[[File:Sanguinius by noldofinve-d4xpxx5-5157.jpg|thumbnail|right|400px|Look, if I HAD to bang a dude...just sayin'...]]

'''Sanguinius''' was (and that 'was' is quite significant) the [[Primarch]] of the [[Blood Angels]] [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]. He was notable for the fuckhueg angel-like wings that mutated out of his back during his childhood on his home planet, [[Baal]], as well as his heroic deeds during the [[Great Crusade]]. Unfortunately, Sanguinius was slain by [[Horus]] during his eponymous [[Horus Heresy|Heresy]], though it is widely believed that it was Sanguinius' weakening of the Arch-Traitor which made it possible for the [[Emperor]] to shut Horus's big, stupid, [[heresy]]-spewing mouth once and for all, and thus save mankind from the clutches of [[Chaos]].

==Origins==

Like the rest of the Primarchs, Sanguinius was bio-engineered on [[Terra]] to serve as a general in the [[Emperor]]'s armies, and was stolen in his infancy and carried away across the galaxy by daemonic agents of [[Chaos]] in an attempt to foil the Emperor's efforts to unite humanity. Landing on [[Baal]], he was found by the Folk of the Blood, a local tribe who raised him to manhood. They were going to kill him for being a mutant, but when it became clear that Sanguinius was a badass warrior-prodigy the likes of which they'd never seen, they decided he was worth keeping. After all, Sanguinius was actually a pretty nice guy for [[Warhammer 40,000|40k]], and he was pretty handy at fighting off those other mutants that kept attacking them from Baal's radioactive deserts, which he could walk through without any protection. As such, Sanguinius quickly ascended as a leader among the tribes of Baal and drove back the hordes of mutants threatening their hold on the world, eventually attaining a near god-like status among the planet's denizens.

After the Emperor found Baal and bade Sanguinius to assume his rightful place among his armies, Sanguinius wept a single tear of joy because he's manly enough to be in touch with his feelings, and bowed before the Emprah. (Of the [[canon|canonical]] Space Marines, his chapter is to this day one of the most batshit-loyal to the Emperor.) The greatest of Sanguinius' tribal warriors were extended the honor of joining the [[Space Marines|Adeptus Astartes]], and were thereafter implanted with the gene-seed drawn from Sanguinius' genome. These men became the first members of the ninth Space Marine legion to be founded, and the [[Blood Angels]] were born.

==The Great Crusade==

[[File:7d9a85e6e4a368bb435e943fc891a25b.jpg|thumbnail|right|250px|Sanguinius (left) and Horus whooping some ass together before SOMEBODY had to go and damn the Imperium to an eternity of [[Grimdark|war, cultural stagnation and paranoia]].]]

Joining the [[Great Crusade]], Sanguinius became best buds with fellow Primarchs [[Horus]], [[Roboute Guilliman]], and [[Rogal Dorn]]. Ironically (and later, tragically), his friendship with Horus is said to have been closer than that of any of the other Primarchs. Which, this being 40k, went straight to hell when the [[Horus Heresy]] started. He was easily the most [[Pretty Marines|fabulous]] of all the Emperor's generals; he wore a glowing, ornate set of golden artificer armor adorned with huge rubies which represented Terra, Baal, and Baal's moons, and his magnificent white wings would spread behind him as he took to the skies of the battlefield. At the same time, he gave the impression that he'd be happy to cast off his finery, whereas Fulgrim would rather die. Basically, in Sanguinius' case, [[Games Workshop|Geedubs]] abandoned all pretense of being subtle about the whole "the Emperor is God, the primarchs are the archangels, and Horus is Lucifer" thing—like, to the point that Sanguinius became known simply as "The Angel" among the armies of mankind.

Though not first in favor among the Emprah's Primarchs (that position belonged to Horus, pre-heresy), [[Magnus the Red|or the biggest psychic powerhouse]], [[Roboute Guilliman|or the best at empire-building]], [[Lorgar|or even the one who looked most like Dad]], Sanguinius was said to have the best ''blend'' of the Big E's attributes. And while a lot of the Space Marine legions and their generals fought in the Great Crusade just for the sake of glory and a good battle, Sanguinius and his Blood Angels fought for what the Emperor himself did: [[Noblebright|a better galaxy, a peaceful galaxy, one where humanity would be united, happy, and prosperous]]. During the Crusade, the Blood Angels formed a friendly rivalry with the [[World Eaters]] legion (yet another relationship the Horus Heresy would royally buttfuck), because both were noted for being assault-oriented shock troops; however, while the World Eaters were straight-up lunatics in combat, the Blood Angels' ferocity was mitigated when it needed to be by Sanguinius' wisdom.

