Welcome, everyone, to another episode of The Adeptus Ridiculous. My name is D.K. And through The Adeptus Ridiculous, I've slowly been learning more and more. And I think I can safely say I know a little bit about Warhammer 40K. Now, thanks to Bricky, who has been sort of guiding us through the twists and turns of all the ridiculousness of Warhammer.

Also, Bricky, before I throw it over to you, do you realize that we are less than $5 away from hitting the $9,000 goal and you having to do an Alpha Legion episode? Fuck. I was hoping for that kind of reaction.

So, you know, I'm just letting you know you got to prepare for an Alfa Legion episode because it is 100% going to happen. Okay, I'm going to get ready. Good luck. You want to tell everybody about the book club and the merch now, now that I've dropped that bombshell on you. Yeah, book club. The book for the next month, early

July, will be Gaunt's Ghost, the first installment, the first and only. You do not need to read all nine. Just the first book. It's Gonsk Ghost. It's amazing. Definitely read it. The new minis are actually on pre-order right now if you want to grab them as well. The rules actually look pretty good, unlike most of Guard.

And, yeah, I know. It hurts. Yikes. And also, if you want to check out any merchandise, Orchidate.com, or check out the link in the description. We've got shirts, hoodies, and Doge Van Dyer stickers. Today, we're doing a wonderful World Deers episode, but I want to preface this by saying we're doing it a little different. So for a while, we've done a Legion slash chapter episode.

And it's mainly been about the prime mark because that's kind of the way the chapter goes. Yeah. But instead, those generally end up being like an hour and a half really long. So what we're going to do instead is today we're going to talk about the world eaters. And Angron. And then we'll talk, we'll do this. This one's on Angron. Today, this week, Angron.

And then next week, we'll be on World Eaters. I'll have some additional stuff. We'll talk more about some of the World Ears characters, what they're up to nowadays, a little bit more about their traditions, that kind of stuff. And we might actually, like, retroactively do some more on the prior legions. Perhaps we'll talk a little bit more about, like, the night lords, like the Ultramarines, in a more basic sense after we get this stuff dumb. But I need to finish reading The Night Lord's Omnibus before I can get that going.

Oh, I'm looking forward to more supplementary info on the Night Lords because that was a great episode. Love the Night Lords, love Kerr's. But really looking forward to Angron and-Gron. Angron. Yeah, Angron. 40K's not-so-s subtle naming scheme. 40K and the Curious K.

of the not so subtle name. I wonder if Angron's angry, right? Angron, Angron, the curious case of subtlety. What is it? So, might as well just get jumping into this because Angron like Curse. I was like, ah, it's this big angry man, corn, above the blood god,

and then I read him and I'm like, wow, this is sad. This is, this is sad. And then I kind of felt bad because I always, I think I, I think me before this podcast, And before I had to do a lot more looking up stuff research. I was very much like an imperial where I kind of only knew what imperials would know.

So I was like, Angron. Yeah, it's that idiot who's always angry and stuck nails in his brain and make himself angrier. That's not quite the case. It's a different. From what little I know about like Warhammer, whenever Angron comes up, there's always like, oh, angry, me angry, me spike in pale head. But then there's always like these comments For like yo maybe don't make fun of him so much Because it's actually like super hardcore depressing

Why he does that and why he's so angry And it's actually a lot more complex So Ooh I I am I won't know more Well I don't want people I don't want people to gate keep Angron's feelings

Because that's That's pretty A low low you can hit But there is definitely interesting So Emperor Mount Everest or Himalayan Mounds, whatever, tubes, Zinche or whoever, flying out of the galaxy. Angron landed on a, quote, civilized world far, far away in the galaxy called Nusaria.

And Nusiria was technologically advanced, actually decently, but was ruled over by a very wealthy elite in palaces and villas with slums and favelas. all around past them. You ever seen that famous picture of Brazil where it's like a gorgeous like a co-teller or like skyscraper and then it just cuts right next to and just straight up slums? Yeah, and it's just like all these like

they're basically living in like trash heaps and they're just these stilted high. Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah. So it's basically like that. And the oligarchic rulers used consistent regular gladiatorial death matches in these huge arenas to distract the lower class from their poverty. So it was one of those like with a big wealthy elite used gladiator arenas to make the impoverished

less angry. And a slaver was the first to find Angron way up in this mountain. And Angron was bloody and battered surrounded by alien corpses high up on the mountain. And, Imperial record doesn't really know what species they are. Some think it was Eldar, who were trying to kill the Primark, because they foretold what he would become. Which I got to be honest, I don't like Eldar a whole lot, but having them all get fucked by an infant sounds like a little bit of a disservice to the Eldar. A little bit.

