Angron: Slave of Nuceria: Slave of Nuceria (Volume 11) (The Horus Heresy: Primarchs)

Product Information

Of special interest to me have been the legends of those nine who would later go on to embrace the darkness (or is it primordial truth? It shows why he was one of the best suited to their inclusion, and how certain minds much more easily adapted to the enhanced aggression than others. Change for the legion; how going from the War Hounds to the World Eaters effects the minds of the legion and change for the primarch. I would not describe this book as a good entry to the 40k setting, but if you're already familiar with the events this is one of the better ones.

The taking of captives and prisoners never entered a centurion of the Xll’s considerations as he planned a campaign or readied his brothers to charge. After all, the aforementioned Space Wolves fulfil the role of Imperium’s executioners, so Angron’s and the World Eaters’ hyper-aggressive style isn’t exactly necessary.Takes a look at the angriest of all the primarchs and really makes a effort to in a way humanise him. Unlike his brothers, the Twelfth Primarch is the only one who would not rise to rule over the world of his upbringing, and there was a very special reason for that.

I don’t doubt World Eaters go on perform some outrageous feats of savagery during the Horus Heresy arc, but St. There was a period of relative lucidity between his acceptance of his role in the legion, and the Horus Heresy.All of this is written in a nice pace, focussing on the important moments without dragging them out. It's probably not an easy feat to make Angron, a character defined by just being endlessly filled with rage and not having much of a personality beyond that, a sympathetic and perhaps even tragic or heroic figure. That the damnation of the World Eaters was an entirely human one, at least initially, and the angry god to adopt his legion later was really only formalizing what they'd been doing for decades.

There are so many things this book does right, especially in terms of action pacing and Angron's past. You've seen the immediate aftermath of Angron's recruitment into the Imperium in the short story 'After Desh'ea' – now Ian St. Furthermore, we have viewpoint characters who can directly contrast their thoughts with those of their more bloodthirsty kin.

With Slave of Nuceria, you repeatedly run into the problem of Betrayer being treated as required reading. But still, whether Angron wants it or not, he is his Legion’s gene-father, the sire they all look up to with utmost deference and trust, and anyway he is not to be blamed for what had been done to him – which is, I suppose, one of the most poignant tragedies of the entire Horus Heresy.