Also everyone loved the guy. Literally, even at the depths of his heresy Horus wished Sanguinius was one of his generals. [[meme|And he was a good guy who doesn't afraid of anything]].

===Signus Prime and Ka'Bandha===

[[Image:Signusianclash.jpg|thumb|left|400px|''"[[Awesome|If you truly do hail from the realm that men once called hell, when you return there, tell your kindred it was Sanguinius who threw you back.]]"'' —Sanguinius, taking a small moment to deliver this line after decapitating a [[Keeper of Secrets]] and [[rip and tear|"relieving"]] [[Khorne]]'s mightiest servant of his wings, and just generally setting the stage for Ka'Bandha's future [[butthurt]].]]

At one point during the Great Crusade, Sanguinius and the Blood Angels were tasked by Warmaster Horus with reclaiming the Signus Cluster from a supposed [[xenos]] infestation and liberating the humans there from their oppressors. However, when they arrived, they found that the entire system had been consumed by the evil influence of the [[Chaos Gods]], and specifically a [[Keeper of Secrets]] calling itself Kyriss the Perverse. (This was actually a trap set by Horus in an attempt to eliminate Sanguinius early on because he feared him more than any of his other fellow Primarchs. What a pussy.) Long story short, the Blood Angels were caught off guard and lost a lot of Marines, but eventually regrouped and conquered the armies of cultists and Chaos [[daemons]] in the Signus system. To top it off, Sanguinius faced Kyriss himself one-on-one and beheaded that sick fuck, promptly ending his rule.

But a greater threat soon emerged: Ka'bandha, a powerful [[Bloodthirster]] and one of [[Khorne]]'s greatest servants, attacked the Blood Angels while taunting Sanguinius and claiming that Horus had betrayed him. Refusing to believe this, Sanguinius attacked in rage, and managed to stab his sword right into the daemon's chest and wound him severely. Ka'bandha roared in pain and lashed out with his whip, ensnaring Sanguinius' legs and crushing them. Then, leaving Sanguinius alive for [[Plot armor|some reason]], he charged off to slay a few hundred Blood Angels. The Red Thirst, already a problem for the Blood Angels, was exacerbated by the psychic shockwaves of this defeat, and Sanguinius vowed that he would take vengeance on Ka'bandha for this atrocity.

===During the later Horus Heresy===

Along with the [[Imperial Fists]] and the [[White Scars]], the Blood Angels were able to make it back to [[Terra]] in the closing days of the Horus Heresy to defend it from the traitor legions and their daemonic allies. Sanguinius and his legion led the defense of the Imperial Palace itself when the forces of Chaos closed in around it, and the Primarch slew innumerable daemons, traitors and other assorted scum in the process. Fortunately for Sanguinius, Ka'Bandha also turned up during the battle, and the two went at it again rather majestically atop the Eternity Gate to the Emperor's throne room. Not to be beaten again, Sanguinius managed to [[Awesome|SNAP KA'BANDHA'S SPINE OVER HIS MOTHERFUCKING KNEE]] and hurled the bastard's corpse back into the throng of Chaos filth below, and the Blood Angels who had died by the Bloodthirster's hand were thus avenged in the most spectacularly badass of ways.

[[File:Horus vs The Emperor.jpg|thumbnail|right|300px|Unfortunately, this is the image most people know Sanguinius from. (He's the dead guy on the floor.)]]

But this is Warhammer 40,000, and [[noblebright]] doesn't last very long against [[grimdark]], even when it's badass noblebright. Eventually, the Big E himself, along with Sanguinius, [[Rogal Dorn]], Rogal Dorn's mustache, and a contingent of their respective Marines, launched a last-ditch assault against Horus, teleporting aboard his [[Battle Barge|battle barge]] and taking the fight to the Warmaster himself. As fighting broke out across the capital ship, Sanguinius got separated from the rest of the assault party ([[Tzeentch|THANKS OBAMA!]]), and when he found Horus, he was alone. Horus, perhaps out of some small, lingering sense of brotherhood with Sanguinius, offered his former friend, for the final time, a chance to turn to Chaos. But Sanguinius said '''"NEVAH!"''' and the two Primarchs proceeded to battle for the fate of mankind. Though Sanguinius was one of the most powerful of the Primarchs, he was wounded and wearied from the fight on Terra and already at a disadvantage, and Horus had been granted terrible power by the gods of Chaos to boot. Horus therefore slew Sanguinius so hard that it psychically traumatized the Blood Angels for ages to come, and the [[Black Rage]] became the ([[Mephiston|almost]]) inescapable mental scourge it is on the chapter today.