Oh, that's true, because he'd be an infant at this point, right? He'd be very young. He'd be grown, little infants just dunking on Eldard. Yeah, so maybe not Eldar Maybe they were like Maybe they sent like three civilian Eldar Like hey just strangled the kid in his crib I don't know

Either way Angram was super wound him But he alive And he was taken by as a slave By the planet's ruling masters They're called the High Riders Which I mean yeah that's cool And he was brought to a palace At the most powerful city state

And he was sold as a slave To the ruling clan of House Thalkir Now he was still a frightened young child at this point and the first thing they did with him is it took him and 99 other guys and he was going Fortnite Battle Royale gonna get down Angron wiped out Tomato Town

and they fucking threw him into a pit and then they started pouring acid into the pit Oh! As if the deathmatch wasn't enough No, here's acid, you know you gotta raise the stakes go kill your fellow friends and so you know chug jug jug here fucking Fortnite dab there Rick Sanchez in Fortnite

Angron was the final one to live and still on a big plan I hate that those were all actual Fortnite references like Just you wait DK. They have Rick Sanchez in Fortnite wait till they partner with GW Wait until we have Ultramarine in in Fortnite

It will happen That would be kind of cool though Like Rick Sanchez Rick Sanchez in Fortnite is like Oh my God I didn't think I could cringe harder at Fortnite and then they fucking but at least an ultramarine is like it's a warrior he's a big guy and

you know dunking on an ultramarine from like a 12 year old dunking on an ultramarine sounds like the funniest shit ever to me so let's go I'm about that life I want to make it more dark make it like a fucking dark Eldar arcon in Fortnite or like a succubist in Fortnite just like a slave

just slave I want to play as far as it's Fortnite slave I want to play as Drucari Slave, Dad. Give me $20 for my V-bucks. Ooh, Drucari slave. Yuck. Anyway, Angron got the Victory Royale, and he got number one, of course. He survived by standing on a little pillar with the acid and killing everyone else.

So, he was brought to the most popular arena in the entire capital. He was given the name Angron Thalkir, which means Child of the Mountain. Um, which, you know, he was found in a mountain. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. You get it, you understand. Yeah. Um, so Angren grew big.

Yeah. After our Fortnite conversations. Um, so anyway, he grew up. He grew up. He grew big, of course. He was forced to take part in the gladiatorial games all the time. He was a huge fan favorites. He was known as the Lord of the Red Sands. Also because he would actually like spare those that fought really well

He was known as the unbeaten as well However during this period time of him being like this god tier fighter He resented his slavery heavily he tried to escape constantly He was like always I also had a dog I think Oh yeah I think Shipe posted a picture of him there he is Oh he doesn't he does have a dog doesn't he? Yeah He's a crazy ass

He's a crazy fucking gladiator man Even his dog is angry Look at that dog He's pissed Even the dog is that's little Angron, little Ang Little Angi Little Angi

We gotta have a whole story about Angron Being like the most angry son of a bitch And then like whatever his dog comes by He's like Are you angry little ang And the dog's like woof He's like me too

I love it I love it Print it's So at this time, though, like, was he angry, I guess, but he was angry at his confines. Just, he was constantly trying to escape his, his, um, uh, slavery, right? Eventually, he grew this huge bond with an older gladiator known as on, oenomis, oonimus. You can tell there's definitely a lot of, like, old Rome, a little bit of that, like, a little bit of, uh, the old gladiatorial thing. Yeah, Roman gladiatorial combat.

I mean, ultramarines are like, yeah, ultramarines are like the Rome people, obviously, but this is like a different variant, I guess. But he was another gladiator. He grew kind of a bond with this oonymous guy. And he eventually became kind of like a father figure to him. And they fought together. And they killed many gladiators together, two of them, including two berserk ogren that had these implants in their head, known as the butcher's nails, which will, who, we'll talk about the butcher guys. Those will come up again, eh?

Eventually, because they just thought it was such a good fucking time, the higher-ups forced the two of them to fight each other. And they did. Angron was like, no. And then he flat out insulted them in front of the crowd. He was like, you, you livid ass, you stupid fucking, little Ang, tell them, that's what I thought too. So this is really turning into Gladiator.

Like with a A little bit I'm the best gladiator I'm not gonna do what you want Fuck you Thumbs down me all you want I'll do my own shit There's a lot of gladiator

Gladiator slave Fighting Hates the hierarchy Yeah it's a lot of gladiator in this Yeah I mean it's okay it's a good movie But you know subtlety

Um However Because he refused He was forced to actually get The butcher nails Into his head his punishment. Now, the butcher nails.

Oh, that's how he gets them. Yeah. That sucks. So the butcher nails, these are from the dark age technology. These are old, old tech. And they're cordal implants that are dug deep into the fucking head of the person. And they boost adrenaline, increasing strength and aggression in battle. But they also remove the warrior's mind of all reasons.

caution and morality. They literally reward rage with electrochemical pleasure and they deaden the enjoyment of anything else besides rage. You become super angry and it'll like get your brain electrose. Electroize.

