• 24:00 - 24:30 years of work ah Glo some more why don't you we're all dying to hear it as you wish is someone disappointed that they wagered on the wrong brute yeah yeah get a good laugh I'll admit it I expected more of a fight than that and if angrong would have lost I would have been twice as rich as you right now H you didn't really think that old man was going to survive did you I don't think the had even gone 20 seconds before angron caved
• 24:30 - 25:00 his head in and it was at this moment when reality Came Crashing Down onto angron the only father he had ever known was dead and he was the one who had killed him for the first time in his life he began openly weeping his cries were so powerful that the cave walls began to violently Shake he sobbed uninterrupted for 3 days and when when he finally stopped Only One Singular thought
• 25:00 - 25:30 remained Vengeance angron vowed that he would escape from his chains and make the high Riders pay for the death of anus angron spent the next number of years teaching the Gladiators in the pits how to fight the bond between angron and the remaining slaves grew so strong that he began to look at them as his brothers and sisters angron wasn't only teaching them to fight he was also plotting their escape in on one
• 25:30 - 26:00 momentous day angron and his Gladiators put their plan into action here stands 100 Gladiators of Thea prepared for battle how many Will Survive place your wages and enjoy the festivities this is it jakura the day has finally come I'm ready angeron we all

• 26:30 - 27:00 seats angran and his brothers and sisters were revolting and the members of the crowd were their first targets as they began attacking the retreating civilians the rest of the crowd was completely enveloped in fear they ran as fast as they could screaming at the top of their lungs the new Syrian kard attempted to regain control and the Gladiators in the stands were met with a barrage of gunfire but it was too late the evading Deans running for their
• 27:00 - 27:30 lives created a stampede and many of the king guards were trampled while the Gladiators in the crowd continued sowing chaos and butchering all who stood in their way angron and those who stayed in the pit forced their way back into the caves and freed the remaining prisoners armored guards rushed down to the caves to stop the Revolt firing laser weapons and rifles but angron overcome by the thumping of the butcher's Nails Unleashed his fury on them within the arena and the caves below it
• 27:30 - 28:00 the ground was littered with the bodies of the dead and injured angron and his Warrior Spilled Out into the streets of Desa and waged war against any of the high riders that were foolish enough to stay in fight with sticks rocks and anything else they could muster they viciously attacked those who had enslaved them for so many years they butchered the high Riders collecting their skulls and leaving their corpses in the streets these Gladiators raised the cities of new Syria and set fire to
• 28:00 - 28:30 the rubble that remained in one n Syrian day 31 Taran hours the Gladiators faced their well equipped and heavily armed slavers head on and one they were no longer malnourished defenseless prisoners they were the Eaters of cities
• 28:30 - 29:00 by the time the harsh winter arrived the Gladiators had suffered significant casualties from the Relentless High Riders the Eaters of cities were forced to retreat to the treacherous mountains of Desa when they had first escaped there were thousands of Gladiators who were eager to set fire to thisara over time attacks from the kinguard in the unforgiving conditions of the desel r reduced their numbers to hundreds and by
• 29:00 - 29:30 the time they arrived in the cave that they now called home only 56 remained we won't be able to stay here forever you know this they're going to find us eventually and when they do you think they can defeat us angron and his Eaters of cities were free from the chains of the high Riders but their situation was no less precarious the freezing temperatures and lack of food proved to be a detriment to all of
• 29:30 - 30:00 them angron had not eaten in weeks saving any source of nourishment for his brothers and sisters no but this mountain is slowly killing us jakura angron spoke through gritted teeth and the pain of the butcher's Nails I've been seeing more High Rider Scouts appear searching the area it won't be long until they find us if we die fighting the high Riders so be it I
• 30:00 - 30:30 would rather die fighting alongside you all than to slowly wither away on this mountain rest now and if we have to face our last stand when the Sun rises that's what we'll do as the sun appeared Over the Horizon the next morning angron and his e of cities stood at the edge of the
• 30:30 - 31:00 cave I can hear them coming angaran good let's make them pay for what they did to us the sound of the high Riders approaching was getting louder with each passing moment and when they finally came within view the nails and angron's head pounded like War drums it's rather cold up here angron why don't you come back to where you belong WR we don't take any of this
