The World Eaters, worshipping Khorne, are the angriest group of marines ever, far and above the anger of the Angry Marines. Their Primarch's name is a pun on the fact that they're so damn angry (Angron). They use any kind of ECKSBAWKS HUEG melee weapon capable of putting Terminator armor to shame, a pistol, their Berzerker-styled power armor and Khorne's everlasting rage, which turns them angry beyond all reason that they simply refuse to run away when spilling blood for the blood god, even if they're hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned by 100-1. It is unknown who pilots their tanks but they still have transports and there are Khornate Titans. It is very unlikely that the Khornate marines are driving their vehicles like their loyalist counterparts; as with their anger they will most probably use a Rhino as a makeshift powerfist instead of a transport and if somehow made to use a Rhino, they'll probably end up killing the driver and tear their way out of the vehicle onto the battlefield. ("We need a new driver, this one is dead!")
Legion History
Before they were reunited with their Primarch, Angron, they were known as the War Hounds. When they were reunited with their Primarch, they changed their name to the World Eaters, the 12th Legion reunited. Angron added implants and neurosurgery (partial lobotomization) to remove the ability to feel or care about fear, but increased their aggression to large amounts. The Emperor banned this practice when the World Eaters exterminated all life on a planet in one night. Horus, seeking to turn the Primarchs to his cause, didn't have to do much to get Angron to side with him, as all it took was to tell him that the Emperor was weak and to appeal to his martial pride. They were on Isstvan III, and Isstvan V, where Horus led the loyalists into a trap. When the Legions of Horus attacked the Imperial Palace, the World Eaters were at the forefront of the Chaos Marines, seeping into the breach and killing the most inside the palace. Sadly, they lost when Horus was killed aboard his flagship, and the World Eaters with Angron fled to the Eye of Terror, where Angron was elevated to Daemon Prince.
World Eaters Schism and Khârn
So one day the world eaters are fucking shit up, as usual, on this planet called Skalathrax. They're just about to kill these last few Emperors Children dick heads when some faggots (Emperors Children spies) start complaining about how cold it's getting and they have to go inside before they freeze their balls off. Before anyone knew what was what Kharne manned the fuck up, got out his mighty axe of faggot-slaying, and showed those ass holes what time it was. He killed them extra hard. He killed them so hard there was blood everywhere and it was awful. Even World Eaters started pissing themselves, so they all ran away. And Kharne was like "come back here you fucking faggots" and they were like "no you'll kill us." So Kharne chased them all around this freezing demon world while the last few Emperors Children got the fuck out of dodge, and ever since the legion has been divided between kharne, and faggots who run away from Kharne. The end.
Catch Phrase
World Eaters use the most used catch phrase in 40k next to "WAAAAAAAAGH!!!!" or something for the Emperor. They scream BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD in combat, while taking skulls for the skull throne.

General need to know information
The World Eaters are all Berserkers according to the flop of a codex that is Chaos Space Marines 4.0, thanks to the partial lobotomization. They use Chain Axes, which are just close combat weapons to 4.0 now, and used to be some of the most brutal hand to hand units in the game, but lost their feel no pain, and have to be mechanized or they won't be effective. For Lords, the mark of Khorne with wings turn them into the best Lords available to use, mainly with a Daemon weapon or with Dual Lightning Claws. However, because GW sucks at maintaining army lists besides Codex: Ultramarines, everyone will try to argue with you that two Lash Princes are the optimal choice to take. Also, the World Eaters killed all their Librarians and Sorcerers in the name of Khorne.
The Helmets that Berserkers wear, are representations of the Khorne Skull icon, or the mark of Khorne. It's like a cool stylized eight thing. Khorne's favorite number is eight, so every Khornate Warband transfigures it's marines into squads of 8 and it's multiples. Scary shit.
It is said that if an Angry Marine would turn to Khorne, that a World Eater would easily notice the laughable poser shit and tell them to fuck off until their anger breaks such pedestrian limits as infantile swearing and rude hand gestures and anachronistic 'hip' slang.
However, this has never been proven, and will likely not be proven, due to the fact that Angry Marines tend to kick every mother-fucker who looks funny in the balls and World Eaters kill everyone who looks at them period with a FUCKHUEG chainsaw axe.
Summary
Ruthless, manly, bloody, and awesome. They are the most angry and brutal Space Marines out there, even if their latest rules suck.
Imperial equivalent are the Flesh Tearers, Space Wolves and Black Templars in the canon, and Angry Marines on this site.