==Legacy==

Although Sanguinius lost to Horus, it is widely believed that the Emperor would not have been able to destroy Horus afterwards were it not for the chink that Sanguinius put in Horus' armor. And it is also widely agreed that if Horus hadn't come to save his legion's ass that day on Terra, it would have been ground out of existence by Sanguinius and the Blood Angels. Lastly, it is also agreed that Sanguinius was tired after several days of fighting (he defied fucking [[Angron]] on the battlements!), and if he had been totally refreshed, Horus would have had a lot more than just a chink in his armor. However, in the Horus Heresy Collected Visions, it details the battle between the Emperor and Horus, and makes it clear that the main reason Big E didn't kill him immediately is because he thought he might be able to save him…a hope which was dashed as soon as he saw Sanguinius' body.

In short, if Horus is Lucifer and The Emprah is God, then Sanguinius is Jesus. Sanguinius died for your sins…just like Optimus Prime does on a daily basis.

Sanguinius also bears the distinction of being one of the few Primarchs (alongside Horus, [[Ferrus Manus]] and [[Roboute Guilliman]]) who were capable of lasting a little more than 3 seconds against [[Angron]], who had Sanguinus' strength but was much quicker to go all-out.

In the 41st millennium, Sanguinius is the Primarch most beloved by the [[Imperium]] for his [[Dreadnought|heroic sacrifice]] (despite what [[Matt Ward|he who shall not be named]] would say about [[Roboute Guilliman|our Spiritual Liege]]), and is a hero of the Imperial Cult. Across the Imperium a celebration called the Sanguinala is held in his honor, where adepts wear the iconography of the Blood Angels. A festival dedicated to [[Leman Russ]] would have been a better party, but would also have involved more property damage and alcohol-related deaths, and a hell of a lot more [[Furry|fur fags]].

The mysterious entity known as the [[Sanguinor]] is believed to be the incarnation of Sanguinius' better nature, or the first [[Sanguinary Guard]] Herald Azkaellon, miraculously preserved through time. Its actual origin, though, is far more mundane: when Sanguinius was named Emperor of [[Roboute Guilliman|Guilliman']]s [[Imperium Secundus]], he and Azkaellon invented the figure who could act as Sanguinius' public face and deal with petitioners, whilst Sanguinius himself could be elsewhere, you know...[[Get shit done|dealing with stuff]]. In modern 40k, outside of perhaps the Sanguinary Guard themselves, the only "living" person ''confirmed'' to know the truth is [[Lion El'Jonson|the Lion]], but he's in no position to tell anyone. But since nobody else in the 41st millennium is entirely certain of the truth, it's getting the [[Inquisition]]'s panties in a bunch. A good thing, too, since Sanguinius' original position of proxy-Emperor was a teensie bit [[Heresy|heretical]].

It is a well-known fact that every female (human, xenos and daemonette) in the the whole grimdark galaxy wants Sanguinius sexually, including <s>[[Khorne]]</s> '''{{Blam|WHO CALLED ME FEMALE?!}}''' and [[Slaanesh]]. Many [[Sisters of Battle|Sororitas]] (and some [[Space Marines|Astartes]]) cry themselves to sleep at the knowledge that they won't <s>[[Ultramarines|EVER]] [[Matt Ward|BE]] [[Ultramarines|ULTRAMARINES]]</s> ever be able to hold his beautiful golden mane as he slays them with his mighty power sword.

Angron

2015-12-11T13:44:30Z

2A02:C7D:6008:FC00:8CEC:53A3:A55A:A39E: /* Horus Heresy */

[[File:World Eaters.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Angron and his World Eaters, pre-heresy and pre-[[daemon prince]] in a rare state of tranquility standing on top of [[grimdark|a pile made of snow and dead bodies]]. It's hard to calm down when there're nails in your brain.]]
{{heresy}}
[[/tg/_gets_shit_done|HE.GETS. SHIT. DONE.]]

His name is Angron (A.K.A. '''The Red Angel''' or '''Shithead''' if you're sergeant Gharte ). Do we really have to spell it out? While his name may be a play on the words "Anger", it is highly possible that his name is based on the Greek word "Agrion" which means "Wild" (Which pretty much suits him considering that he is wild with rage).

