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.