• 31:00 - 31:30 personally now I can assure you if you return to your rightful place you have our word that we will forget any of this ever happened the high riters were adorned in ridiculous outfits wearing expensive Furs and exotic animal skins but it was the man's voice that Drew angron's ey the maggot's eye this was the voice that had haunted him for years the voice that flew overhead and goat Ed him and the other Gladiators never we will never go back
• 31:30 - 32:00 you're acting like a child angron don't make this more difficult than it needs to be this doesn't make sense why are they talking to us there's so many of them looking down at the hundreds of kguard surrounding the Eaters of cities everything began to make sense in angron's head they didn't want to kill angron they needed him alive the wealthy and technologically advanced High Riders had rebounded from the Eaters of City's
• 32:00 - 32:30 attack but without their standout warrior in the arena to fight the desan populace was no longer engrossed by the arena battles and there was nothing more dangerous to the high Riders than the desan people focusing on their own poverty if you want me you'll have to take me with your bare hands well then you've given us no other option just remember that this was your choice
• 32:30 - 33:00 angron not ours the high Riders opened fire on the Eaters of cities and 20 of them died in an instant angron watched his brothers Fall by his side being overpowered by the deadly nerian Weaponry he had his eyes fixated on the man who barked orders Through The maggot's Eyes he launched himself at him and ripped him in two angron was unhinged ready to throw himself at every
• 33:00 - 33:30 last High Rider that dared to face him when he was suddenly taken back by a blinding flash of light the Emperor of mankind appeared angron was frozen in place unable to move the psychic energy from the emperor caused torment in angron's head [Music]
• 33:30 - 34:00 I'm not leaving this mountain I'm not leaving my brothers here to die angron hit the ground violently shattering the tiles beneath him he
• 34:00 - 34:30 opened his eyes and struggled to understand what he was seeing his battle brothers were gone as were the high Riders more curiously he was no longer on the snow covered to Shay and Mountaintop his eyes darted around the room taking in the luxurious AR pieces hanging on the walls and the Warriors in golden armor towering over him as he struggled to his feet as one of the Warriors approached angron ripped the spear from from his hand and impaled him with his own
• 34:30 - 35:00 weapon before he could move to neutralize the other golden Warriors he was Dazed by another flash of [Music] light no my brothers are dying I cannot abandon them
• 35:00 - 35:30 you don't choose my destiny let me out of this place I know nothing of this Legion you speak of nor do I care I need to stand and fight on newera in one final flash of light angr opened his eyes and was suddenly somewhere completely different this time he was all alone he was surrounded by dark stone walls and massive blue and white banners angron
• 35:30 - 36:00 didn't know where he was but he knew it wasn't where he was supposed to be he should be fighting with his brothers and sisters on the deela ridge everything happened so fast that his brain couldn't comprehend it and the nails hammered away in pain as he tried to make sense of it all who was this Emperor and what was this place that he had taken him to as his mind raced and his emotions washed over him a door at the top of a staircase opened light poured into the
• 36:00 - 36:30 room and the silhouette of a man walked in closing the door behind him my Lord my primarch it's an extraordinary honor to stand in your presence I must admit I feared this day might never come gear slowly descended the stairs approaching angron as he spoke we have traveled the stars for many many years anticipating your arrival as gear continued his slow March towards
• 36:30 - 37:00 his Primark angron began to rise to his feet I have acted as the legion commander in your absence sire but you are here now and your legion stands before you angron stared at gear clenching his jaw like an iron grip we will honor you my lord we are here to serve you serve me yes my Lord we are here to serve you in
• 37:00 - 37:30 the name of the Emperor as gear muttered those fateful words angron's blood boiled the nails pummeled away in his head and angron snarled at gear as he looked down at him in the name of the emperor [Music]
• 37:30 - 38:00 the warhounds captain of the eth assault company approached the door to the hall where angron remained in an act of Rage that left the entire warhounds Legion baffled angron had executed gear shortly
• 38:00 - 38:30 after he entered the hall at least six other warhounds met the same fate as gear after they reluctantly followed their former Legion Commander K stood outside of the door and quietly spoke to himself under his breath my Primark I assure you that we mean no disrespect or harm in the name of the emperor if you would be willing to listen to what I have to say to you we are your legion we are at your command K opened the door and slowly walked down