How does one define the term Badass? The angriest son of a bitch in the galaxy, tied with An'ggrath. He was so angry that the part of him that was angry exploded from his head, thus making him permanently angry. Being kidnapped by the [[God-Emperor of Mankind|Emprah]] didn't help matters so he fucking RAGED at his dad by joining up with [[Khorne]], Warhammer's God of Battle, War and [[Rage|RAAAAAAAAAAGE]]! [[Primarch]] of the [[World eaters|World Eaters]] and [[Kharn|that swell guy]]. He is Khorne's second most powerful champion, where he falls short to [[Doombreed]], Khorne's first ever [[Daemon Prince]]/Champion who is probably Genghis Khan. But losing out to Doombreed is okay, because he's [[Genghis motherfucking Khan]].

Among his revered exploits include slaughtering the entire population of a planet within a night, killing an entire contingent of Eldar warriors led by a Farseer when he was only a child, leading a gladiator rebellion against their employers and slaughtering every army sent against them. Until a huge one made up of seven armies came and fucked their shit up. However, one must understand that they had already beaten 25 others non stop and didn't even have tea afterwards. The Emperor saved him from dying here, which was a tremendous hit to his martial pride and soon after he [[Rage|RAAAAAAAAAAGE]]ed furiously against the Emperor, believing him a coward devoid of honor and joined up with KHORNE the aforementioned God of War, Strength, Killing, Bloodshed, Battle and [[Rage|RAAAAAAAAAAGE]].

==Early Life & Great Crusade==
He's got good reason to be ever-so-slightly miffed, too: his pre-daemonhood life was one big bowl of shit after another. First he crash-landed on his new home (because Khorne didn't give him a soft landing) and has a good chunk of his head torn off in the crash, then he's jumped by the aforementioned Eldar, then (tired from the killing and the massive brain trauma; keep in mind he's like 6 hours old) he gets captured and sold into slavery by people with near-Imperial tech who JAM ARCHAEOTECH SHIT straight into his brain-meat that makes it so the only time he can feel anything resembling happiness is *while murdering* and make him fight as a gladiator.

When the Emperor comes along, does he help Angron with his totally justified rebellion? Nope, he takes Angron away from the only people who weren't shitty to him and never looks back. To be fair, there's a good possibility that those gladiators were Khorne-corruption fodder, and thus the Emperor figured that saving them would just lead to more enemies in the future, and it's perfectly in-character for him to be a huge dick and not mention it.

Actually, by ''Betrayer'' it turns out that the Emperor had already made a deal with the government of Angron's planet. Therefore it was easier for the Emperor to capture Angron and win over the planet without further bloodshed rather than helping his son win a war against a population that had already submitted to compliance.

It's implied in the novels that Big E took one look at Angron's fucked-up (and dying- the Butcher's Nails were quite literally destroying his brain so fast that the Mechanicus estimated that he wouldn't live long enough to see the end of the Great Crusade) skull and decided that he was a waste of time and effort, and went off to go suck Horus' dick some more. While some might argue that he could have at least tried to removed the Butcher's Nails, keep in mind that all attempts at removing them from regular Space Marines led to their messy deaths. Though later, a captain of the Thousand Sons was fairly certain that their psyker-medics could figure out how to remove them from [[Kharn|a certain swell guy]] who killed him shortly afterwards. The Emperor, in his infinite wisdom, told Angron none of this whatsoever.

When Angron was introduced to his legion he was inconsolable, and ended up hacking apart its captains until Kharn (who was actually much further down the list of command, and rose up the ladder because everyone above him had been dismembered) managed to talk some sense into his father. He then renamed his legion the ''World Eaters'' , as the old army of gladiators he led was known as "the eaters of cities"; as Kharn '''(actually it wasn´t Kharn, but another highranking World eater)''' described it, they would be his eaters of worlds from then on.

Oh yeah, remember how he was lobotomized so he finds joy only killing shit? He then replicated this technology on his legionaries, despite the Empy's warnings. Even in spite of this, however, [[Kharn|that swell guy]] became Angron's 'cool headed' equerry. Ironic.

During the great Crusade he actually had a run in with [[Leman Russ]], who was under orders to sort Angron's behaviour out and stop using the Butchers Nails, presumably because the World Eaters were a bit out of control and wrecking worlds rather than conquering them. There was a brief skirmish where Angron fought Leman Russ in personal combat and made him his bitch until he was outmaneouvered by the Space Wolves troops, but Angron refused to acknowledge his losing position since his sons were steadily butchering the Space Wolves in the larger battle. So there was a lesson about properly claiming objectives, which Angron ignored since he believed that killing EVERYONE should be the only objective. Angron's failure to learn was amply demonstrated at the tail end of the Great Crusade, when he butchered a whole city which had just surrendered, and then on Isstvan III when he sabotaged Horus' clean exterminatus by going down to rip the loyalists apart personally.

