Description

The book does both immense justice, and manages to portray the world eaters in fascinating light both from inside the legion through characters such as Kossolax (My personal favorite) and outsiders such as Leidis.

It's even got the same master/slave dynamic with a CSM and their female servant, if you're into that kind of thing. For taste, the best scene in the book is a Heresy-era World Eater realising how Angron has been actively screwing over the Legion for literally millennia. Because it felt like the true point of this book was to make you understand how the nails feel and operate. Every character within this story (with the exception of one which I will speak of later) has a very interesting arc and I never wanted to skip one character’s progression in favor of another.

Knowing that this is but a prelude to what sounds like some really galaxy shaking events in Angron's Arks of Omen book does make me want to know the fates of the named survivors of this book as well. They live in a wholly different world than the rest of the Imperium and Guymer lays it all out in this book. Angron’s a tricky one – he’s one of those “force of nature” characters that you can’t really empathise with or get inside the head of, so there’s definitely a challenge there. I really wanted to explore the World Eaters from that side, to see what they’re like from his perspective, and ask why someone would want to join them.

But also the breadth of work across the Horus Heresy series, as lots of authors have written about the Primarchs in lots of different situations, and the reading I did for both books put me in a good place to continue Angron’s story.He's just rage made manifest, and the narrative makes it abundantly clear that there is no possible redemption for him. He brought a weird and unruly saga to a satisfying climax, and I wanted to see what he could in the forty-first millennium. David: All of the veterans of the Long War have degraded since their time in M31, but you’d be hard-pushed to say any have fallen as far as the World Eaters. He’s been mentioned a number of times in the background of Warhammer 40,000 as a leading figure in the World Eaters, and is probably the guy most invested in pulling the fragments of his Legion back together. The characters tended to blend together as they were almost all very similar, and I found myself losing interest as the story went on.

It’s weird too because David Guymer didn’t seem to cause these issues for me with The Court of the Blind King. David: There are three core Chaos Space Marine characters in Angron: The Red Angel , who each represent different points along the spectrum. It depicts the titular Primarch as less a character and more an elemental force and shows the impact that his presence has on his followers, which is a really effective approach. David: With Angron, and characters like him, you don’t really look at them from the inside – from their perspective.Naturally, Aaron Dembski-Bowden’s Betrayer was a big part of my preparation, being the seminal Horus Heresy World Eaters novel. It’s not so much about how perpetual anger affects Angron (because, quite frankly, he’s fine with it) but more about how other people are affected by Angron, both those who follow him, and those who oppose him. In a way, it’s strange that I’m so happy jumping on board at the end of the story rather than climbing on at the beginning with so many others.