What the fuck? It gets all those pleasure receptors going. Yeah. Words. Words. That's energized Like a fucked up tool Yeah that doesn't sound happy fun times

Yeah and with them in his head He was sent immediately against his father figure And just like ripped him into pieces And when he regained his senses He saw what he was done What he did And he was thrown into a depression That apparently

And this is fucking silly to me But they said he unleashed a howl That lasted for several days which I don't know if a man could scream for multiple days but he was still pretty fucking sad like you can you can say that he got sad without being like yeah he howled for an entire no he didn't

I don't believe that but point being he's really sad oh yeah super depresso absolutely so after that this is when he went for like full on a rebellion another escape attempt that he tried and failed Which reminds me You're probably wondering how the hell is he keep failing these escape attempts when he's fucking anger on

It's because the higher-ups They're not like this isn't like a super backwater gladiator war like they have guns They have they have armies they have tanks Like this isn't just backwater gladiator stuff this they have a military force Yeah Especially the higher ups too because it's it's important And it's super high class. So I assume they would have some pretty choice defenses to stop rebellions.

Like the lower class from rebelling. They've got, yeah, I can see that. You feel it. Now, during this whole last big rebellion thing, he recommended the largest gladiator pit fight of all time, like thousands of people. And he actually conspired with all the other gladiators. all the other slaves, as they kind of all saw him as like the best of them,

to all kind of revolt together. Now, in that giant, you know, fight when the fight began, they all turned on the guards and lost a ton of people due to firearms, but they were able to actually overwhelm the guards and escape with about 2,000 gladiators, stealing weapons and pouring into the streets.

Yeah. Now, over the next few years, the rulers sent, many armed forces to capture all the different gladiators who began calling themselves the eater of cities. However, often, often they were all beaten by Angron and his, you know, military prowess. However, combination of like attrition and hunger started to really take their toll. And with time, only about maybe a thousand men and women were still alive at this point. Just due to like attrition and stuff. And at this point...

How many people did you say were in the, in the fight that like overturned? Was it 10,000? It was, it was a lot. Thousands, maybe 10,000. All I know is that 2,000 escaped. And there's 1,000 left. And at this point, during this period of time, Angron was chilling, doing whatever he was doing, planning or whatever. And then a man known as Big E was staring.

He was in his ship looking at. down to the whole of what's going on. He was really impressed. He was like, wow, I like it. When you fight back against, against, you know, good old oppression. I like that you're fighting for yourself. This is great.

So Biggie teleported down with a big, you know, legion of custodies and was like, eh, Ang, oh, wait, no, that's the wrong one. Angron. That's not the world. Wrong accent.

They're not the word bears. They're not Italian. He teleported down and he was like, Ingram, good job, man. I'm proud of you. Hey, check this out. There's a whole contingent of space marines. All for you.

You can get the 12th Space Marine Legion, the war hounds. And Engron was like, no. Oh, he turned down, Biggie? He literally refused outright. He said that he would rather die with his slave fellow slaves than desert them He flat out refused He's a good boy. What a good boy What a good boy

He's like the little aangh These are like these are my my friends these are the people I've been with for years like these are these are these are my people I am I will not desert them I refuse and he and he And Emperor was like, what the hell? And then the emperor left. He's like, shit, okay? And so he went back to his ship.

It's just like flabbergasted, dumbfounded. What the hell he actually refused me? What? Who refuses Biggie? Like, I figured once he was like, oh, yeah, fuck you, Biggie. Biggie would do some sort of thing. Or he would be like, oh, yeah, well, fuck it.

I just killed all your people. Now you've got nobody to stay here with. So you're coming with me, bitch. Damn, he just, he just left. He's just, okay, fine. Stay here and die. Yeah, fine, whatever. It's not like I wanted you or anything.

Shut, shut up. Shut up, you. So, at the end of the, as he left, and as the years went by, the last thousand of them were on, I think, I think it, maybe, it's not of the mountain that he, landed on or a different mountain. But they were all making their way up the mountain kind of being held back by

about like seven separate Nusarian armies. Like completely outnumbered, completely outgunned. And this was going to be where they make their final stand. Like this is, this is the end, right? Yeah. And what happened

is that then out of nowhere, Angron just disappeared. Oh, just, did he just Houdini did it? And the, because the emperor forcefully teleport him onto his ship. Oh, no! And completely leaderless, Engron watched from orbit as all 1,000 of his gladiators were overrun and murdered by the armies and completely destroyed. They all died.

Every single one of them. What about Ang? Did Ang make it out? I don't know if Ang made it. it out. Oh no. Little, A little egg didn't make it out. No, the worst

timeline. Oh, God, if he wasn't angry before, boy, he's got to be stark raving pissed now. He, well, in fact, he was so fucking angry that he immediately turned to the closest custodian and

proceed to beat him to death. Oh, which is impressive. That's a custodian. The custodies. Holy shit. That's some anger. He is fucking mad.

And the only way he was put into submission was through the Emperor's psychic abilities. And, and, um, Angron was like, you had a teleporter. Why didn't you save them? Like, you could have saved them all. And Emperor said that he had bigger, grander plans for mankind and a group of random slaves on a backwater world is not important enough. Oh, what? He's like, holy shit, dad, you fucking...

Why are you such a bad dad? Like, I... Oh, my God. Because I got to imagine if he was like, oh, yeah, I'm going to save all of them. I'm going to teleport Angron and all of his people up here. You're all saved. You're now going to form your own new chapter with all of your friends. and it's going to be great.

