David: With Angron, and characters like him, you don’t really look at them from the inside – from their perspective. My interest dipped a few times, but that might have been my mood more than any fault of what Guymer wrote. They could have been larger than life characters, but boiled down as they are to big, stompy, angry men, they sort of blur into one.

he’s a villain rewarded with anger, who then becomes a bit more angry, and makes people around him feel jolly cross as well. A novel that, surprisingly, isnt so much about Angron himself, but more that tragedy that surrounds him, and its impact on the XIIth legion. While it had its occasional neat imagery, the novel did not go all the way with the violence like it could have. On the surface you have the World Eaters and their battles against the Grey Knights, but below that you also see how being reunited with their father figure changes the World Eaters – no matter how much they might hate him. It's even got the same master/slave dynamic with a CSM and their female servant, if you're into that kind of thing.

Given that his name is in the title, you would expect him to be more prominent, and while he is central to the story, he is not the focus. Like Mike Brooks’ Harrowmaster this book shows just how a legion operates after 10,000 years of conflict - the appeal of the World Eaters to fallen Astartes is made clear, and Guymer also manages to plausibly show how so many of the original frothing maniacs manage to survive to continue the Long War.

All we ask is the product still be in its original packaging and you have your proof of purchase and we'll be happy to help. But also the breadth of work across the Horus Heresy series, as lots of authors have written about the Primarchs in lots of different situations, and the reading I did for both books put me in a good place to continue Angron’s story.You want the inside scoop on a Traitor Legion in the same vein as, say, the Night Lords books, here's your huckleberry. Angron’s a tricky one – he’s one of those “force of nature” characters that you can’t really empathise with or get inside the head of, so there’s definitely a challenge there.

He is wholly animalistic, wholly driven by Khorne, and there is nothing left of the Primarch that once was. That became one of my favourite parts – in another world, I could have written a novel about that story alone! David: Yes, especially Gorgon of Medusa , as that was also more about the Iron Hands around Ferrus Manus than the man himself, and how he affects those he leads. He’s been keeping the banner flying through Angron’s absence, even while the other lords spread out around the galaxy doing berzerk things in berzerk ways, and is a true believer in the heights the Legion could reach if it came together again.I just can’t help but feel there’s a fundamental flaw in the book, in that I just don’t find Angron interesting. There are a few nods to Aaron’s The Emperor’s Gift , as some of the events that took place there – and the consequences of Angron’s last banishment – have a big part to play in The Red Angel .
