do. It’s what any decent human being would do. It might be the most asinine single decision the emperor ever made.
@@adennkyramud116 Dying in battle side by side with his fellow gladiators wasn't just a choice Angron made. It was the only choice that had true meaning to him. The only time he had the agency to decide his own fate. Angron had made clear what his wish was, a worthy death, free from anyone else's influence. Saving him would have meant taking that choice away from him. This is purely my own speculation, but I sincerely believe Angron was so ruined by what the rulers of Nuceria had done to him that the only thing the Emperor could have done to earn Angron's loyalty would have been to respect his wish and let him die.
@@declanlee6894 Yes, especially since the Emperor would have known Angron's mindset in detail, having created him, it would have been obvious no act could have been worse for gaining respect or loyalty. He could have wanted the resources of the planet unplundered, but then he should have captured the entire rebel army, not just Angron, which should be well withing the Emperor and his guards' ability. Though I think the Emperor made as big a mistake not recognizing that Angron was far too damaged to ever serve as a good primarch. You'd think the wisest man in history would recognize a rabid dog an not let it loose on his land.
"A SLAVE!" So much anger, regret, resentment, disappointment in his 'sons' for not getting it. All balled into one bellowing scream. You are now my headcannon voice for Angron in that one bitter, humanizing cry.

He was meant to be an angel on par with sanginius, and as kind as Vulkan himself. But that was taken from him, then the death he earned with his true family was taken from him. Then the death he sought in the heresy was taken from him, and all that is left for him is blood and slavery, and nothing more.
This is super interesting, basically Angron saying his reason for ordering the implantation of the Butcher Nails was a test to see who would be ballsy enough to resist him, like he resisted on Nuceria. I think this is really self aware of Angron, since he feels its in his nature to resist but also seems trapped to not be able to do so, he puts his sons in the situations to do what he wishes he could. Like he knows he's messed up, but wants better for his legion. It's funny how he insults them by calling them the Emperor's dogs, but probably likes them more than his traitor sons for fighting back against their destruction.

I feel so bad for the HH era world eaters, they’re like abused children desperately seeking the approval of a drunken father who blames all his problems on them. Perturabo was similarly rancid and cruel but for angron his sons seemed to genuinely want his love and approval and were willing to go to any extreme to achieve that. Maybe it has something to do with his supposedly compassionate nature that was completely drowned out by the nails. Usually astartes would inherit their primarchs personality so perhaps that is why they were so desperate to have a relationship that so many others got to have with their “fathers”. I do hope that they make a chapter of “unknown origin” that’s got hints to them being sons of angron just like the Blood Ravens are heavily implied to be sons of magnus.

@@hawkshot867 and add in the fact his sons wanted to receive his approval. How can a son act properly when he meets his father so late with little understanding of one another. A tragedy fitting to be of the classic.
this is why i love loyalist world eaters and truly does show what a tragedy the nails where to Angron, could only imagine a timeline where Angron was found earlier
Anything involving Istvan III is simultaneously one of the most harrowingly depressing yet beautifully inspiring kind of tale out there for Warhammer - nothing but emotion, the first twist of the knife, and it shows the loyalist elements of traitor legions in all their sheer, profound glory. Thank you VOX, for giving us the last rattling breath of the loyalist exemplars of their legions.
My absolute favourite story. I listen to this at least once or twice a week. I am in the process of making a mini diorama with Varus and Angron because of it 😅
Oh my gosh man. I have listened to this story at least a hundred times, and i still get new insights on the story telling. When angron comes for varus and asks him "do you have something to tell me?" Varus assumes that the primarch heard his outcry. But when varus starts to ask why, asking why he would be betrayed, Angron gets annoyed and silences him. Like he's specifically looking for one thing from him and is irritated he didnt get it. But then Varus says it. The thing he wanted to hear from all the others, who wasted their last breaths asking useless questions. Getting the courage to finally speak up and speak his true mind. Angron gave Varus approval, because at that moment, he became a true son to Angron. He HATED him, just as Angron hated his own father. Thats why he did all he had done to his legion. To show them why he had to betray the emperor. To turn them into the rabid dogs the emperor turned angron into. This story, cry havok. It is truly one of the best things ive ever had the privelage to experience.
