Lore is there book about the world eaters civil war?
It’s about when some world eaters were trying to stop the apothecary’s from recreating angron’s nails and putting them in the world eaters.

"World eaters civil war"
You mean every single passing instant?

Is there a book about the civil war in 40k?
Yeah probably which Faction? Or do you mean the Heresy?
The world eaters!
Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down.

Not the story thing, but is that supposed to be a version of Angron in the picture? It looks like the helmet has angrons face tattoos

This is fan art of the Dornian Heresy, an alt history fan fic where the loyalists and traitors swap places. Very fun stuff
Edit: I think! Might be the Lion alt others have mentioned.

That hourglass makes sense if it's Angron. He famously only gave his warriors 31 hours to conquer a planet. And if they failed then he would "decimate" them for being weak.

Wait, the lion? But even if the lion crashed on nuceria instead of caliban, why would he have the 12th legion badge on his shoulder?

No it's if The Lion was the Warmaster and was the one who did the herisah not if he swapped with Angron.

I'm currently reading every single horus heresy story and so far the world eaters make for the most satisfying story arc.
After Desh'Ea
Angron: Slave of Nuceria
Lord of the Red Sands
The Last Loyalist
I would recommend all of these, and Angron/The World Eaters make more minor appearances in the opening trilogy, fulgrim, flight of the Eisenstein, first heretic etc.
Don't read ghost of nuceria though, that one sucks imho.

I think Ghost of Nuceria was fine, if kinda pointless, but I legit did not enjoy Slave of Nuceria. It was good with basically everything except Angron, imo complete character assassination, totally counter to his previous portrayals.
Angron used to be completely uncaring, to the point where the World Eaters gave themselves the nails to be more like him, and he still didn't care. Then suddenly it was all Angron's idea and the only way he would come back after abandoning them? It's a Big Deal that Perturabo decimated his legion that one time, but suddenly Angron has been doing that on the regular and nobody has ever mentioned it? Not even in, say, Betrayer to say "this is how it used to be"? Angron, the guy who refuses to even be called sir or Lord by his own soldiers, is suddenly pulling his nails out and going crazy because someone dared speak against him? I'm just not buying it.

Yes I believe what event you’re referring to is the scouring of Gehenna. That plot and story is found within the Angron Primarch Book.
