The '''Devourers''' were a unit of [[Terminator]] [[Space Marine Honour Guard Squad|bodyguards]] to [[Angron]] during the [[Great Crusade]].
==Overview==
Unlike many other praetorian guards of other Primarchs, Angron held nothing but disdain for the Devourers and they were only assembled because of the recklessness Angron displayed in combat, going off into bloody rampages completely on his own. Angron and other [[World Eaters ]] like [[Khârn]] and [[Kargos]] considered the Devourers to be weak and overly concerned for their Primarch who cared nothing for them.{{Fn|1}} Indeed, the mightiest warriors of the World Eaters were able to best Devourers in single combat.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}}
Post-Heresy, [[Goghur]] of the Devourers temporarily took ''de facto'' control of the bulk of the World Eaters Legion, though his position remained unstable until the legion's unity was completely broken in the [[Battle of Skalathrax]].{{Fn|4a}}{{Fn|4b}} Later, former Devourer [[Tarugar]] named [[Devourers (Warband)|his warband]] the "Devourers".{{Fn|2}}