Oh Angron... I know how his role was to be the empath of his brother Primarchs. How he was to have, figuratively, a heart so large that it would've made Vulcan's seem small in comparison. And then his his mind, his heart, his very soul... was mutilated... How can anyone look upon the Red Angel and not feel sorrow? Sorrow for what could have been. What should have been...
Angron scorning the World Eaters for not standing up to him but also murdering Centurion Mago and his brothers for standing up to him is one of those little grating things that makes him one of my least favorite primarchs.
Just, damn...I wasn't expecting a World Eaters story to be so emotionally gripping. Like, I knew what I was getting into with the Lamenters video but this was almost just as moving. I think the saddest thing is that due to what was going to come further down the line, Verus and his men dying on Isstvan 3 was probably the best thing that could have happened to them. Excellent work once more, Vox, and well worth the wait
The ending was beautiful in a way. It made me recall the painfully bad relationship I have with my father. It also reminded me of how that compels me to strive to be a worthy father to my children. Bravo on a story well told.
This story is beautifully done, the rage you can feel from the Warhounds as they fight their brothers in a desperate battle for survival. The pain and heartbreak of The Red Angel as he recalls his path to glory and freedom against his oppressors. It truly does pull at one's emotions for both traitor and Loyalist forces.
What people fail to understand about Angron is HOW he was before the nails he acutally HAD a father figure who fought along side him in the arena of Nuceria and as sad as unfair as that world his first kill when he got the nails was said father a gladiator just like Angron's brother and sisters. MANY of the others were able to keep their human fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters even their soldiers Angron had some of those things but wasn't allowed to keep them leaving him with NOTHING but the nails.
Absolutely beautiful once again. The tortured voices, the feeling, the way you make a character that only has 5 lines feel ALIVE. I loved it. Also, the line about fingers and shell casings was *chef's kiss*
Many thanks chaotic voices. It was an absolute pleasure narrating this wonderful piece of writing. I'm so lucky to have worked with such talented writers.
God those last ten minutes. Truly enrapturing. The pain and the emotion. The sadness in Varrus. The loss in Angron’s. The music drifting off then Angron begins to tell Varrus of his own betrayal and his disappointment in the lack of resistance of the nails
This reminds me of another story about Angron I’m having trouble finding again. I don’t remember if it was official or fan-made. It was about the Emperor confiding in a Custodes that he intentionally led Angron to hate him, as a means to prolong Angron’s life. It was presented that, basically, the Nails were in too deep, and the Emperor hadn’t the means at the time to safely remove them. But he wagered he might later. The Emperor was very confident that if he took away Angron’s motivation-the protection of his gladiators and hated of the Riders-by intervening in that battle, his son’s anger and bloodlust would subside, and his empathic tendencies would take over. And as such, the nails would multiply in their toll on his mind, furious that Angron no longer did as they wanted. And so the Emperor gave Angron a new target for his hatred: himself, if only as a means to buy time to try and fix things later. The Emperor compared what the nails had transformed Angron into to a shark; to a predator that would die if it stopped moving, stopped hunting, stopped fixating on a target. Does this ring a bell for anyone else here, lol?
Brother-Captain...this piece you've breathed life into...The despair, the rage, the anguish of the betrayed loyal World Eaters...it is a kind of perfection I've longed to hear told and for this, I thank you! They were a legion cursed by fate with a Primarch they tried so hard to please. This narration encapsulates that rage and anguish flawlessly. The relentless pain of the Nails, the will needed to keep them at bay, the question every one of the loyalists that stood upon the scorched ground of Isitivan III...You bring glory to our beloved lore Brother-Captain and for this, WE SALUTE YOU!!!! FOR THE BROKEN PRIMARCH AND WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN! FOR THE LOYAL SONS OF THE EMPEROR! AVE IMPERATOR!!!!
