Brother-chaplain Astador Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Guess what I'm going to say yet? All the depictions I've ever seen of Angron have always seemed...off to me, in one way or another. Be it he has too much ornamentation, has hair or plain just doesn't look mean enough. So, when I saw the first stills from the new Batman movie, I saw someone instantly recognisable in my head. The way Bane is portrayed in the movie was almost exactly how I have imagined him in my mind http://filmjamblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/bane1.jpg http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2012/08/bane-the-dark-knight-rises-back-img.jpg Tell me if that is not the perfect image for the World Eaters Primarch? Completely intimidating, physically impressive, even charismatic in his own way. The second image to me just completely reminds me of the scene in which Khârn first meets the raging Angron. He's always been one of my favourite Primarchs but I've never thought he's been done justice. I will (when I have the time) be modelling my own version of Angron, and his head will be heavily inspired by the above. And his armour will be minimalistic. Anybody else think Bane makes the perfect Angron?

Brother_VanBriesen Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I Like Bane but I just can't get over his mask, it looks absurd to me. After watching Spartacus and seeing Theocles, The Shadow of Death, the only thing I could think of was, "and that's what Angron would be like." http://content7.flixster.com/photo/13/76/38/13763845_gal.jpg http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb57525/spartacus/images/6/6c/Th_screm.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/046/5/8/spartacus___theokoles___shadow_of_death_by_calumcharles-d4pst5l.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258696-angrons-look/#findComment-3145858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalon Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm sure I don't have to point this out, but obviously neither are anywhere near physically massive enough.

WolfGuardVortek Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I've always space marines and Primarchs as having the same body proportions as human just scaled up. As in take a UFC fighter, boxer or a Special forces dude(or some thats actually capable of fighting and not a glorified male model, then scale to the right size.

Pulse Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Anybody else think Bane makes the perfect Angron? Bane is too measured, too calculating, too clever to play Angron. Angron i'm sure is clever as all Primarchs are but his rage overtakes him and so causes him to be less focussed. As for a look, you can't get much better, Bane looked and sounded awesome.

Chaplain ChonkE Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Angron i'm sure is clever as all Primarchs are but his rage overtakes him and so causes him to be less MORE focussed. Corrected that for ya :) It might narrow his thoughts down to a singularity-like point though. A rage so focused, a bloodlust so tight, so controlled that nothing can escape its pull and all other thoughts, emotions and needs fall to the wayside. Mazlow's needs are right out the window. This is not a blind rage but fuel for a living breathing engine of destruction.

Blood Angel Scout Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Would tend to disagree about Angron having a blind rage after listening to the Butcher's Nails, if anything Chaplain ChonkE's post pretty much has it spot on in so much as it is pure rage harnessed and used in a calculated form...the results of that form imply the beserker hulk smash type concept...however the key is the more rage/fury he builds, the calmer in his mind he is.

Ilbram_Harker Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Guys, there are more characters out there that are more psychotically agitated than friggin Theocles and Bane put together.

I don't know about this...the part i nit pick at is the charismatic description. Angron Is Khorne personified right? He is THE berzerker, the thrashing, mad, bloodthirsty Daemon prince, of Khorne, i don't think charismatic does it tbh Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258696-angrons-look/#findComment-3153130 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arachnid99 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well as you've written the next Angron book I guess you get to decide what he looks like. Everyone it's official Angron is Stone Cold Steve Austin with dreadlocks.

Demus Ragnok Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 First off the chap that played Bane in that movie had to "bulk up to 170 pounds" to play the part. (I think I read that somewhere) Bane is a physically massive individual. The movie portrayal was a joke. He whooped, I mean WHOOPED the Batman. One of the greatest human combattants in comic book history ever. On topic, I haven't read everything written on Angron, but the picture of him in my head from reading FOTE when the war council is described is this. Horus, for contrast, is much taller than the average man. Lets say ten feet tall just for example, but Horus is proportional, in peak human form like one of those statues of the greek gods. And then there is Angron who is almost as tall as Horus but much "broader". I picture him as a power lifter, where Horus and some of the other brothers are maybe decathletes. Angron is a mass of unyielding muscle. I think of him like the incredible hulk but with a chainaxe or three.

NO BLOOD - NO FOUL! Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The guy in the picture by Brother_vanBries is actually kinda like how I imagined Angron. I saw Prometheus last week, and the makers look just like how I imagined spacemarines to look. At least raven guard marines. :devil: They were even as tall as a marine should be. http://blogs.suntimes.com/scanners/assets_c/2012/06/promengineer-thumb-510x259-48834.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258696-angrons-look/#findComment-3156114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Actually, those reminded me much more of the Night Lords. Then again, both those Legions look very similar physically, so I suppose it isn't that big of a deal.

Also those guys are alittle to big, they are more Primarch size. Marines are roughly 7 to almost 9 feet tall. Primarch's except for alph and omeg are 10' plus.

Odsox Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 ...He whooped, I mean WHOOPED the Batman. One of the greatest human combattants in comic book history ever. ...only after conspiring to create a chain of events that would leave the Batman so mentally and physically fatigued that he didn't stand a chance of strategising a way of defeating the way larger, stronger Bane, who also had the drop on Bats by infiltrating Wayne Manor. Outside of that chain of events, Bane has had his Luchadore-lookin' arse handed to him by Bats more than once. People never seem to remember that Bane was cunning enough to set up the fight on his own terms. It wasn't just because he was hench. Anyway. http://justingunter.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/boagrius.jpg But with sci-fi dreadlocks. Hey, that's Nathan Jones! Bloody good choice, that dude is MASSIVE. I remember when he showed up in Warrior King, that was a really well-done entrance. Proper terrifying, especially considering he was nearly two feet taller than Tony Jaa! Hahahah, oh, good times...

Ethrion Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I can't remember in which HH story it was written but the description of Angron being a cracked a broken image of noble features really stands out for me as being the best way to describe him. Although, it's hard to find a perfect picture that marries barely contained rage within a noble patrician countenance...

Yodhrin Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I've always space marines and Primarchs as having the same body proportions as human just scaled up. As in take a UFC fighter, boxer or a Special forces dude(or some thats actually capable of fighting and not a glorified male model, then scale to the right size. But they're not possessed of the same proportions, they're continually described as being massively over-muscled, with huge barrel-chests, thick necks, forearms as thick as a Catachan's thigh etc etc. Even accounting for the usual hyperbole that's involved whenever people write about Marines, we're talking more like the height of a tall basketball player combined with the thickset build of a World's Strongest Man participant who's been eating Steroid Chews(Now with extra Steroids!) since birth. The Primarchs, however, are more varied in build, so Angron's is up for grabs to some extent. I'd say more over-muscled pro-wrestler(*snigger*, "pro" :devil: ) than UFC cagefighter, the latter tend to be more "fit" muscled than "bodybuilder" muscled.

The Nightmare of Bogga Row as Boagrius/Angron. Guy is an Aussie! In that movie, bumped in Brad Pitt playing Achilles/Sanguinius. Reckon Hardy's Bain is a pretty good representation of Angron - not perfect by any means, but good in many respects.