==Horus Heresy==
Angron was according to Horus and Lorgar the only Primarch (beside Horus himself) that would be able to successfully take on and beat Sanguinius in full rage mode.

During the Horus Heresy he had an epic showdown with [[Roboute Guilliman]] when he saved [[Lorgar]] from big boy blue. Guilliman calls Angron out to which the Red Angel answered as follows:

''"What would you know of struggle, Perfect Son? When have you fought against the mutilation of your mind? When have you had to do anything more than tally compliances and polish your armour?" [...] "The people of your world named you Great One. The people of mine called me Slave. Which one of us landed on a paradise of civilization to be raised by a foster father, Roboute? Which one of us was given armies to lead after training in the halls of the Macraggian high-riders? Which one of us inherited a strong, cultured kingdom? And which one of us had to rise up against a kingdom with nothing but a horde of starving slaves? Which one of us was a child enslaved on a world of monsters, with his brain cut up by carving knives? Listen to your blue-clad wretches yelling of courage and honour, courage and honour, courage and honour. Do you even know the meaning of those words? Courage is fighting the kingdom which enslaves you, no matter that their armies outnumber yours by ten-thousand to one. You know nothing of courage. Honour is resisting a tyrant when all others suckle and grow fat on the hypocrisy he feeds them. You know nothing of honour."''

Choke on deez nuts, Papa Smurf. Guilliman could only quip this back before running the fuck away:

''"You’re still a slave, Angron. Enslaved by your past, blind to the future. Too hateful to learn. Too spiteful to prosper."''

And in a way, both of them were right. (Although to be fair, the Butcher's Nails had long since destroyed Angron's ability to feel any emotion other than unrelenting fury.)

It should also be noted that during this battle a Warhound Scout Titan tried to step on Lorgar after the Aurelian had taken two discharges of the the titan's main weapon and was badly hurt in the process.
Angron stepped in to save his brother basically catching the titan's foot and setting a new world record in squat weightlifting, keeping the titans weight suspended above himself through his sheer strength and RAGE, until Lorgar could escape. Because that's how the Red Angel rolls. The relationship between these two primarchs was pretty remarkable, and Lorgar repaid the favor by arranging his ascension into a Daemon Prince, although the transformation was so traumatic that even the Urizen couldn't help but feel a moment of doubt over what he had done.

And even in daemonhood, they ''still'' can't get the Nails out. Dang. Archeotech was built to ''last''!

[[Image:Angrondemon.jpg|400px|thumb|FUCK YOU!!!]]

==41st Millennium==

Angron has done far more shit than all the other Daemon Primarchs put together. Instead of [[Fulgrim|sitting around being a painting on some Chaos God's wall]], [[Mortarion|sitting around while being a rotting fatass and feeling sorry for themselves]], <strike>[[Magnus the Red|sitting around and yelling just as planned anytime anything happens]]</strike> (Magnus personally attacked Fenris itself and laid waste to much of the planet and destroyed a lot of gene-seed, proving that [[Tzeentch]] can get shit done too),[[Lorgar|sitting around and preaching constantly]], [[Horus|being]] [[Konrad Curze|dead]], or [[Primarch#Two Missing Primarchs|being missing]] Angron actually gets shit done and boy howdy when he [[rage|rages]] his way out of the eye of terror he makes sure that everyone knows about it...by tearing ''everything'' that gets in his way a new one until he finally gets thrown back into the warp by drowning in a quadrillion metric fucktons of [[Imperial Guard|Imperial Guardsmen]], Planetary Defense Force soldiers, [[Space Marines|Spehss Mehreens]], [[Witch Hunters]], [[Sisters of Battle|Bolter Bitches]], [[Titan|Titans]], [[Stormtrooper|Inquisitorial Stormtroopers]], [[Daemonhunters]], and [[Grey Knights]], but to be fair, everyone kind of does that when the Imperium <strike>finishes the paperwork needed to</strike> retaliates.

One day the [[Chaos Pretty Marines]] asked if they could join his World Eaters in his Dominion of Fire campaign, he responded to this offer by chopping up 900 of the prissy little Slaanesh worshiping faggots and grabbed their Chaos Chapter Master and Chief Sorcerer by the necks and tossed them into a black hole while screaming "FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" throughout the entire hour of butchery. To this day the Chaos Pretty Marines remain too undermanned to participate in any black crusades or Angron rages, which isn't really a surprise since Angron has been fucking the loyalist Pretty Marines' shit up at every turn.

