I had an idea for an angron design, and I wanted to know your thoughts on it.
You see, i had an idea about Angrons overly broad frame compared to his fellow primarchs and why he is built this way.
1. his purpose: Angrons idea was never to be a fighter but instead a healer, but more specifically, a defensive primarch his healing used to keep things steady, basically a wall to keep the attacker from pushing forward.
2. Herbivorous animals: More specifically, the Bisons, my idea was that angrons body naturally developed similar to that of a bisons focusing on being safe from predators or, in this case, other gladiators by way of overwhelming size, and besides his nails this herbivorous mentality can also be used to described his more erratic behavior, and how he's constantly more on edge.
3. The build: 1 thing that I remember is that people say angron is short but wide, but if I remember correctly, there was a passage about pre daemon angron standing at Horus's height. So now that the height is out of the way, Onto the Frame. I believe Angrons neck-Back proportions may give him a hunched appearance somwhat, and maybe he could have a hunched over back due to him having to constantly look down during the gladiator pits to actually strike, that or angron just has really good vision, that are used for spread out sight, I also think angron would has I incredibly thick skin even compared to the other pimarchs to shrug off more violent damage.
4. I think angron would have a thick browridge and a far broader nose, similar to a neandrathal even if It's still Aquiline, they would still be overly broad to help with making his head a functioning shock absorber when combined with the hunched back/neck.
5. Really, just for the rest of angron, i believe his body took the herbivorous route of just speaking into overwhelming bulk and width, while normal, this is a good thing for one on one's, against smarter foes like how bison are done by wolves this is a disadvantage. Just like what we saw with leman and angron, angron most definitely would and could destroy leman in a 1 on 1, but when outsmarted and not going completely insane angron is at the disadvantage.
So overall, that's my idea for big Ron before the daemon stuff and could also be the explanation for why daemon angron is so hunched forward, as we do see many of the primarch always keep their og frame, so for angrons to be lore hunched I decided to maybe give it a more reasonable explanation than just khorne go berrrr.
But yeah, I'm gonna continue working on his design as a baseline, but I wanted to know if my idea for angry ron pre daemons proportions could be not to outlandish
So, uhh yeah, thanks for reading, and uhhh, sorry for the mile long ramble of text
I think your hc are very reasonable. i just draw him looking vaguely like guilliman because i find it humorous and he must of been normally attractive at some point to be popular, i draw him hunched over just because hes willfully holding a submissive posture from ingrained training not for any real biological reason though. Maybe khorne cementing his subconscious behaviours into a physical manifestation forever similar to the chains and being turned into the mythological figure that was an imprisoned bastard child if a king