Absolutely fantastic work! It's pieces like this that cause my admiration for Angrons torment as a truly broken son, to grow. In the brief moment he speaks you can truly feel his sadness over the dishonor he feels at being alive. Very well done indeed.
25:32 I listened to these last 5 minutes over and over. It's sooooo good. I can totally understand Angron and yet I also can understand the loyalists. If only they had tried to learn more about their Primarch instead of following him without question. At least Kharn stood up to him somewhat, but even he couldn't completely do it. Blind loyalty and obediency are never good.
The Istvan story I’ve always wanted is one of shifting perspective. What did the Emperor’s children think when he heard one of their captains telling them to seek shelter, did they gain an epiphany about the divisions in the legion? What did the World Eater think when just moments away, locking eyes with a human rebel in an underground bunker on Istvan 3 did the shockwaves of the first virus bombs shook the ground above him? What did the Death Guard think when his brothers in the warrior lodge found his loyalty to the Primarch wanting, an instant before his body is consumed by the life eater virus? What ran through the mind of the Son of Horus as he heard his father, the War Master, betrayed the Emperor? Personal conflicts and mental breakdowns are why I’m here.
Can't believe I discovered 40k only a few months ago I've always loved fantasy, Star Wars (Not current canon), Lord of the Rings, Warcraft, Starcraft, Warhammer Fantasy, Runeterra, Westeros and so on But 40k is definitely, by far my favorite and its not even close Angron has one of the most interesting stories, what a shame he was made a Demon and what a shame he had the butchers nails implanted, hope somehow, he gets reverted to what he should have been, by the Emperor, although it is utterly extreamly unlikely.
And even this more fleshed out version of Angron, with all the emotion and great acting, he still comes over like a massive failure at heart. A Primarch too weak to see beyond his self to recognise his purpose.
Back in 3rd edition and I was 14 years old my second army was a World Eater army just because of the snippets of lore surrounding Angron started to grow. To be a Legion of lost primal savages they have one of the saddest stories ever.
They gave themselves over to the implantation of the nails to be closer to their primarch. Believing him to be better than a high-rider. Perhaps the sergeant's last words gave Angron pause. A moment of doubt. A moment, before it was washed away by the nails.
What story is this where can I read it in which book does the warhounds fight custodies,,the only one iv listened to is in the audiobook outcast dead the one with the astropath Kai zulane,is there another ????
@@christianwarrior3169 from the lore I have read. The surviving thunder warriors(not custodes) where organizing and trying to make a cure for themselves. The warhounds were dispatched to wipe them out. Thunder warriors definitely killed more warhounds than vice versa.
I have always loved, pitied and respected Angron and his sons. Theirs is a story of true loss, and only the foolish who skim the very surface mock these destroyer of cities, these hounds of war. Only the foolish miss the tragedy that is the World Eaters history.
These loyalists are the first to endure 'The Horus Heresy.' I hope GW writes about a small handful of Lunar Wolves, Death Guard, Emperor's Children, and War Hounds present in the 40K setting as broken and old 30K Space Marine Loyalist, old but veterans' of The Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. I want to see them, especially War Hounds.
It's hard to not take this as canon, it makes perfect sense why he hated his legion. Angron wanted his legion to stand up to him almost like how kharn did

This story is excellent and your narration is fantastic. Its neither over the top, nor cringe. I have no idea how you do it. Your narration tells me exactly what's going only clearly while also coloured by the correct emotion. I am immersed with Verus as he faces Angron. Be proud.

I have to say, you guys always find a cool new angle to tell a story in the 40k universe. It makes my mind wonder about all the possibilities of further stories.
