Sun Reaver Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I think it doesn't matters as much to me how he physically looks, cause that has been covered quite a bit. Bald with gold armor, possibly with covered in red blood, with those little leather strips you see on roman armor. I think the key is to capture his character, which is much more complex than your average world eater. Originally, Angron was a slave. He rebelled, created an army of his fellow slaves, and was ready to die alongside them. but then along comes the emperor who spirits him away while the rest of his army gets slaughtered. He had to be angry about that, and I imagine Angron as this perpetually simmering warrior, always struggling with the belief that he, in serving the emperor, has simply traded one form of slavery for another. There needs to be this constant anger in his features, like a tension that never leaves his shoulders. Every step he takes is filled with menace and anger, he stomps when he walks and he never has his head held high. When he talks, its to bark orders, and he doesn't nod or salute, just glare. When he leads, its from the front, in amongst his warriors, but he doesn't use speeches or grand examples to inspire them. Thats not his way, because beneath it all, he doesn't share his brothers devotion or loyalty. He is doing this because he has been ordered to. But there are moments, when he is in the thick of the fighting, that a smile comes to his face, and for a moment, you might hear him laugh. He can almost be content, because he is thinking back to when he was fighting for his freedom, and the blood he spilt was in the name of a cause he believed in, so much more so than the imperial one. But then the moment fades and he is drawn back to real world, and the feeling of the imperial aquila that hangs from a chain around his neck or is tattooed into his fleash. Just another mark to show that he is someone's property. That is what I think of when I envision him. Spot on. Sun Reaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trel Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I don't see Angron as having tattoos or a fanciful hairdo, he doesn't have time for such decoration. I imagine him with a noble face, one that could naturally inspire leadership, but twisted by a scowl and scars. I see him having dull, gray eyes with his temper simmering just behind them, like a blast furnace door. He would be unable to ever sit still, perpetually fidgeting, flexing his hands, keeping his shoulders loose, looking around. I imagine he's unfamiliar with his own intelligence. He learns things quickly and doesn't understand why. He has a thousand thoughts running through his head and gets frustrated when others can't keep up. I imagine he knows he should be able to relax and calm-down, but when he tries, he can't and gets even more frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Taurus Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 What about this one- from the Collected Visions series? http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:Angron_Pre-Heresy.jpg I agree the one above and this: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/image...orld_Eaters.jpg are the best depictions of Angron. Especially the latter, I mean look at him, THAT is Angron, he is feral and intimidating yet his face has some air of beauty being flawless and perfect and therefor Primarch-like. I love how the energy of his primarch power seems to be flowing out of his amour and engulfing his face. But I must say that Aerion the Faithful has him very good, if you look closely, Aerion the Faithful's rendition resembles the one in the collected visions capturing Angron's essence. It's a shame the guy had to turn traitor. cheers EDIT: I apologise for the threadomancy but I just love Angron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulse Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Predator hair..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Taurus Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Predator hair..... Well it is reminiscent of that, but after all it is said that he had a neo-cortex implant in his skull with many cables protruding from behind his head. How else would one represent that if not with many cables protruding from his head... and as I write this I notice how stupid that sentence is, if essentially correct. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasoroth Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I've always imagined him as struggling to maintain control over his temper. He's the guy you work with, who can barely hide how much he hates everyone. The Imperium and his father expect him to act like a Primarch and he wishes to fulfill that example but he knows, that as a result of his surgeries and perhaps his own nature, that this is a difficult expectation to fulfill and so he constantly wrangles with being true to the Imperium and being true to himself. This is perhaps why Angron enjoys combat so much. In those brief moments of blood letting he does not have to contemplate over his identity, he does not need to think. Just kill.

Iron_Adam Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 theres some real good pics in visions of the horus heresy book, thats my frame of reference. Also, i feel really sorry for the terran marines who joined him. the first thing he does when they meet is get them all hooked up with implants that cause pain. Marine: " My lord we pledge allegiance to you in every aspect of our lives." Angorn: "K... umm, take this, and put it in your head." Marine: "whats this my leige? will it give us better sight, is it for easier communication?..." Angorn: " nope, makes you wanna destroy everything because your always in debilitating pain." Marine: " k what now?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Taurus Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I took the freedom to remove the pic for less space consumption Capt. Taurus Dear Koremu, as nicely drawn and beautiful that picture may be, for a Primarch (no matter which one) it is simply insulting. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_son_of_Dorn Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (Pre Heresey) Well I immagine him Bald. a tad shorter than the other primarchs but very hench (even amongst primarch sizes) wearing white armour with bronze trim, Bronze Pauldrons with a gold eteched set of world eater teeth. a khornate styled helmet, plenty of facial scaring, maybe some thin wires pulsing under his skull to denote his implant (not the 4 inch armoured cables sticking out of his head like Pertuabo thats just odd lol) white eyes with red pupils, a tribal tatoo of some kind on his face, teeth sharpend down to fangs very batterd lips, and a twitch in his left eye.

edinburger Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I always imagined Angrons size to be smaller than actually described in history. something that has became a myth. I actually like to imagine Angron as some one with small man syndrome. I have alsways seen Robert Carlyles rendition of Franco Begbie as angron. Just my 0.02p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marine: " k what now?" The Angron short story 'After Desh’ea' in Tales of Heresy is quite interesting as it gives you an idea of the reverence a Space Marine had for their Primarch. From how Khârn treats Angron while getting beaten half to death I have no reason to doubt they would have gone through the surgery without question or hesitation.

Based on Galaxy in Flames. Legends and time are irrelevant, HH novels are quite factual and tainted by neither the passage of time nor hyperboles.

edinburger Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Based on Galaxy in Flames. Legends and time are irrelevant, HH novels are quite factual and tainted by neither the passage of time nor hyperboles. But also you have to take into account the subserviance in general that the astares have for thier primarchs. In Galaxy in flames Loken doesnt describe any primarch in a negitive light. I wasnt saying that Angron is Short in comparison to say a human or an Astares but is short compaired to his brothers, i dont have the book to hand at the moment. I Just always thought of him as muscular lean psychotic and shorter than his brothers. Anyway he reminds me of Franco Begbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
