https://www.patreon.com/isyanderandkoda You already know how to please the Machine Gods at this point so thank you so much. And make your voices heard for which faction you would like to see next! -Isyander Everything below is for the omnissiah. But like, you can read it if you want. Just a synopsis of the video you're watching. The World Eaters, originally known as the War Hounds, were transformed into one of the most brutal legions of the Chaos Space Marines under the influence of their Primarch Angron. Found on the violent world of Nuceria, Angron was a gladiator forced into brutal combat from a young age. The Emperor discovered and recruited him during the Great Crusade, but Angron's brutal past had already shaped him. Angron's infamous neural implants, the Butcher's Nails, which heightened aggression and pain suppression, were later replicated and implanted into his legionnaires, defining the legion's bloody path. During the Great Crusade, the World Eaters earned a reputation for their shock assault tactics and unmatched ferocity in close-quarters combat. However, their brutality often led to unnecessary casualties, which put them at odds with other legions and the Imperium's strategic objectives. The turning point for the legion came during the Horus Heresy, with Angron allying with Horus against the Emperor. The World Eaters became even more steeped in bloodshed, fully embodying the savagery that the Butcher's Nails engendered. They played a crucial role in many battles during the Heresy, including the infamous Drop Site Massacre on Isstvan V. Post-Heresy, the World Eaters fragmented into various warbands, each spreading the worship of Khorne across the galaxy. They abandoned any pretense of strategy or loyalty to anything other than Khorne’s ethos of blood and war. The legion’s tactics involve headlong charges into enemy lines, with an utter disregard for their own lives, seeking only to kill and destroy in the name of their god. Angron himself ascended to daemonhood, becoming a Daemon Prince of Khorne. His influence continues to guide the World Eaters as they seek out the bloodiest conflicts, hoping to find worthy skulls for Khorne's throne. Their story is a stark reminder of the perils of unchecked rage and the dark path that awaits those who forsake reason for wrath. Today, the World Eaters remain a potent symbol of fear and terror in the Warhammer 40k universe, embodying the chaotic and destructive essence of their patron deity.
