The infamous World Eaters, a legion originally hailed as the War Hounds, under the XIIth Legion of the Emperor's Space Marines. Initially, a symbol of pride and loyalty, the World Eaters succumb to the malevolent energies of Chaos, specifically aligning themselves with Khorne, the Chaos God of war and bloodshed.

The legion's descent into chaos is traced back to their Primarch Angron, who was one of the first to join the traitor Horus during the seminal events of the Horus Heresy. Angron’s own brutal nature and tragic past heavily influence the legion, emphasizing brutality over finesse in their combat tactics.

We explore the legion's brutal campaigns across the galaxy, where they leave behind only death and destruction, demonstrating their role as one of the most feared assault troops.

The climax of their fall comes during the Horus Heresy, where they play a pivotal role.
