“Last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship.....” Unknown author, Terra, M2 “Brothers, fellow warriors, We have sat in the shadows and have watched our legion descend into madness. We have endured the uncontrolled rage of our so called father. We have been shunned for our enduring loyalty to the emperor, banished to the corners of the galaxy to seek and destroy terrors that stalk the night. But our loyalty runs deeper, we lay down our lives for a vision vast in its ambition and millennia in its creation. A vision that is threatened by the actions of one who we once recognised as warmaster. It is clear to us now, that Horus has rebelled against the imperium. His reasoning is unclear but our gene father stands by his side, the loyal remnants of our legion lie slaughtered on the sands of Istvaan III. But we will not succumb to this heresy, and we will bring honour back to the name of our legion! We are shunned because we are feared and rightly so, for our fury comes from a deeper well, natural, innate, not manufactured by a fools design. We will endure and we will exact vengeance for those loyal to the XIIth, those murdered on Istvaan. For the emperor!” Endryd Haar. Extracts taken from a speech to loyal members of the XIIth legion under his command. M32. ——————————————— Greetings fellow warriors! Welcome to my new WIP log, I was intending to finish my iron hands and alpha legion projects before embarking on this, but my desire to start a new project has overcome my ability to focus. I’ve always found following what you enjoy in the hobby, rather than forcing yourself to do something you “should” do is more productive in the end! Ever since we saw the first images of betrayal and the models that accompanied the release, I have always wanted to start a world eaters force. The Typhon in glorious blue and white was such an awesome sight to behold! Even before that, I remember reading various index astartes articles about the traitor legions before their fall to chaos. Alas, I was distracted by bringing my 40k iron hands into the 30k universe and more recently by the beautiful metallic alpha legion airbrushed paint schemes. But now I return to what first drew me into the heresy, the XIIth legion. I’m a loyalist at heart (I know, I know), and reading about Endryd Haars background really got me inspired to produce a loyalist world eater force. He has so much character and the mystery of his background is intriguing. He is also a force to be reckoned with on the tabletop..... So this is the start of my loyalist world eater blog, with a twist. I will be using the blackshield rules to represent the force on the table. The Chymeriae rules (option 3: Fleet, fear and rage) really represent them well, still ferocious but subtlety different to their world eater kin and distrusted by everyone around them (no allies). I also couldn’t resist the modelling opportunity of having marines wielding chain axes and shotguns! I aim to slowly build a 2000 point list, which you can peruse here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361713-blackshields-endryd-haar/?do=findComment&comment=5472970 The force will be modelled and painted in the time just after Nuceria and the legions reorganisation after the discovery of Angron. So they will be painted in the blue and white of the XIIth legion. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am! Cadmus.

My place for all things Space Marine! I have started to built a small force for the Horus Heresy, after having abandoned Space Marines for almost a decade now. The Nuncio Vox in the new MK6 kit looks too 40k in my eyes , so I have built my own version, for my two tactical squads.

+++ ORDO MALLEUS REPORT N0230716X9237 +++ +++ HERETIC ASTARTES WARBAND REGISTRY +++ +++ NAME: IDOLATERS OF THE RED ANGEL +++ +++ INQUISITORIAL DESIGNATION: A12993 +++ +++ YEAR: 099.M42 +++ +++ AUTHOR: [REDACTED] +++ The Heretic Astartes force A12993 know themselves as the Idolaters of the Red Angel, and are named for their fallen gene-sire, the Primarch Angron. They have come to the attention of the Inquisition in the wake of the 13th Black Crusade, where they have appeared to have been originally a part of the Despoiler's war host. In the time since the Crusade, they have launched attacks throughout the Imperium from an unknown location in the Cicatrix Maledictum. The aim of this report, and its attachments, is to profile the current strength of the Idolaters and document the atrocities committed by the heretics, in the hope that this information may be used to combat these traitors in the future. The Idolaters of the Red Angel are suggested to be a newly formed warband, having been drawn together from a number of dwindling World Eaters splinter groups, united in their cause by the Chaos Lord Sevrax Drato. Drato is a heretic in the truest sense of the word, being fully devoted to the Chaos God Khorne, and who believes his Primarch Angron to be Khorne’s messiah; the most potent form of his god’s ideals made manifest. He and his warband seek to emulate Angron, so that they too may one day be as close to Khorne as their gene-father. Part of their heretical zealotry is the ritual painting of their traditionally red helms bone-white before battle, to remind each warrior of his duty to the skull throne, and that their own skulls can also be offered as bounty to the Blood God. +++ PERSONNEL FILE +++ +++ PLANET OF ORIGIN: UNKNOWN +++ +++ SERIAL NUMBER: UNKNOWN +++ +++ ALIAS: RAXUS THE UNWORTHY +++ +++ PRIORITY FOR ELIMINATION: PRIORITAS MAGNA +++ The heretic known as Raxus is believed to have once been a Company Champion of an unknown World Eaters Echelon. Among the members of his legion, he won great fame during the Horus Heresy on Istvaan V, by defeating the infamous Raven Guard Captain [REDACTED] in single combat. As the Heresy progressed, and the World Eaters became more depraved, Raxus sought the favour of Khorne with increasing fervour. However, despite a number of dark exploits, it would appear Raxus could not draw the attention of his bloody patron. This came to a head during the War on Skalathrax, where Raxus perceived his failings in the war as the impetus for the fracturing of the legion. He sent himself into exile, allegedly vowing not to return to his fellow traitors until Khorne had found him worthy as a vassal. All records of Raxus then cease for ten thousand years. His next appearance was not until M42, where he has been seen leading hosts of berserkers into battle on behalf of the Chaos Lord Sevrax Drato. It is unclear whether Raxus fulfilled his vow, or how he entered Drato’s service. Survivor reports of Raxus in action are rare and unreliable, as he is only observed from afar: presumably, those who witness him up close do not survive his berserker rage. He is said to wield a plasma pistol into battle, accompanied by a large chainaxe, which is rumoured to contain the essence of a foul Daemon. It is the judgement of this Inquisitor that the elimination of Raxus be designated prioritas magna.