He also slaughtered his way throughout Imperial Space for over a century with 50,000 World Eater [[Berserker]]s and destroyed/maim'dkill'dburn'd/broke the backs of/split open/fucked 70 sectors. However, in a subsequent Imperial offensive, Angron was banished to the warp and his men routed. To be fair, this strike force comprised 2 Titan Legions, 4 full Spess Mehreen chapters and over 30 Imperial Guard regiments to do that. And again to be fair, they put up quite a fight against the superior force. And even more impressive was that Angron's force only comprised Close Combat heavy infantry, no ranged support, no artillery, more like an angry mob of pissed off supermen than an actual army! Which lends credence to the fact, Khornate Berzerkerz = Awesome. Later on, he showed up with an even bigger force to attack Armageddon. The Imperium responded in kind, sending in one hundred [[Grey Knights|Grey Knight Terminators]], and all but ten of them died fighting Angron and his Bloodthirster posse(and only because their prodigy Librarian Hyperion managed to shatter his sword, and he STILL managed to murder their leader with just his bare fists). Took 'em about a week. Fuck yeah. He is armed with a really huge fucking chainaxe that's taller than him with chainswords for the chainteeth of the chainaxe. He's also got a stormbolter, but we wouldn't be surprised if that fired chainswords as well. Fittingly enough, it was called 'Godtearer'.

He also once came down to Fulgrim's Daemon World and beat the shit out of the prissy little Slaanesh worshiping faggot and left the almost dead Slaaneshi marines with the message "SLAANESH IS FOR FUCKING PUSSIES YOU COCKSUCKING FAGGOTS!!!!" Which was spelled out in their blood on a 5 hectare field. He did it because he was still trying to solve the Rubik's cube he still had since his loyalist days and was still frustrated over the fact how he still can't solve it. It is considered really fucking stupid to bring up the topic of even more complex variations of the Rubik's cubes like the 4x4x4 around him, much less unholy monstrosities like the 7x7x7 V-7 cube.

==In video games==

Unfortunately, he hasn't appeared in any of the official games, which greatly displeases [[Khorne]]. However, in the Ultimate Apocalypse mod for [[Dawn of War]], he takes the place of the Chaos Daemons' "game-ending win button" unit - and he's a walking rapetrain that can [[Awesome|obliterate buildings with a single hit, take out Titans in three, make himself invincible, and summon a retinue of Bloodthirsters]].

==On the tabletop==
He has stats from [[White Dwarf]] that makes him a 500 point walking rapemachine who makes [[Abaddon]] the Despoiler and [[Mephiston]] look like total pussies, but you have to get him a bodyguard of at least 7-12 [[Bloodthirster|bloodthirsters]], which effectively racks up his point cost to over 1300 at the least. But with his mandatory bloodthirster bodyguard he can even kill An'ggrath, the biggest and baddest bloodthirster of them all. But they would never fight in canon because An'ggrath is one of the only entities in the universe that Angron respects due to An'ggrath's equal capacity for [[Rage|RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEGGGG!!!]]... oh and Khorne says his champions can't fight each other because despite being balls-to-the-wall angry, Khorne knows well enough that the more champions he has on his side, the more blood spilled on his behalf. Thus, offing one of his champs is counter-productive since he's losing more than he's eventually gaining.

The Horus Heresy rules for him are only a bit less scary, and a lot cheaper too (20%, in fact).

Obviously one of the strongest Primarch in the game when things come to HtH, Angron has a 3+ armor (weak for a demigod), 4+ invulnerable, FNP 6+, the Primarch rule, 5 wounds and T6. On the charge he has 7 S9 attacks (6 S8 normally) at WS9 with Hatred, so he gets to reroll to-hit rolls on the first turn of any combat, while also having Armourbane and dealing Instant Death on to wound roll of 6, in case S8-9 doesn't instagib anything right away. Thanks to the Butcher's Nail he will gain 1 bonus attack, up to 10 total attacks, for every Independent Character or Infantry unit he kills/destroys in close combat (But he must be the one to give the fatal blow/remove the last model to pick up this bonus) and he can also challenge as many times as there are Independent Characters and units in combat with him thanks to the Red Sands rule, assuring he will at least pick some extra attacks during the course of the game. The obvious downsides are that, aside from butchering things in melee, Angron cannot do anything: he doesn't buff his army in any way aside 12" aura of Fearless, while other Primarchs bestow significant buffs to their armies, and of course he is one of the (if not THE) most fragile of the Primarchs, having only 5 wounds and 3+/4++ with nothing but unreliable 6+ FNP to back it up. So all in all he's much like Kharn on steroids: you reach melee - you're king, you get your transport blown up and then get kited across the table - you're fucked. The other problem he shares with Kharn is that he tends to annihilate anything he charges in one phase either through sweeping advance or just by killing everyone outright, which leaves him vulnerable to enemy fire afterwards.