• 38:30 - 39:00 the stairs it was so dark in the room that K's eyes had difficulties adjusting even through the darkness it was obvious that his Primark had left the hall in shambles the smell of blood was overpowering and nearly every light in the room had been broken or ripped out of the wall my Primark I assure you another Warrior that enters the arena with no
• 39:00 - 39:30 [Music] weapon babbling nonsense is this how all of you prepare to fight K couldn't see the Primark but he bellowed so loudly that he could hear him perfectly to fight no my Lord I am not here to fight in the name of the emperor no the emperor killed my brothers and sister s is down there refuses to show
• 39:30 - 40:00 himself to me my Primark I don't why why are you all like this talking about this paper skin Emperor enough get to your feet and fight me now S I am not here to harm you you are my honorable leader our honorable leader we are your warriors no
• 40:00 - 40:30 none of you are warriors Warriors don't walk onto the hot dust without a weapon speaking softly and my Warriors are dead now I should have died with them on the mountain but this Emperor took me from my Warriors why do you call yourself Warriors if you enter the hot dust and refuse to fight K stumbled to his feet and attempted to
• 40:30 - 41:00 catch his breath as he collected himself my apologies sire I do not know what you speak of this hot dust nor do I know of your battle on the mountain I'm sorry for the death of your warriors my brothers and I we have waited for many years for your arrival you are our Primark our
• 41:00 - 41:30 leader what are you saying what is this primarch why are you wasting my time I'm sorry Z primarch leads a legion of Warriors you are a primarch you are one of the sons of the emperor what did you say to me I am no son of any emperor the only father I ever knew
• 41:30 - 42:00 anus died on Desa a wave of emotion washed over angron with the thought of anus K was having difficulties breathing and could feel at least one broken bone in his leg he was taken aback by angron's complete lack of knowledge he pondered whether he was truly unaware of who he was or whether this was a ruse what I am saying to you sire as a primarch you you are our leader you were chosen to lead
• 42:00 - 42:30 us I choose nothing I did not choose to lead any of you I was taken away from those that I chose to lead I understand as your warriors your servants we do fight when necessary but we will never fight you we will fight for you we fight the enemies of our EMP no the enemies of our Legion tyrants
• 42:30 - 43:00 zenos zenos yes yes aliens impure creatures anyone that threatens Humanity the enemies of you our Primark angron stood quietly pausing before he spoke again what is your name my name is KH KH [Music]
• 43:00 - 43:30 KH where are we right now KH we are in your Triumph Hall sire on the adamant resolve the warhound ship your ship we constructed this room upon learning of your impending arrival if we leave this room if we walk through that door what will happen you will be saluted by Warriors more like me who are ready to serve you
• 43:30 - 44:00 as you see fit warhounds legionnaires who will fight and die for you if need be angron said nothing he looked at K and extended his hand to help him up from the ground they walked up the stairs together and threw the door into the flagship Corridor the hall outside of the chamber was lined with the warhound estares they stood neatly in order a looked of stunned shock on their faces as they stared intently at their Primark
• 44:00 - 44:30 warhounds our Primark has arrived he has spilled the blood of hostiles on new Syria he led his brothers and sisters the Eaters of cities in the mountains of Desa he is our commander the leader of the warhounds all of the warhounds saluted angron at once placing a fist over their chest angron looked around slowly taking in the sight of the lines of aartis standing before him sire as your
• 44:30 - 45:00 warriors we will not be Eaters of cities will'll be the Eaters of Worlds angron stared directly into drager's eyes and a smile slowly formed at the edges of his mouth World eaters yes you will be World eaters
• 45:00 - 45:30 prior to angron's Discovery the warhounds are one of the last remaining Legions without a Primark they watched with silent Envy as the other Prim marks slowly began to surface witnessing firsthand how the legion changed for the better as there respective Gene fathers appeared and then the day finally
• 45:30 - 46:00 came after Decades of waiting there Primark had arrived the excitement was palpable at last their true Commander was there to lead them to shape their Legion into one in his own image the story of angron being the only primarch who had refused the order of the emperor quickly spread knowing that angron would rather have died with his army than joined the emperor's Crusade only added to the warhounds enthusiasm what primar could better understand true
• 46:00 - 46:30 Brotherhood than the one who rejected the emperor to stand with his brothers even after the death of gear the warhounds were euphoric in their excitement and completely devoted to serving their Gene father angron on the other hand was feeling much different than his new Sons and struggled to accept his role of serving the emperor he quickly became acquainted with his Legion in life outside of neria no longer was he leading a group of ravenous alien Gladiators who were armed