There are lots of useful topics about the World Eaters Legion and Chaos Space Marines in general scattered across the Bolter & Chainsword. While most will occur in this forum and in the various Chaos Space Marines army lists sub-forums, other related topics are bound to spring up elsewhere, especially in the Forge forums. Since we can't pin every useful topic, this topic is intended to provide a handy resource for players of the World Eaters and other Heretic Astartes warbands devoted to Khorne. Similarly, this resource index provides a handy list of links to external sites, videos, etc. about the World Eaters Legion and Khornate Heretic Astartes. If you know of a topic, external site, or video that you think should be added to this resource listing, please reply with a link to that topic, external site, or video. If you see a link that you think is no longer relevant, feel free to provide your reasons for removing it in a reply. We'll do our best to keep this resource listing updated. Also keep in mind the tags function and how those provide a handy method by which members can search for related topics.

http://eternalhunt.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/we_banner_02.png *Sons of the Great Twelfth Legion, your brothers call you forth so that you may roar your oaths of honor upon the sands of the arena one last time. Though we are a legion fractured, a tide of blood shall flow through the segmentum, as the get of Angron band together among equals. Come, and boast of your head taking, so that the galaxy may know who stands against them, wrought red in the entrails of their greatest warriors. We are the Sons of the Twelfth legion, and we shall have blood!* http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/661/QcUhqA.jpg (To all of the World Eaters of Bolter and Chainsword, both full and part time, loyalist or traitor, pre or post heresy, we invite you to join us in our little community project to document the full might of our great legion. To assist and entertain new and old World Eaters alike, we ask that you step forward and proclaim the name, deeds, company number and commander of your little section of our legion to be recorded here in what will be an ongoing roster organized by your company number if pre-heresy and just tossed in there all willy nilly if post heresy (just like the real post heresy Twelfth!). A few of us have even gone first to provide a good template. We'll be updating the roster in the first post as long as the mods will allow so that we may record all twelfth legion faithful for future projects and other fun stuff in our happy little community.) -- I am Flint 13, and I am the blade itself; wrought red upon the blooded sands. As a proud daughter of Angron, I command the 28th Company of the Twelfth legion, the Children of Cuth Vasi. "Woe be to the enemies of the Cuth Va'san, for their cities shall crumble and their skies shall bleed with the ashes of their fallen." -- I am Jaspcat, and I stand as a Son of Angron. I command the 14th Company of the Twelfth legion, The Slaves of Anor, the breachers of walls and the lineage of Dalkeith the armoured bane. --I am KrautScientist, and I command the World Eaters' 4th assault company, "Khorne's Eternal Hunt". Though our legion might be an empty shell of its former glory, we still endure. As was taught to us by Angron, our lord and father, we hunt. We fight. We kill. And we still have our honour. "In the endless cold between the stars, there is only the hunter and his prey. All that remains is the hunt, for only the hunt is eternal." -- I am Relict and I stand a proud Son of Angron. I command the LXXVII Battle Company, III Echelon, XII Legion - the Iron Devourers. "The Emperor created us as tools to be blunted and then discarded. The Warmaster has delivered us from that fate. From this day forward, we march as a part of his grand design - one company, one will, many minds. The dogs of the Emperor shall curse our name and dread our coming, for we are the Iron Devourers and none shall find us wanting. To war, my brothers!" - Centurion Voss, Captain of the 77 Battle Company, Battle of Isstvan V **Who needs the Codex Astartes?

Try the Khornate Warlord Personality Test **A Record of Blood and Brass** "Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer." —Captain Khârn of the World Eaters Legion's 8th Assault Company, from his unpublished treatise The Eighteen Legions (Pre) Heresy era 1.
