Placed in command of a Legion he does not want, in service to a father he cannot forgive, Angron gives an ultimatum to his children, one that will set them down a path from which they can never return…

As the Emperor travels the galaxy at the head of his Great Crusade, few events are as important as rediscovering his scattered sons, the Primarchs, and bestowing them as the masters of their Legions. United, a Legion becomes a reflection of its Primarch, both in his strengths and his flaws. For the Twelfth Legion, once the War Hounds and now the World Eaters, the line between strength and flaw is almost impossible to separate. Desperate for his acknowledgement, will the World Eaters follow their father and cast themselves in his broken image or will they resist? And will any of them ever learn who their father was truly meant to be?

Angron, So Much Pain and Hate

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2022

Great read. Gives more tragic background info of Angron ' s life upon Nuceria and of how the World Eaters gained the Nails

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

A great view into the early years of the World Eaters after they've reunited w/ Angron. {Spoiler} While I was hoping for an in depth origin story similar to the style of Perturabo's or Lorgar's Book, this does a good enough job. The eras of the book are split b/w the impending dispersal of the Butchers Nails among the Legion and the memories of Angron before the Butchers nails were hammered in, while still a slave. Granted it's not a whole lot of memories but it still underlines the tragedy of Angron's life and is witnessed, psychically, by one of his sons. There is a lot of tragedy when it comes to his Legion in general. When it comes to this book though, really it follows a World Eater Centurion questioning the path of the Nails and follows his friend, non other than Kharn. Great read, definitely worth the time!

Blood for the blood god. Sure, why not?

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2019

I am a new fan to the 40k universe, and this is my 4th book. Angron fascinates me most out of all the primarchs and although I was let down a little because this is “about” Angron and you are given a great look into his past, it is more about the World Eaters just before they take the Butcher’s Nails.

My biggest complaint (probably a dumb one for most readers who didn’t waste a huge portion of their lives getting a Ph D in English) was a few pages that look like a printer error happened. It was a device that broke the 4th wall in a boom that doesn’t do that anywhere else. I “get it” but just know when you get your copy that this is not a printing error and you shouldn’t get a replacement copy as I did before reading it. At least it’ll be easy to return.

One of the stronger Primarch books

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020

Really one of the best looks into the pre-heresy World Eaters and one of Ian St Martins best stories in general. It really portrays the World Eaters in a more believable way while still maintaining their unique insanity and shining light into arguably the most difficult Primarch to have as a father. It is also longer than most if not all of the Primarch series books outside of the anthologies.

The World Eaters just want to be loved by their father, and they follow him into to destruction. A good, sad read.

Fiercely Enjoyable

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020

As with all Primarchs novels (and arguably every 30k/40k book aeound), this masterful portrayal of Angron and his World Eaters sinks itself into your mind like the Nails Angron bears, compelling you to continue reading. Fantastic story, and well written.

On time and in good condition

Entertaining Story with a Stellar Audio Book Narrator!

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2023

This book was entertaining but felt relatively short.

I listened to the audiobook in one day. The narrator did a fantastic job with the different voices, hence the 4-stars.

The story is well-written and gives some dimension to the blood-crazed World Eaters and perhaps elicits some sympathy for Angron, as well.

Meet the World Eaters

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019

Primarch Angron, a former slave, has been found and his children are struggling to find their footing. With their primarch a captive of the torturous Butcher’s Nails, devices designed to turn brutal warriors into rage-filled monsters, the World Eaters are at a loss at how to truly become their father’s sons. Angron demands that his legion adopt the Nails, but until a way is found to install the devices without killing the marine, the World Eaters are only able to disappoint their father. In the midst of this drowning sea, the legion comes upon an enemy unlike any they’ve ever fought before. The consequences of their failure to subdue the world they’ve been sent to conquer sets off a rebellion in the ranks, but the same world may be the source of a breakthrough that solve the problems facing the legion’s use of the Nails once and for all. Angron’s legion has a blood-drenched future to look forward to, victory created from the mold of their father’s only legacy: rage.

I wasn’t sure going into this book what to expect. It was my first book from the Primarchs series, and though I’ve fallen hip-deep into the Warhammer universe, I haven’t yet read the breadth of the lore. Happily, I had no problem reading and enjoying the story, or understanding what was going on. I would suggest at least some familiarity with the basics of the universe, however.

The book was intriguing, blood and destruction and battle and death, of course, but also a lot of lore from the inside of the World Eaters legion and how they changed and adapted once their primarch, Angron, was discovered. Most of the story is seen through the viewpoint of a centurion, who earned his rank and honors when the legion was the Hounds of War, and he fears the changes that he sees rippling across the legion. Their primarch is brutal, vicious, murderous, uncaring. There seems to be no bond between him and his children. Set around a campaign to raze a world, this is a tale of a desperate struggle for the future of a legion. Most readers, I would assume, know what the future holds for the World Eaters, but the dramatic tale is a tense, enjoyable read with all the blood and brutality readers are looking for.

A copy of this book was received from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The World Eaters just want Angron to love them.

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2019

A great look into how the World Eaters truly became the waters of worlds. The book does a great job highlighting Angron as a character and clearly illustrating why his legion was willing to do anything to earn his favor. If I had a complaint I would say the final confrontation seemed a bit rushed and this is likely due to the novel being pretty short. Still a great read if you want more insight into the motivations of Angron and his legion.

Really good book... lots of fun to read... really sad though

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020

I really enjoyed reading this one but it honestly made me pretty sad... I am a huge fan of the Warhammer lore... all of it... Angron's story is just depressing... what happened to him is depressing... how he treats his legion is depressing... but the book was super well written, the story was interesting and exciting to read... I want more!

Sad book, I love angron