==Angron VS other Primarchs:==
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
Primarch fighting, while fun to see isn't a very competitive thing to do as it'll usually tie up both Primarchs for the entire game without either of them dying (But with Angron this is less likely as your going to die or kill fast!), with that in mind this section is about how Angron fares against other Primarchs Mathammer wise. Please note that all the various abilities are taken into accounts when possible and the match-ups assume the Primarchs are the only ones involved in the fighting, so various abilities like Angron's "The Butcher's Nails" and Rampage do not provide any bonuses. The fights are supposed to be in a Vacuum for simplicity (So no Furious Charge for our hero...), but notes are added to make things clearer in particular instances. Also all of the Primarch use their most powerful weapons (because why have a contest if you don't do your best?)
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

* Angron VS Horus
**Horus hits 3 times, wounds 2.667 times, 1.111 after saves and FNP, and IWND will take that down to 0.778 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 4.444 times, 1.48 after saves, and IWND take it down to 1.148.
**Angron Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4 times, wounds 3.333 times, 1.111 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.778 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Even without taking into account Disabling Strike, Horus wins (though barely) as his superior wounds and saves makes him overcome the damage output of Angron. That's why I didn't include the statistics but with Disambling Strike acting Angron would fastly become unable to do any damage to Horus, making the victory a lot more certain.

* Angron vs Mortarion
**Mortarion hits 2.5 times, wounds 1.666 times, 0.833 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.5 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 3.555 times, 1.777 after saves, and IWND take it down to 1.222.
**Angron Round 2: hits 4 times, wounds 2.666 times, 1.333 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.778 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Mortarion just barely loses this fight by one turn as his extra wound almost allows him to outlast Angron.

* Angron vs Fulgrim
**Fulgrim hits 3.5 times, wounds 2.333 times (2.722 times if his warlord trait is Child of Terra), 1.166 (1.361) times after saves, 1.069 (1.248) after Feel No Pain (remember that half of the attacks that wound cause Instant Death) and IWND will take that down to 0.736 (0.915) wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 4.444 times, 1.48 after saves, and IWND take it down to 1.148.
**Angron Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4 times, wounds 3.333 times, 1.111 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.778 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**A really close fight: Angron does marginally more damage (if Fulgrim doesn't chose Child of Terra as his Warlord Trait) but is frailer (the irony!) with a weaker save and 1 less wound (I guess that's the catch to have nails inserted directly into your brain...) so he will need 6 (6.1) rounds to kill Fulgrim, with the latter also needing 6 (5.5), but since Fulgrim has higher initiative he'll strike first and kill Angron just slightly before he's killed. Also with Child of Terra there is almost no contest...

* Angron VS Ferrus
**Ferrus hits 2.5 times, wounds 2.083 times, 0.868 times after saves and FNP, and IWND will take that down to 0.535 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 3.555 times, 1.185 after saves, and IWND take it down to 0.852.
**Angron Round 2: hits 4 times, wounds 2.666 times, 0.889 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.556 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Again even if Angron does overall more damage, Ferrus is so tanky that he will kill Angron before he can kill him (on turn 9, while Angron need 10). Also Ferrus strikes before him thanks to strikedown, making his victory even more guaranted.

* Angron VS Konrad Curze
**Curze hits 3 times, wounds 2.25 times, 0.9375 wounds after saves and FNP and IWND will take that down to 0.604 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 4.444 times, 2.222 after saves, and IWND take it down to 1.889.
**Angron Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4 times, wounds 3.333 times, 1.667 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 1.333 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron easily wins, doing a lot more damage and receiving less in turn.
**Note: Curze can Hit & Run, but by doing so he would only gain one more attack, while allowing Angron to reset his Hatred, thus actually making himself dies even faster.

* Angron VS Vulkan
**Vulkan hits 2 times, wounds 1.666 times, 0.833 wounds after saves (ID Negates FNP) and IWND will take that down to 0.5 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 3.555 times, 1.185 after saves, and IWND take it down to 0.63.
**Angron Round 2: hits 4 times, wounds 2.666 times, 0.889 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.333 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Strangely enough, Vulkan wins through sheer resilience. Then again, he is immortal...