Maybe then he doesn't, you know, turn to chaos? Maybe. You know, maybe, maybe don't, like, reprimand your Batman character for doing what you told him to do. Maybe don't kill the father of your stinky man, just to make a point. Maybe not let your son's closest friends

all get murdered in front of his eyes and be like, eh, they weren't important. And fine. I didn't save him because they're fucking worthless. Oh, were they important to you? Nah, don't worry about it. They're fucking trash. Oh, you're so bad at this big e.

Angron was literally like what you've done, Emperor, what you've done, you now are only going to have like a ghost of a son. And Empress said a ghost would suffice. Oh. So now this. So Angron, Angron obviously took control of the Warhounds. Legion, the Twelfth.

12th Legion. However, when I say take control, oh no, oh no. He was a rage-filled, bitter person. Every time a member of the Warhounds went to his chamber to ask him something, he beat them to death. Oh! Every single time, until one man named Captain Karn, and you'll be hearing Karn a bit soon, of the Eighth Assault Company was really fucking. tired of Angron beating everyone who talked to him to death. So he

went into, he, like, I'm going to meet my Primark, and he went into the chambers, and he was immediately beaten by Angron. Oh, of course. But he was able to resist it for quite a bit. And actually,

he put up a good fight, and that made Angron see his Legion as not quite as terrible as he thought they would be. They're not buggy. that he needs to squash. They grew a bit of rapport with each other, even though their first moments together

was Angron beating the living shit out of him. But he was like, okay, maybe my Legion isn't entirely worthless. So they started to grow a bit of rapport with each other, talked about traditions and gladiator stuff. And he eventually then, okay, finally took over the Warhound Legion. However, he renamed them to the World Eaters

as one, he is no how. hound dog of the emperor. And two, the gladiators back in the day were known as the eater of cities. Remember? Yep, yep. As soon as you said they were called the city, the eater of cities, I was like,

oh, is that how he gets the name World End is that? Okay. And I can totally see how he would hate the name Warhound because fuck the emperor, right? Fuck the emperor, fuck the Imperium, fuck everything they stand for. Yeah, I get that. That makes sense. The, uh, it's quote time,

D-K. Oh, let's go. Let's get a good quote. Let's hear it. So this is from Karn, who's also now known as Karn the Betrayer, but we'll discuss that later. The emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The world leaders were not that weapon. We've all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we've all felt the exultation of rooting a war that never even needed to happen.

We are not the tame, reliable pets that the emperor want him. The wolves obey when we would not. The wolves can be trusted when we never could. They have a discipline we lack because their passions are not aflame with the butcher's nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The wolves will always come to heal when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the emperor obeying his every whim,

but a wolf doesn't behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the eaters of worlds and the warhounds no longer. And you say, you say, you say these guys turn to chaos, eh? You say, just a little. You say these guys don't follow the emperor, eh? Is that what you? Then going to chaos is the least surprising thing of all, even if it's still sad.

Yeah, it's like, oh, traitor legions are happening, so we've already lost the world eaters, right? Yeah, okay. People are going traitor. Okay, so we've lost the World Eaters. We don't have any confirmation. I'm just going to go ahead, assume. Yeah, just give a shot. Yeah.

So when the Ingramon brought a door, Abora, he was put to sleep by that guy, Makador. Or Makador? So Malcador, they put him to sleep with his psychic power because Malcador is like a ridiculous psycher. And they decided to check out his butcher's nails because they were like, the hell. And they found that they were not.

properly used for a primark, as obviously being a primark a little different than being a regular Astardis. They created things like emotional instability, but removing them, they were so coiled into his brain and so deeply fed him that removing them would kill him. And it slowly also damaged the subject's ability to reason. The nails would slowly kill Angram,

and you would probably die before the Great Crusade even ended. like no no longer was Angron having any pleasure and anything that wasn't the sensation of anger everything caused him pain like talking caused anger on pain thinking

walking eating caused sleeping caused anger on physical pain oh wow that's so fucked up that's not a great life to live no I mean you know living 40K and great in general

but this is a particularly bad life. This is the worst timeline. Yeah, it is. Like, no, he already had a fucked up life, but now literally everything causes him pain except rage. Like, it wasn't bad enough that he had to watch all of his people die and be forced into essentially more slavery with the emperor, but now literally everything he does is pain.

Great. Jesus. And the emperor in all of his wisdom went to Makador and said, you keep this between us. Don't tell anybody. Don't tell Angron. Don't tell the day he's dying. He'll be dead before the Great Crusade ends, but that's fine because Angron's a liability.

Whatever, man. Oh. What? Yep. Biggie is such a piece of shit. I know. Look, this is why I, when I start the tabletop,

I am playing chaos because fuck the corpse emperor, man. That guy's a douche. That guy's a douche. That guy's a fucking douche. You know, some guy's saying like you're from Pittsburgh. That guy's a fucking douche. Fucking douche.

Dush. No, at least not from Cleveland. Like, Cleveland. So, Angron went working on his Legion, right? He decided to go full on blood for the blood, well, not for go on full of the blood. Blood for the Blood God, but like, blood in combat was the only way to do true skill. Their training involved live fire fights, like real blades, fighting pits, gladiatorial combat. combat. These were the tests of the Astardis.