• 46:30 - 47:00 with only sticks and rocks the meticulously trained Genetically Enhanced the startis of the world eaters were killing machines on a level that angron could have never imagined killing machines that the emperor had deployed to conquer worlds that were lost during old night K had introduced angron to the campaign of Liberation known as the great Crusade and found himself toiling to overcome angron's hesitancy to participate
• 47:00 - 47:30 again with this compliance talk I already told you KH I don't understand it I don't care about it I don't know why you insist on living as a slave sire I feel as if there is a misunderstanding we embark on campaigns to bring worlds into compliance with the Imperial truth worlds where zenos dwell creatures from the warp worlds where humans have been LED astray and have not
• 47:30 - 48:00 accepted the rule of the Imperium rule of the Imperium this Emperor is just another High Rider keeping Humanity in shackles unless they comply with his word I want nothing to do with this with all due respect sire I believe you are mistaken compliance campaigns don't enslave worlds they free
• 48:00 - 48:30 them bringing a world into the Imperium doesn't keep people in shackles it breaks them and what if a world refuses to join the Imperium then we take the necessary actions to ensure they comply why are you speaking in riddles Khan tell me of these necessary actions we assault the those who reject the Imperium sire we strike the planet
• 48:30 - 49:00 attacking it from our ships we invade the planet and engage in battle on the ground often times worlds willingly join the Imperium and there is no need to strike but this is not always the case the nails were pounding in angron's head the thought of doing anything to support the emperor was an idea that angron loathed but he was suffering from a Relentless Agony brought on by the butcher's nails and he started to think
• 49:00 - 49:30 of the Bloodshed that the emperor's compliance would bring blood shed that could soothe the pain from the nails tell me Khan how long are these compliance campaigns a campaign continues until the world willingly joins or until it is completely liberated the length of time differs in each campaign hron paused for a long long moment before he replied to K 31
• 49:30 - 50:00 hours I'm sorry s 31 hours was all we needed in Des to defeat the high Riders no explosives no bolters no ship bombardments we fought with rocks we fought with our bare hands the world eaters will have 31 hours to bring a world to compliance angron what you accomplished on new
• 50:00 - 50:30 Syria is remarkable but I'm not sure 31 hours is enough time to take an entire world some worlds perhaps but others if tens of thousands of Warriors such as you with powerful weaponry and armor cannot take a world in 31 hours then they don't deserve to stand on the battlefield no excuses if I to lead them there will be no other
• 50:30 - 51:00 way by your word angron and so began the rebirth of the warhounds reemerging under angron's leadership as the world eaters luan's participation in the great Crusade was more rooted in angron's needs than the Emperors and as the great Crusade carried on this word took on an entirely new meeting
• 51:00 - 51:30 compliance a compliance campaign now meant killing every last Soul on the world that was being invaded in less than 31 hours if this was not completed angran would enforce a new mandate decimation angron sought to root out the weakness of his new Legion and failure to meet angron's standard did just that
• 51:30 - 52:00 each time the world eaters failed to take a world within 31 hours one out of every 10 in the legion was to be killed the consequences of decimation were substantial and the unease of facing it started to loom over the world eaters like a dark cloud over the next number of years the legion transformed itself under angron's leadership as the warhounds became the world eaters and the flagship adamant
• 52:00 - 52:30 resolve became the Conqueror the once honorable and strategic compliance campaigns of the warhounds devolved into ruthless bouts of Slaughter the world eaters continued to change and their image and reputation in the eyes of the other estaris Legions also began to shift as the great Crusade continued on even some within the world eaters began to quietly question their new Direction the dreams of serving under a tactical Genius Like rabut Gillan or a
• 52:30 - 53:00 heroic Warrior like sanguinius slowly started to wash away the world eaters couldn't truly understand the pain that angron felt from his genetic implants but they saw how they affected him when they were engaged in battle angron was a force to be reckoned with the nails turned this already Fierce Unstoppable Warrior into a complete embodiment of War he was impossible to contain slicing and tearing through every enemy that dared to stand in his
• 53:00 - 53:30 way it was when the legion wasn't in battle that proved to be problematic angron was impatient short-tempered and completely devoid of empathy he would fly into fits of Rage out of nowhere smashing cators to Mere fragments of circuitry and leaving gaping holes in the quarters of the Conqueror many world eaters had gone years without angron ever acknowledging their existence as their primarch would frequently stalk past them without even making eye