* Angron VS Lorgar
**Lorgar hits 2.5 times, wounds 2.083 times, 0.833 after saves and FNP and IWND will take that to 0.5 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 4 times, wounds 3.111 times, 1.555 after saves, and IWND take it down to 1.222.
**Angron Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4 times, wounds 3.333 times, 1.667 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 1.333 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron wins pretty easily.
**Note: against Lorgar Transfigured with Precognition Lorgar wins (Not as easily as the old version, but is still a monster).

*Angron VS Perturabo
**Perturabo hits 2 times, wounds 1.667 times, 0.69 wounds after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.361 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 4.444 times, 1.48 after saves, and IWND take it down to 1.148.
**Angron Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4 times, wounds 3.333 times, 1.111 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.778 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron wins.
**Note: in the turn after Perturabo actually wounds Angron (69% per round) he will most probably be blinded and then hammered to death. So if he can't kill him before that he is actually dead meat.

* Angron VS Alpharius
**Alpharius hits 2.917 times, wounds 1.7 times, 0.71 wounds after saves and FNP and IWND will take that down to 0.375 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 4.444 times, 2.222 after saves, and IWND take it down to 1.889.
**Angron Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4 times, wounds 3.333 times, 1.667 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 1.333 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron easily takes the win.

* Angron VS Rogal Dorn
**Dorn hits 2 times, wounds 1.5 times, 0.625 wounds after saves and FNP and IWND will take that down to 0.291 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 3.555 times, 1.777 after saves, and IWND take it down to 1.444.
**Angron Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4 times, wounds 2.667 times, 1.333 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 1 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron easily wins.
**Note: Rogal Dorn does not use Sundering Blow because it is inefficient in Primarch vs Primarch fights.

* Angron VS Corvus Corax
**Corvus hits 4 times (Scourge)/3 times (Shadow-walk), wounds 3 times (Scourge)/2.25 times (Shadow-walk), 1.25 wounds (Scourge)/0.9375 wounds (Shadow-walk) after saves and FNP and IWND will take that down to 0.917/0.604 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333/4.5 times, wounds 4.444/3.75 times, 2.963/2.5 after saves, and IWND take it down to 2.63/2.167.
**Angron Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4/3 times, wounds 3.333/2.5 times, 2.222/1.667 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 1.889/1.333 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron wins really easily as Corax is simply too frail for him.
**Note: differently from Curze, Corax would actually have the edge on the charge thanks to his Sire of the Raven Guard rule and his Hammer of Wrath/dual Archeotech Pistols. Also in a turn in wich blind goes off he could have the andvantage od Shadow-walk and scourge at the same times (plus more, 'cause he would hit on 3s). A though fight, but more on his style and it could make him win in extremis.

* Angron VS Roboute Guilliman
**Guilliman Round 1/2/3: hits 2.5 times, wounds 2.222 times, 0.926 times after saves and FNP, and IWND will take that down to 0.59 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Guilliman Round 4 and thereafter: hits 3.333 times, wounds 2.963 times, 1.234 times after saves and FNP, and IWND will take that down to 0.9 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 1: hits 5.333 times, wounds 4.444 times, 2.222 after saves, 1.722 after Armor of Reason re-roll and IWND take it down to 1.388.
**Angron Round 2: Angron hits 4 times, wounds 3.333 times, 1.667 times after saves, 1.167 after re-roll and IWND will take that down to 0.833 wounds at the start of the next turn.
**Angron Round 3 and thereafter: Angron hits 3 times, wounds 2.5 times, 1.25 after saves and 0.75 after re-roll. Then IWND take it down to 0.417
**Surprisingly, Guilliman win this fight in 8 rounds (Angron need 11 to kill him), 'for his resilience (Armour of Reason) coupled with Preternatural Strategy makes him outdamage Angron on the long run, even though initially it was the Red Angel to have the edge. Lets try this again when the rules for Daemon Primarch Angron come out...

* TLDR version: Angron is incredibly strong against "frail" primarchs, butchering them pretty fast, but struggle to keep up with the tanks (Vulkan, Ferrus, and even...[[Derp|Guilliman]]...) and being pretty frail doesn't do him any good. Also he is pretty vulnerable to Strikedown, Concussive or Blind, all of wich will severaly cripple his overall damage potential. Also, with his attacks maxed out he can destroy any other Primarch (even Lorgar with Precognition, though it is damn close) with the exception of...yeah, you guessed it right: Horus! Even though he will surely put a dent even in the Warmaster.