They all, he also, and this is one thing I'm not quite understanding of, and hopefully shy might maybe help explain this. And if not shy, then maybe a comment section. He actually had the Astardis under his legion, add the butcher nails to their brain as well. I'll at least attempt to put the butcher nails into their brain. But it proved quite difficult because of the old dark age technology. That's what they were. So creating a perfect construct for them was really difficult because they were already in his damn head. And every time he tried to put the butcher nails into one of his

Astardis, it has a hundred percent mortality rate. Every single time they tried a different variant it would kill the subject. Shai, do you know why he put them in their head? Like, he really hates them in his head. I would think he wouldn't want to put him in their head.

I mean, I get the idea of making them better at combat, but I feel like he would kind of be, I don't like, would he not want to He wouldn't want to give them the same torture. Unless he hates his legions. I was going to say, it seems like he doesn't really like his, like, maybe he respects them a little bit. But he kind of hates them, so he's like, you're going to suffer the way I suffer, because you're mine, and I hate you.

Fuck Biggie. He's the douche. I thought maybe, but at the same time, like, I think the only Primark that truly, truly hated their Legion was Curse. I don't think Angron hated everyone well okay maybe he hates everyone because he's Angron but like not particularly

there we go as far as I heard they wanted to get butcher nails in their heads too because he was their dad they figured the only way to understand except their fucked up dad would become as fucked up as he was

that sounds like a loyal Starty's thing to do that sounds like a loyal yeah loyal to the prime mark I believe that that's quite the twist actually Because, I mean, it started off with like, yeah, I'm just going to beat all of your fucking death because fuck you and fuck the emperor. But damn, that it turned around to the point where they're like, yeah, we want to understand you, pops.

Put the brain spike in my head, even though it's... But in my head. But I want a brain spike too, damn. Wow, Karn. How come Dadless you have two brain spikes? I want two brain spikes too. Okay. No more.

No, he's dead. Shit. Apothecary, get a better one. So, after trying to put brain spikes in it and not working, it became the Great Crusade, of course. Angron refused to acknowledge most of his sons, since none of them were even strong enough to survive the Butcher Nails Implantation. One time, and I fucking love this, one time, he simply abandoned them.

He hijacked a frigate and left. He just left. He went for the mills. Guys, I'll be right back. You keep fighting. You're doing great. Dad's got to go get some cigarettes. Be right back. It's like, Dad still hasn't come back and all of us are almost dead. He was gone for two years. Oh.

They found him on a backwater world living like a savage, hoping that someone would come and put him out of his misery and kill him. Whoa. Jesus. had mega depression. I don't know if he was as depressed as Curse was, but he had some serious depression. So while he was on this backwater planet,

was he doing a lot of combat and raging? Because if he wasn't, his life was probably miserable. If he was just like slumming it up in like a jungle, then he was just literally living a life of pain and suffering because he had nothing to rage and kill. He was probably maybe killing the animals or something. I don't really know what he was doing there, but he just wanted something to kill him.

the person who found him, however, was that man Karn and he chastised him. He was like, imagine your old gladiator friends. Imagine if they had seen him in the state that you're in right now. Imagine if like the last surviving slave was widening in a hole hoping for death. And like, you know, I mean, that spurred Angron to go back to his Legion,

but, you know, Angron was still not pleased with that. But it did get. get him back to normal. I was going to say, if you want to piss off Angram, that sounds like a great way to do it. It's a very good way. Yeah, very good. Angron became known as the red angel.

He hated the title. He despised it because there was already an angel. His name was Sanguineas, and he loathed sanguineas. I'm sure he did. He's like the only, I think it's one of the only primarks that hated Sanguinius, because I think Sanguonius is like a great guy to everyone. Yeah, I was going to say you could. be more of a polar opposite to Angron

than Sanguinius, right? One is just rage, hate the emperor, this is all fucking stupid, I hate everyone, please everybody and me die, and Sanguineas just loves everybody, he's great to everyone. Emperor is my, Emperor's my best buddy Dan. Polar opposites these two.

He saw Sanguineas with the psychic powers and everything like that. It's kind of like a problem whereas he, for all of Angron's fault, he saw himself as his own man, you know? Now, this is a fun thing, and I'm excited. And I really am excited to talk about this thing.

So, Angram, he had a rule. In the Great Crusade, you have 31 hours a normal Nusarian day instead of 24, you know, to take over the world that you're trying to go, in the Great Crusade, to subject the world. You have 31 hours. If you do not take it in 31 hours, one out of every 10 space marines will be forced to be beaten to death by the other nine. Oh, wow. Oh, okay. Well, that's a great way to inspire everyone to move real quick and actually do what they're supposed to do because you don't want to beat that one out of nine.

