Here are some of My favorite Characters, Angron Kharne, and The World Eaters:



Name: Angron

Chapter: World Eaters

DETAILS
...Angron of the World Eaters genuinely thought that he alone could save humanity from destruction...

Source: Realm


Angron was one of the super human Space Marine Primarchs created by the Emperor of mankind in an effort to battle against the tide of Chaos. From Angron's genetic material the Emperor created the World Eaters Space Marines. Angron fought innumerable campaigns alongside Horus and deeply respected his ability as a great military tactician and his sense of honour and pride as a warrior.

Angron was the first Primarch to join Horus in revolt against the Emperor, for Angron knew Horus as a brother and supported the Warmaster in demanding a new order of discipline and martial value as the only way to save mankind from destruction. Once the rebellion turned into full scale civil war Angron and the World Eaters were drawn into bloodier and bloodier conflicts. He realised too late that instead of saving the Imperium they were destroying it, but his pride prevented him withdrawing from the war and his good intentions became his downfall as he was drawn into the embrace of Chaos.

The World Eaters had always been the most savage and warlike Space Marines and Angron led them in the worship of Khorne, god of war and bloodshed. Though Angron's loyalty to the Imperium was once exemplary, Khorne appealed to his honour and martial pride more than the Emperor ever could. As a Champion of Khorne Angron led the World Eaters through some of the greatest and bloodiest battles of the Horus Heresy, including the assault on the Imperial palace. When the Heresy failed and Horus was slain, Angron and his Waorld Eaters battled halfway across the galaxy to reach the Eye of Terror and the Daemon world Khorne had prepared for them.

Khorne has wrought many changes in Angron during the Primarch's service. Angron is now a hulking, muscular giant with skin the colour of spilt blood. His face is bestial and fang filled, his eyes milky white without iris or pupil. Angron fights with a mighty Chaos blade of black glowing iron etched with runes of doom and destruction. His voice is like the roaring of a mighty storm and mortals quail at his approach...


KHARN THE BETRAYER
Khârn has dedicated his millennia-long existence to unleashing bloody carnage upon anyone and anything within reach. He is drawn by the scent of war as a hungering hound is drawn by fresh meat and it has become impossible to tally his slaying. Even in the Great Crusade when he fought in the assault companies of the Worldeaters Legion he was known to be a brilliant but unstable warrior. Indeed, the whole Worldeaters Legion was viewed as excessively bloodthirsty and dangerously over-zealous in the suppression of planets that had not even defied the Emperor's will. When the Heresy came Khârn gladly led his warriors against his brother Marines, most notoriously in the drop site massacres in the Istvaan V Campaign.

In the siege of the Imperial palace he was at the forefront of every assault. When Horus was defeated Khârn already lay dead and horribly mangled upon a mound of corpses at the walls of the inner palace. His fellow Worldeaters carried his corpse away with them as they fought their way back to their ships. Once on board they discovered that by some dark miracle Khârn still lived. Whether Khorne himself breathed life back into the Berzerker's body or whether the relentless clamour of war revived his indomitable spirit remains a mystery, but since the Heresy Khârn has survived the bloodiest battles of his age and never come so close to death again.

He is called the Betrayer because he will slay those that follow him almost as readily as those that oppose him. The Worldeaters legionaries learned that bitter lesson shortly after they reached the Eye of Terror as they fought against the Legion of the Emperor's Children for possession of a daemon world called Skalathrax.

On Skalathrax howling winds carved and recarved an endless landscape of black rock and white ice. Stark black cities of twisting towers clutched at the leaden skies like winter-struck trees. The Legions fought and the Worldeaters drove the Emperor's Children back from city after city with their bloody assaults. At the last and greatest city the Worldeaters sensed that victory was near: they needed to inflict just one more defeat on the Emperor's Children to claim the planet as their own. The battle had to be won soon, before Skalathrax's long, dark night drew in and froze victor and vanquished alike if they were not in shelter.

Flames lashed the skies and blood ran in the streets as the Worldeaters hurled themselves at the foe. Every arched door and slitted window seemed to spit fire at the berzerk warriors but they stormed onward, chain-axes biting into armour and flesh as they overran their foes. Sonic blasters swept streets clear again and again but the chosen of Khorne fought on with the strength of madmen until only a few pockets of resistance survived. There the attack was halted as darkness fell.