• 53:30 - 54:00 contact the world eaters continued taking worlds in the name of compliance but they frequently failed to do so in less than 31 hours then during one particular compliance something happened that changed the fate of the world eaters forever angron had vanished K had ordered every officer aboard every ship to search for angron but each
• 54:00 - 54:30 report came back the same angron was nowhere to be found after comparing the results of a deep aspec scan to the inventory World eater ships it was discovered that one was missing descending Edge not wanting to derail the current campaign K left it in the hands of his trusted officers and set out with a small team to find angron K comb through the Galaxy for two years in search of his
• 54:30 - 55:00 primarch although he would never admit it K began to lose hope after years upon years of waiting for his Primark to surface he Finly did only to disappear Without a Trace shortly after taking command of the Legion K swore that he would either return of angron or he would not return at all he was prepared to spend the rest of his life searching for him but then the ship crew spotted something in orbit
• 55:00 - 55:30 floating silently above a dark world something that resembled the long missing descending Edge K didn't need to step foot on the ship to know what he would find or more specifically what he wouldn't find the small escort ship was gone too long and too far away from feasible resupply points to have any survivors on board as the officers who journeyed through the stars of K board a descending Edge K made planetfall to the world below to search for his primarch unbeknownst to angron K had
• 55:30 - 56:00 Mars Forge transponders installed within his power armor as time went on and angron's behavior became more unpredictable K correctly assumed something like this may happen and while they weren't designed for long range tracking K knew that if angron was on world he would now be close enough to locate him he cut through thick jungles in a seemingly endless amount of trees following a path that had been created as he followed his aspects indicated that angron was nearby
• 56:00 - 56:30 he walked for 6 hours and as the sun set above him he stood at the entrance to a massive cave K's aspcs beeped again telling him what he already knew angron was here he entered the cave walking slowly and looking thoroughly in every direction after only a short time in the cave K heard a low deep voice Bellow out from the darkness You Found Me
• 56:30 - 57:00 KH angron KH leave me alone sire you know I didn't come all this way to leave without you we have spent 2 years searching for you I don't care KH your sons are without their leader angron I don't have any sons my sons died on
• 57:00 - 57:30 neria they died without me you the legion The Crusade none of this was my choice none of this was my destiny your pathetic Emperor ripped my destiny from my hands when he put me on your ship and left my brother brothers and sisters to die I don't want to hear about my sons
• 57:30 - 58:00 or what you or they or anyone needs from me I was finally free finally in charge of my own destiny and in the blink of an eye it was all gone you may call me your father your sire your primarch but I'm just a another slave to the High Rider Emperor living out his
• 58:00 - 58:30 Destiny it pained K to hear this but he understood from the moment angron landed on nria he had not been in control of his own fate and what will you do here hide in this cave forever I'll die I'll stalk this world until something kills me the way I should have been killed on New Seria I acknowledge your pain you can never
• 58:30 - 59:00 understand my pain they never stop there is no peace come back angron we can continue fighting in the Crusade and the pain will subside no none of you are strong enough the campaigns have been riddled with failure KH you are all focused on the wrong things when I look at you your
• 59:00 - 59:30 brothers I don't see Warriors there is too much talking too much planning too much diplomacy then we can learn from you angron you can train us no I can't you could never do what I do in battle you don't feel the pain of the nails you don't hear them sing as you fight pushing you to butcher your enemy you don't have the butcher's Nails
• 59:30 - 60:00 KH KH looked into angron's eyes and stepped closer but what if we did he may have been fighting the emperor's Crusade and he wasn't leading his true Brothers the ones who died alone on Neri but for the first time in decades angron felt
• 60:00 - 60:30 invigorated this this is what was missing the butcher's nails were the missing link the link that would finally build the bond of angron and His World eaters he had ordered Gan CAC a seasoned World eater's Apothecary to replicate the butcher's nails for mass production and he made it known to the world eaters that when they were able to produce them he expected every everyone in the region to undergo the surgery many of the world eers shared