No, you do not. So then we enter this situation called the Gena or Gennah Massacre. This is probably one of the best, like the biggest turning points in this situation, I think. So in the world of Gena, or Gennah, whatever, there was a group of really ill humans in a colony of like a thousand people, give a take. and they accepted Imperial rule completely peacefully. They were like really, they were like the necrons or whatever, like really cancer-riven or whatever. They accepted Imperial rule totally peacefully,

kept in alive in these little stasis pods. There's only like a thousand people there. It's a tiny little colony. However, the world went completely silent. And so Angram was sent to go find out what happened. And they found out that these people were actually being kept alive through the use of artificial intelligence.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Biggie says that's bad. Yes, he do. So Angron sent down his people to deal with the problem with the usual 31-hour mark issue. Sure. Now, this caused a certain guy named Centurion Mago, or Mego,

to make a really hasty, poorly executed landing because of that fear of the time limit. turned out that the world contained a thousand humans but billions of simulochrum humans billions of robotic forms of humans that were actually just AIs in human-looking bodies like Blade Runner style all being controlled by the thousand humans in the tanks

Oh that's a bigger uh-oh It's a big a-oh, and those billions of humans started to overwhelm them hard. Oh, I mean, that is a billion AI robot thing, simulacrum bots. That's... Good luck. So, with that, they actually got over RAM, and they were eventually able to subjugate the world, or at least make their footing with some more heavy artillery and, like, tanks that they eventually arrive with, but they didn't meet the time limit. Oh.

So the Centurion Mago was, uh, when they were ordered to kill the people, he flat out refused. Which Angron found humorous. And then until he told him instead, hey, Mago, you get to kill the first one. You're killing the first. Which he also refused. Which then Angron went fucking ballistic and killed a, like a couple dozen warriors in the room until his librarians and psychers were. were able to subjugate him to sleep, which he then didn't wake up from. Oh.

He just stayed in that sleep for a while, just... He wasn't waking up. He wasn't waking up. Well, I mean, hey, you win some, you lose some. I'm sure the rest of the Legion was... I'm sure the rest of the Legion was like, you know, it kind of sucks that our leader is not waking up, but... It's kind of a dick. Nobody's dying now.

You know, I don't have to... Yeah, 31 hours, dummy shit. So while they were figuring out what to do with their leader asleep, one of the apothecaries actually found a stable method of implanting the butcher nails by reverse engineering the technology from this genin place. And would now, to implement them into the Legion with the first person implementing them on was our good man, Karn.

When Angron finally awoke, he saw his legion with the nails in their head. And he command them to get the way back down to Gaina and finally fully take over the world. And eventually, the Mago guy led a resistance group against him. Didn't work. He died. Rest in peace.

But with the new butcher nails, it was like, it was like chump change. Killing through these robot humans was extremely easy. They were just slaughtering them. To the point where it was so incredibly harsh that they they the the astrophats across the sector felt the sheer volume of death Wow Which is a little weird to me because I thought that they like had just robots, but yeah, you wouldn't think a psych would feel a robot dying Yeah, I may have read that wrong, but point being lots of death lots of and it was super easy now Yeah, super easy and then eventually

Karn made his way inside the actual thousand person chamber in which they all got out of their tanks and were pleading for their life and Karn was like, lull, said Karn the betrayer. Lamau who then immediately slaughtered every single one of them single-handedly.

La Mow, Poggers, play of the game goes to Karn for massive bloodshed and no mercy. Good job. Jesus. So the massacre on Gaina, the

Emperor not a not pleased He was like wow subjugate the world don't kill all of them And so he was like hey hey leeman Russ go deal with him And I was like and I was like we've heard this one before We sure have this motherfucker Fucking leaving Russ We fucking leon russ fucking woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo Oh man it reminds me of little ang

Now I'm sad. Oh, poor little thing. So basically, Russ arrived on Gaina, and they kind of just met on in like a field just together. And, you know, very classic thing. And Lehman Russ was like, hey, you are to stop putting nails in people and take them out and stop killing humans. And Angron was like, no, Lamow.

Yeah, I'm sure that went over real well. You know, I was totally expecting to just be like, Oh, sure. My bad. Yeah, right. Okay. So they fought each other, obviously. It was kind of a stalemate. Apparently, both sides record that they won, but both sides believe they secretly lost. Kind of weird. That's a hell of a fight. Jesus.

It's like that one submarine battle way back when, I forget what it was called, but it was like both submarines thought the other one had died and they left. Oh. That was like some, like World War II or one. what's something like that, but it is a silly little story. Um, geez. Anyway, the heresy comes. Angron joined joyfully. Stoked.

Like, hell yeah, man. Ab so fucking looting. There's any other option besides the Imperia and Big Ems, and I can destroy his people and I can hopefully overthrow him. Sign on the dotted line. Like that's... No problem. problems needed. Easiest choice I've ever made.

So with him joining the heresy, we all know what's going on, Horace, all this kind of thing. Oh, hey, Chai gave me a quote. Hey. You kept that mule, Corferon. Russ kept his kin friends. The lion kept Luther, humans, brothers, and foster fathers, saved and raised into Legion rants. But not me. Not Angron.

No. Did the emperor teleport his gold-wrapped custodians down to help me in my army? No. Did he free the war hounds in order them to battle? Fight alongside me? No. Did he save my brothers and sisters the way he spared and honored the lion's closest kin? The way he honored Corferon?