Khârn cursed his fellow warriors for seeking shelter while their enemies still lived. Seizing a flamer, he span around and torched the nearest buildings in a gesture of contempt. When his brother Marines tried to stop him he cut them down like corn and disappeared into the gloom, the serpent's tongue of his flamer bursts licking out again and again to consume the city. The howling winds spread the fires quickly and soon pure anarchy prevailed as the Legionaries fought each other and the fires for what shelter remained. Through the mayhem strode Khârn, slaughtering any that he found, friend or foe, the bright flames flickering from his blood-splattered armour as he wielded his shrieking chain-axe in an arc of whirling death.

After that night of madness the Worldeaters were scattered into separate companies fighting all across the Eye of Terror. Many still bear a burning hatred of Khârn for his actions, but others admire his single-minded devotion to slaughter. Khârn has led warbands of Khorne Berzerkers and other forces in uncounted battles, victory is always his but his followers seldom survive to see it. Now only the most dedicated, or insane, warriors will follow him, but this is of no consequence to the Betrayer who lives only to slay in Khorne's name.

THE WORLDEATERS
The Worldeaters were created in the First Founding of the Legions and still regard themselves as such. It is the later foundings under the false "Emperor of Mankind" which have turned from the true path and become decadent and depraved. Even before the Heresy the Worldeaters were noted for their savagery. They were censured by the Emperor for their use of psycho-surgery on new recruits to turn them into frothing madmen. Nonetheless the Worldeaters were invaluable tenor troops in the Great Crusade and fought at the forefront of all the greatest campaigns. It was a simple matter for Horus to pervert the Worldeaters' bloody Legion rituals to the worship of Chaos. Under his corrupting influence the Worldeaters quickly became devoted to Khorne the blood god.

Once renowned for their unswerving loyalty to the Emperor, the name of the Worldeaters became a byword for carnage and tenor during the Heresy. They always fought in the vanguard of the Traitor Legions and their Legion records show that it was they and not the Sons of Horus who first breached the walls of the Imperial palace. The Worldeaters retreated from Terra only grudgingly and fought their way to the Eye of Tenor, carving a bloody swathe through anything that tried to stand in their way.

The Worldeaters continued and strengthened their blood traditions while in exile, tying themselves ever closer to Khorne and his daemons. All pretence of forming balanced, tactical forces fell away as the Worldeaters armed themselves entirely with pistols and close combat weapons, chain-axes and chainswords becoming the favoured tools of bloodshed. In battle the Worldeaters squads charged directly into close combat, roaring their praise of Khorne as they pounded forward.

As more and more of the Legion's officers became fully fledged champions of Khorne or were possessed by daemons all discipline broke down. Finally, at the end of the savage Skalathrax campaign an individual who became known as Khârn the Betrayer, an exalted and utterly insane berzerker-champion of Khorne, set upon his brethren with such bloodlust that the whole Legion tore itself apart in a great battle which lasted days and nights without end. By the time the smoke cleared the Legion had been shattered into dozens of warbands of crazed berserkers, which now move relentlessly through the Eye of Terror seeking out battle and bloodshed.

Some of these warbands are hundreds strong, others are no more than a lone champion leading his Berzerkers on a quest for carnage. Such warbands will join their forces with any Chaos lord who is gathering his forces for conquests, asking nothing more than to spill blood and take skulls for their lord Khorne. However, even Chaos lords must be wary in case their own heads are added to the tally of the fallen.



Khorne Berzerkers are savage fighters who revel in the bloodiest hand-to-hand combats. In their eagerness to offer blood and skulls to Khorne they carry many vicious close combat weapons into battle. Often they wield an axe - or the deadly chain-axe - as these are the preferred weapons of the Blood God himself, although the chainsword is almost as equally favoured.

Khorne Berzerkers relish their role as the sacred destroyers of Khorne the Blood God and are fanatical in the extreme. Their delight in death and pain is so strong that they have been known to fall on their own chainswords as sacrifices to the Blood God!