This is awesome, I've always found the betrayal of Istvann III really overlooked compared to V. Plus I really liked the thought that not all the traitor legions turned and willing to betray the Imperium.

@@hawkshot867 and add in the fact his sons wanted to receive his approval. How can a son act properly when he meets his father so late with little understanding of one another. A tragedy fitting to be of the classic.
Sounds an awful lot like the cycle of abuse.
A good person wouldn't have perpetuated it.
@@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290
Wasn’t that the entire point of angrons story? Abused by the slavers and by his father only to abuse his sons?
this is why i love loyalist world eaters and truly does show what a tragedy the nails where to Angron, could only imagine a timeline where Angron was found earlier
"Tick..... Tick... TICK! I let the Boltgun speak for me." I love this response and the brimming breathless Hatred in the Narration.
Anything involving Istvan III is simultaneously one of the most harrowingly depressing yet beautifully inspiring kind of tale out there for Warhammer - nothing but emotion, the first twist of the knife, and it shows the loyalist elements of traitor legions in all their sheer, profound glory.
Thank you VOX, for giving us the last rattling breath of the loyalist exemplars of their legions.
Thankyou for the support and amazing message. Very well put my friend
The utter hatred in Angron’s voice when he called his legion by their original name, honestly the most underrated moment in the story
I really felt Angron at the end. It’s like yea he’s a traitor and you can argue that he’s still a slave to Khorne but in this moment you just get it
My absolute favourite story. I listen to this at least once or twice a week.
I am in the process of making a mini diorama with Varus and Angron because of it 😅
I'd love to see it! Make sure to take some photos when it's done!
Oh my gosh man. I have listened to this story at least a hundred times, and i still get new insights on the story telling. When angron comes for varus and asks him "do you have something to tell me?" Varus assumes that the primarch heard his outcry. But when varus starts to ask why, asking why he would be betrayed, Angron gets annoyed and silences him. Like he's specifically looking for one thing from him and is irritated he didnt get it. But then Varus says it. The thing he wanted to hear from all the others, who wasted their last breaths asking useless questions. Getting the courage to finally speak up and speak his true mind. Angron gave Varus approval, because at that moment, he became a true son to Angron. He HATED him, just as Angron hated his own father. Thats why he did all he had done to his legion. To show them why he had to betray the emperor. To turn them into the rabid dogs the emperor turned angron into. This story, cry havok. It is truly one of the best things ive ever had the privelage to experience.
that's very deep
The passion in angron’s voice , the pain , the rage , this is a masterpiece
Thankyou Jose! Glad you enjoyed the performance my friend!
The end of this dialogue was so beautiful.
Poor Angron, running away from slavery he ran right into the willing arms of Khorn to be a slave all over again.
Oh Angron...
I know how his role was to be the empath of his brother Primarchs. How he was to have, figuratively, a heart so large that it would've made Vulcan's seem small in comparison. And then his his mind, his heart, his very soul... was mutilated...
How can anyone look upon the Red Angel and not feel sorrow? Sorrow for what could have been. What should have been...
I want these war hounds to live. He lost his arm but doesn't remember losing it! Chills!
A loyalist World Eater is probably the scariest thing in 40K.
Angron scorning the World Eaters for not standing up to him but also murdering Centurion Mago and his brothers for standing up to him is one of those little grating things that makes him one of my least favorite primarchs.
Just, damn...I wasn't expecting a World Eaters story to be so emotionally gripping. Like, I knew what I was getting into with the Lamenters video but this was almost just as moving. I think the saddest thing is that due to what was going to come further down the line, Verus and his men dying on Isstvan 3 was probably the best thing that could have happened to them. Excellent work once more, Vox, and well worth the wait
Many thanks once again Wolf. I agree that this was the best for Verus's squad to go down fighting in the name of the Emperor and Brotherhood
World Eaters are the ultimately "daddy issues" faction. Probably why I relate to them so much 😂
I’m just taken way. World eaters. Poetic magic 👏👏👏
The ending was beautiful in a way. It made me recall the painfully bad relationship I have with my father. It also reminded me of how that compels me to strive to be a worthy father to my children. Bravo on a story well told.