No, no, and no. No mercy for Angron. Angron the Oathbreaker. Angron the Betrayer. And he's fucking right. Yeah. I mean, you can't really argue with him. Biggie.

was a fucking idiot that's mm-hmm yeah so a reminder do you remember in the Gilliman episode the Ultramarine episode

they had that big battle with the word bears and the Fedora Lex chip you remember that right did you see the edit of the ship

actually being fedora I did see the Fedora Lex it was fucking great the best so it was found out

of course that was the health crusade. And obviously it was found that the nails were killing Angron at a faster rate than preferred. So Lorgar recommended they actually returned to Nisaria where the gladiatorial owners were and learn more about how they functioned by the masters who put it in his damn head. Makes sense.

So Lorgar promised to Angram they would learn all they could and then they would burn the planet to ash because of course that's what Angram wants. Sure. So when they landed there, the first place that Angron went was to the mountaintop where his gladiars made their last stand. And all he found were bones, exposed to the elements of a thousand people and Little Ang. Oh no. All there with like some with bullet holes in the heads and just like skulls exposed to the elements. And that right there was too much for Angron.

to bear. Like, I think he, like, broke down, sobbing. I don't quite remember exactly what he did, but it was, he was fucking sad. I can imagine those were his people. If he loved anyone, it would have been them. They were slaves, his friends. Those who he was raised with, who he fought in bloody combat with. And I imagine that would be a bit much to deal with.

Yeah. So he went to the palace, and he learned the tale of his defense that was told to the city afterwards was that he that Angron fled as a coward with his tail between his legs and left the rest of his gladiators to die. Now, this was not a nice

revelation to Angeron. Nope. I imagine that was the worst. It was in fact so bad that he killed everyone in the room and then he told his Legion to kill everyone in the city and when they were done with that kill everyone on the planet.

And this is when the ultramarines arrived, of course, as you remember from our little previous, previous story, blah. Okay, so that was when they arrived. Then they had their big fight. Remember, Gilliman was fighting Lorgar, and then Angron, Kool-Aid man through the wall,

and he's like, wow. That's actually an orc thing. He was like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yep. And as they were fighting, there was a fact that was omitted in the Gilliman episode. When they were attacking each other,

Gilliman got a good punch on Angeron's chest plate, right? And it actually knocked a skull that was hanging from his armor off of his plate. And Gilliman, you know, the skull rolled towards Gilliman, who then crushed it underneath his foot because, you know, Gilman's finding him. And it was one of the skulls of the gladiators. Oh, no. One of his best friends.

He took some of the bones and stuff from his best friends and put it on his armor. as to like, you know, symbolize and like that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah. And Gilliman was just like crunch. And that set Angron into a bit. No kidding. You don't say.

Please tell me more. So, yeah, he started going mad. He was whacking at Gilliman, go and going, going. But of course, we remember this one. Butcher nails were killing him. He's getting a problem. Yeah. This is right.

This is exactly when Lorgar, does his like, moabar, unlaw, I was bullshit, and then rains marineros, and then he turns into a demon. And this is when he did.

A big demon. A big fucking demon. This is when he turns into the demon primark. Now, obviously Gillum and fled. We've been over all this thing. Past this, Nusaria did die as Angron

had hoped every living soul on Nusaria has been killed. And Ingron, in his new demon Primark form returned to the ship and immediately slaughtered every librarian in his army

which are the psychers. Yeah. And this was the last point because Lorgar was kind of offering Angron and stuff to the wills of corn anyway during that homina homina obviously because he turned into a corn demon. But corn saw

Angron kill the last cyker in the entire goddamn army. And Corn was like, yeah, yay, encore, let's go. I hate cykers, fuck Zich, woo! It's true, I probably would make corn very happy, wouldn't it? He was stoked, and so that was basically the point where they fully fell into corn. That's the full point when they went straight, full-on corn demon.

Now they're fully Trader Legion, fully chaos, fully under Corn's reign. They literally had, Angron literally went to Carn and said, slaughter the lower decks of slaves and bring their skulls to me and build me a throne of skulls on my ship. Wow, that's hardcore. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Oh, boy. I'm sure he, I'm sure they actually did too. Like, I'm sure that wasn't just metaphorical.

Like, he probably does legitimately have a skull of thrones on that ship, doesn't he? Skulls for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne. Fair, fair. They don't say that for kicks. They don't. So our last bit to talk about was the Siege of Terra. Now the Royal Learly's got fully cored right now. Angron wanted to be first in on the palace, first guy.

But the Emperor's psychic defenses made it really rough and would probably kill him. But he didn't really give a ship. And Horace and Stem chose the death guard to be first in. And Angron was like, ooh! And then he started murdering everyone in sight on his ship. Oh, okay. I mean, I guess I can't feel too sorry for him because they're all chaos anyways.

Who fucking cares if they get murdered, right? Yeah, he doesn't give a shit. Yeah, okay. Now, during this period of time, we have newly favoreded best girl. Now, we're going to talk, okay, Latara Serene or Seren, Captain Latara Seren or whatever.

