Angron holding Gorefather and its twin, Gorechild.

Gorefather and its twin, Gorechild, were two huge chainaxes used during the Great Crusade by Angron, Primarch of the World Eaters Legion.^[1]

Gorefather was destroyed during the Battle of Armatura when Angron became entombed by a fallen building and was forced to use Gorefather and Gorechild to climb out, the damage ruined their teeth-tracks.^[3a] Khârn would recover Gorechild, despite the World Eaters views on "inherited weapons" and had it repaired as his personal weapon.^[3b] Gorefather was not recovered. Gorechild is now notorious as the weapon of Khârn the Betrayer, Angron's former captain.^[1]