Angron is perfectly depicted here couldnt ask for more
Many thanks Francis!
Not long left, definitely getting some fights in before this, we can’t leave Khorne wanting
This story is beautifully done, the rage you can feel from the Warhounds as they fight their brothers in a desperate battle for survival. The pain and heartbreak of The Red Angel as he recalls his path to glory and freedom against his oppressors. It truly does pull at one's emotions for both traitor and Loyalist forces.
What people fail to understand about Angron is HOW he was before the nails he acutally HAD a father figure who fought along side him in the arena of Nuceria and as sad as unfair as that world his first kill when he got the nails was said father a gladiator just like Angron's brother and sisters.
MANY of the others were able to keep their human fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters even their soldiers Angron had some of those things but wasn't allowed to keep them leaving him with NOTHING but the nails.
Damn this is perfect, I have rarely seen a representation so perfect of the tragedy of the World Eaters and Angron, this is heartbreaking
Absolutely beautiful once again. The tortured voices, the feeling, the way you make a character that only has 5 lines feel ALIVE. I loved it.
Also, the line about fingers and shell casings was *chef's kiss*
Many thanks chaotic voices. It was an absolute pleasure narrating this wonderful piece of writing. I'm so lucky to have worked with such talented writers.
God those last ten minutes. Truly enrapturing. The pain and the emotion. The sadness in Varrus. The loss in Angron’s. The music drifting off then Angron begins to tell Varrus of his own betrayal and his disappointment in the lack of resistance of the nails
This reminds me of another story about Angron I’m having trouble finding again. I don’t remember if it was official or fan-made.
It was about the Emperor confiding in a Custodes that he intentionally led Angron to hate him, as a means to prolong Angron’s life. It was presented that, basically, the Nails were in too deep, and the Emperor hadn’t the means at the time to safely remove them. But he wagered he might later.
The Emperor was very confident that if he took away Angron’s motivation-the protection of his gladiators and hated of the Riders-by intervening in that battle, his son’s anger and bloodlust would subside, and his empathic tendencies would take over. And as such, the nails would multiply in their toll on his mind, furious that Angron no longer did as they wanted.
And so the Emperor gave Angron a new target for his hatred: himself, if only as a means to buy time to try and fix things later.
The Emperor compared what the nails had transformed Angron into to a shark; to a predator that would die if it stopped moving, stopped hunting, stopped fixating on a target.
Does this ring a bell for anyone else here, lol?
Brother-Captain...this piece you've breathed life into...The despair, the rage, the anguish of the betrayed loyal World Eaters...it is a kind of perfection I've longed to hear told and for this, I thank you! They were a legion cursed by fate with a Primarch they tried so hard to please. This narration encapsulates that rage and anguish flawlessly. The relentless pain of the Nails, the will needed to keep them at bay, the question every one of the loyalists that stood upon the scorched ground of Isitivan III...You bring glory to our beloved lore Brother-Captain and for this, WE SALUTE YOU!!!!
FOR THE BROKEN PRIMARCH AND WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN!
FOR THE LOYAL SONS OF THE EMPEROR!
AVE IMPERATOR!!!!
Absolutely fantastic work! It's pieces like this that cause my admiration for Angrons torment as a truly broken son, to grow. In the brief moment he speaks you can truly feel his sadness over the dishonor he feels at being alive. Very well done indeed.
This makes my hair stand up. Chilling and I want and need more.
That ENDING man, absolutely perfect
Man that hit hard, it’s easy to forget what the betrayed loyalist marines went through
Just 11 hours to go until this new epic addition!