She, all right, all right, listen, D.K. We're going to talk a lot more about her next week, okay? Okay, okay. There is a, I have never seen a woman walk with fucking nuts of tungsten, with ovaries of pure titanium like this before. Let me make this clear. She, she a mortal human, was the captain of the flagship of the world eaters. Whoa.

She was the captain. And she's just a mortal human woman. There's no psycher powers She doesn't have Does she at least have some power armor or something? Nothing She is there she is in that picture Right there bottom right

Oh Latara Saren That's all And she is arguably one of the most ruthless World Eater characters out there We'll talk more about her next episode Don't you fucking worry All right

Don't you fucking worry But point being, since she was the captain of the ship of the conqueror, she was like, well, Angron's not doing his thing again. But she might kill the tech priest that handle the ship's reactor? Okay, I'm going to, and then she conspire with this night lord captain and sent Karn to go deal with Angron. And then Karn got his ass kicked. But he slapped a teleport home or onto Angron's chest and they teleported him away. And they teleported him into that man. that was built by Perchirabo that Conrad Kerr used to break Vulcan and torture him.

Right, right, right, right, right, yeah. They teleported him in there to just lose his mind in for a while until the actual psychic defense barrier on Terra was down. And then they literally opened the airlock and yeeded him from the ship into the deep space onto Earth. And he came down like a meteor and he landed on the ground like a feast. They were like, go, Angron, get him. him. He's fucking airlocked.

Yeah, they just sucked him out of the airlock and he was like when they fucking landed like a meteor on the surface. No, no like, no jetpack, no fucking periscite. He just like, here I come. Jesus, crazy. When you said they put him in Percharabos' maze, the first thing that came into my head was all I could picture was like that juggernaut.

in the X-Men movie where he's just plowing through walls and just I'm the juggernaut bitch That's like all I can imagine him doing He's plowing through every wall Just hoping to get to the exit Like not even caring about strategy Which way have I gone? He's just fucking barreling through every ball he sees

That seems like the Angron way To get through a maze It's the Angron way So So this is where I'm probably gonna end the episode Obviously they lost Obviously, they had to bail. We all know this.

This is all where they had to leave. It didn't go well for them. It did not. But Angron and all the World Eaters post heresy will be something that I want to talk about in the World Eaters episode. So I'm ending it at a bit of a cliffhanger. We're going to talk more about Carn.

Next episode, we're going to talk more about Latara Sarin. Oh, yeah, we are. Shy get to work on that poster. Oh, are we going to have another wife? poster that everybody can print out and and okay never mind I won't wait a day agron DK I

I'm it's it's a lot more complicated than I thought right because like whenever someone says anger I'm just like oh he's angry there's a butcher nail that's making him more angry whatever he's chaos cool cool cool but like man what a fucked up life he had

like pre-spike and then post-spy And then the emperor just totally fucking him over. I do like Angron, though. And he is a lot more complex than I thought he was going to be. I thought it was just going to be an angry boy that enjoyed murder. And it is so much more complicated than that. It really, it really is.

And it makes, I think it might be the one primark that makes me hate the emperor the most. Yeah. Because, like, he makes a good point. He could have teleported. his fucking custodians down there and helped them. He could have done he could have teleport them all up. He could he could have done so much

and he just chose against it. Yeah, there were so many things he could have done to stop this and just make Angron like him. He like yes, that's the thing is you know, there's an old quote, I forget what, I think it was from House of Cars, the TV

show with Kevin Spacey, which isn't which isn't great for me to quote Kevin Spacey anymore, but the quote was good. And he was making a call to some guy And his his quote was like It's an inconvenience for me But means the world to him Yep

And I'm just like Emps you could have sent down A couple custodies Even just yourself And you would have fought for maybe a day At max Max not even that probably For emps

You probably wouldn't even taking him a day And you would have had the full support Of your son and this all would have made me not happen, but you just, you couldn't be fucked to do it. You couldn't be fucking bothered. You know, as much, as much. And that's the story of the M's with most of,

most of his kids turn into chaos is like, you could have stopped that, you know. Like if you weren't such a petulant man child, you could have stopped that. Right. It's honestly, it's honestly something that I find myself enjoying the chaos primarks more. because I think their stories are always generally tragic or sad or have depth.

And it's like that's just so much, that's so interesting. I mean, Gilman's story is good because of his resurrection, as opposed to his actual story story. But like, I need to read up on Dorn and stuff and more, but the other ones don't feel- Reading with Dorn? You can't read, remember. I forgot, he's illiterate, you're right, I forgot.

Oh! Anyway, all right, now I'll take us home. Now you can take his home. All right, thank you everyone for watching this episode. That's ridiculous. Mine has been brick. You can find me Bricky everywhere. Also, we might have a new merch ready for next week. A brand new merch.

Let's go. Let's go, brother. DK. What can they find you, brother? Oh, yeah. DKDMUDDMUG is everywhere, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube. We don't talk about Instagram because... Razzle, fuzzle. Yeah.

D.K. Diamante's everywhere. And you can find Shy at Quite Shy, Quite Shy, Quite Shallow. It's behind what she feels like. We'll see you next week for more World Eaters and for tungsten ovaries, Latara Serrin.
