RedwaKe Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 "The rank structure of the World Eaters under Angron remained simple and direct, the Primarch having little but scorn for the trappings of elites and pointless accolades and titles, refusing it is said to be addressed even as 'Lord', but he did see the virtue of a reliable and transparent chain of command in war. Such honors that the Legion and their master did believe in were warrior-marks of brotherhood and the scars of battle; these things transcended rank and spoke to the worth of the Space Marine beneath the armour. The sundered chains of one who had fought overwhelming odds and lived-an allusion that spoke to Angron's own bleak history, and the bloody handprint over the face or heart bestowed by a battle leader for a warrior whose fury had transcended that of his brothers-to the World Eaters these meant more than any mere bauble, title or trinket." Page 97 of Betrayal. There is also an example where the marine got the chain iconography after killing a superior officer in a duel. Hope this helps.