This is assuredly going to be EPIC!
25:32 I listened to these last 5 minutes over and over. It's sooooo good. I can totally understand Angron and yet I also can understand the loyalists. If only they had tried to learn more about their Primarch instead of following him without question. At least Kharn stood up to him somewhat, but even he couldn't completely do it. Blind loyalty and obediency are never good.
One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard 11/10
Happy Father's Day
I love the Dente’s Inferno reference
?
The Istvan story I’ve always wanted is one of shifting perspective. What did the Emperor’s children think when he heard one of their captains telling them to seek shelter, did they gain an epiphany about the divisions in the legion? What did the World Eater think when just moments away, locking eyes with a human rebel in an underground bunker on Istvan 3 did the shockwaves of the first virus bombs shook the ground above him? What did the Death Guard think when his brothers in the warrior lodge found his loyalty to the Primarch wanting, an instant before his body is consumed by the life eater virus? What ran through the mind of the Son of Horus as he heard his father, the War Master, betrayed the Emperor? Personal conflicts and mental breakdowns are why I’m here.
As someone who has always had a troubled relationship with his father,this completely represents my love for the world eaters
A work of art! No, more than that. A masterpiece.
Can't believe I discovered 40k only a few months ago
I've always loved fantasy, Star Wars (Not current canon), Lord of the Rings, Warcraft, Starcraft, Warhammer Fantasy, Runeterra, Westeros and so on
But 40k is definitely, by far my favorite and its not even close
Angron has one of the most interesting stories, what a shame he was made a Demon and what a shame he had the butchers nails implanted, hope somehow, he gets reverted to what he should have been, by the Emperor, although it is utterly extreamly unlikely.
Why am moved so much by Angron!?!? I did expect to have that last line got me....
And even this more fleshed out version of Angron, with all the emotion and great acting, he still comes over like a massive failure at heart. A Primarch too weak to see beyond his self to recognise his purpose.
still my favorite piece of 30k audio
Back in 3rd edition and I was 14 years old my second army was a World Eater army just because of the snippets of lore surrounding Angron started to grow. To be a Legion of lost primal savages they have one of the saddest stories ever.
I love the final loyalist in a traitor legion perspective. You always have great stuff, thank you so much ❤️
"I HATE YOU!"
"Good."
They gave themselves over to the implantation of the nails to be closer to their primarch. Believing him to be better than a high-rider. Perhaps the sergeant's last words gave Angron pause. A moment of doubt. A moment, before it was washed away by the nails.
Amazing story, incredible music, breathtaking reading. This is by far the best video about warhammer 30k. Thank you so much for your work here.
Thankyou for the amazing words of support my friend 🙏
Since this came out I think I've listened to this over 100 times it's goin to be hard to top this it's the personification of being a world eater
No way, Angron really thinks inserting nails that stop cognitive processes may not have been such a good idea?
Well that was as expected yet unexpected. That was epic, intense and a job very well done! I vote for gav and bob pt 4.
Thats was awesome. I also vote, if voting is permitted, for more dark comedy. ^^
I get goosebumps from this short story every time I listen, the emotion of the characters makes me feel in the moment
Great one. Awesome job as usual. Would love to see a story of the warhounds wiping out the last thunder warriors.
Ooooo that would be 👍
The fight to the top,
the struggle to secure the win,
the shock of betrayal.
What story is this where can I read it in which book does the warhounds fight custodies,,the only one iv listened to is in the audiobook outcast dead the one with the astropath Kai zulane,is there another ????
@@christianwarrior3169 from the lore I have read. The surviving thunder warriors(not custodes) where organizing and trying to make a cure for themselves. The warhounds were dispatched to wipe them out. Thunder warriors definitely killed more warhounds than vice versa.
I have always loved, pitied and respected Angron and his sons. Theirs is a story of true loss, and only the foolish who skim the very surface mock these destroyer of cities, these hounds of war. Only the foolish miss the tragedy that is the World Eaters history.
