angron

Warhammer 40K character. Primarch of the XIIth Legiones Astartes, the World Eaters.

Dropped into the world of Nuceria, Angron was captured as an infant and spent his youth as a slave in the gladiatorial pits of the planet until he and other gladiators launched a revolt that saw them tearing through cities in reckless abandon. Backed into a corner, the slaves and him would make a last stand until the Emperor came and took him away to join the Great Crusade. Hurt and resentful over the loss of his brothers and sisters, Angron went down a path of madness and destruction which saw him join the Traitor Forces in the fight against the Imperium, later joining Lorgar on a crusade against the Ultramar Sector. He'd eventually be elevated to Daemon Princehood due to the machinations of his brother, and was seen frequently among the many conflicts of the Imperium against Chaos thereafter.

During the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, Angron wielded the twin Chain_Axes Gorechild and Gorefather. Before these twin weapons, he wielded the primitive Chainaxe Widowmaker, which was broken in battle against Leman Russ during the Night of the Wolf. To replace it, Angron took up the massive axe Brazentooth, which was eventually given to the Word Bearers as a sign of their alliance.[17] For protection, Angron wore a massive suit of Power Armour designed from his Nucerian gladiatorial armor known as the Armor of Mars. Angron also wielded the Plasma Pistol Spite Furnace.[16] Upon becoming a Daemon Prince, Angron abandoned most of his mortal weaponry, taking up the Daemon Weapon known as the Black Blade.

Since his recent return to the Materium, Angron has taken up the Daemon Weapon Samni'arius and Chain_Axe Spinegrinder.[30]