Always wanted to hear what a loyalist world eaters view was. I was not disappointed.
Well..... now i want an istvaan iii series.....
This was a masterpiece couldn’t have been better you guys are the BEST
These loyalists are the first to endure 'The Horus Heresy.' I hope GW writes about a small handful of Lunar Wolves, Death Guard, Emperor's Children, and War Hounds present in the 40K setting as broken and old 30K Space Marine Loyalist, old but veterans' of The Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. I want to see them, especially War Hounds.
The rage and passion put into this was utterly amazing
Fricking AWESOME!!!! Love it love it LOVE IT!!
It's hard to not take this as canon, it makes perfect sense why he hated his legion. Angron wanted his legion to stand up to him almost like how kharn did
Khorne cares not where the abuse comes from
Man you have no idea how excited I am to listen to this
Let me know what you thought!
@@AVoxintheVoid “come you worthless shit eating sons of swine!!” Was an absolute banger! But for real, I love it. I’m sending it to my brother. Very articulate & interesting script. It holds your attention very well. You have a real talent and I’m glad you have so much content
These 40k audiobooks are metal. I’m glad I found this universe lol!
This is one of the best 40k short stories I’ve heard. Thanks!
Amen. A true son of any father like myself knows it is most important to be independent and love ones own courage and the rule of right and wrong we all feel and know to do what's right especially when I'm(father) wrong, if you truly believe in what I have taught you think for yourself. Always
This story is excellent and your narration is fantastic. Its neither over the top, nor cringe. I have no idea how you do it. Your narration tells me exactly what's going only clearly while also coloured by the correct emotion. I am immersed with Verus as he faces Angron. Be proud. For you are clearly one of the best remembrancers of the Emperors CZcams.
If there is ever a movie made on 40k, I hope you get to voice a World Eater. Talk about contagious rage.
I would be honoured to lend my rage to an official project one day!
Love the voice actors work.
Thankyou so much!
This . Was . Amazing.
Cheers Rick 💪
The last sentence was a tear maker, absolutely beautiful voice and pashion
Awesome story, makes you feel sad for the loyal WAR HOUNDS, they could have been a great fighting force.
I have to say, you guys always find a cool new angle to tell a story in the 40k universe. It makes my mind wonder about all the possibilities of further stories.
Hurray for new content!
Hope to see you for the premiere!
Fuck what a story. The dialogue makes Angron so much more interesting.
This is awesome, I've always found the betrayal of Istvann III really overlooked compared to V. Plus I really liked the thought that not all the traitor legions turned and willing to betray the Imperium.
I love it, but I can't help but just think this. Every World Eater is just an Ultra Chad who want daddy's love, but instead get his belt
He cuts the link and I know I will never speak to him again...dude the way you voice this shit is amazing...the way you lead it to the climax is just perfection 👌 So full of fkn sadness/emotion lmao I've been listening over and over to each of these videos at work and its just great. None of it gets old. Ya miss things sometimes and its almost a whole new story when you find it lol
That ending 😭😤😤😩
wow what an amazing rendition of this story. incredible narration! good work
Great work! This has convinced me to paint a few World Eaters in their loyalist color schemes.
Literally the best media I have consumed on Warhammer. I use this to intro some of my friends to the setting, and I cant say how many times I've listened to it now.
Man, same. One of the best 40k stories I've ever heard
Still slaps. Thank you for this masterpiece for my favorite legion. Ive used it to bring many into the universe/hobby.
Masterful narration. Excellent story. Would love to listen to more Space Marines stories of the HHeresy betrayals.
This was pure and raw, as it should be! I still feel my vains pumping blood in anger. Fantastic work
The last part of the video with Angron is PEAK 25:34. I come back every once in a while just to listen to how good it is. I love it!!!
Bro your hardcore. You nailed this one to the ground. Thank ya
