[[File:Angron_Primarch_World_Eaters.jpg|300px|right|thumb|[[Angron]] holding {{PAGENAME}} Gorefather and its twin, [[Gorechild]]]]'''{{PAGENAME}}Gorefather''' and its twin, [[Gorechild]], were two huge [[chainaxe]]s used during the [[Great Crusade]] by [[Angron]], [[Primarch]] of the [[World Eaters]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]. It was made from the teeth of [[Mica-dragon]]s of the [[Luther Macintyre IX]] planet.{{Fn|1}}
Gorefather was later 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, damaging their teeth-tracks{{Fn|2a}}. Angron would cast them aside because of this, but [[Khârn]] would recover Gorechild, despite the World Eaters' views on "inherited weapons", and had it repaired as his personal weapon{{Fn|2b}}. Gorefather was not recovered and Gorechild has served as Khârn's weapon ever since.{{Fn|1}}
Sometime after the [[Horus Heresy]] however, Gorefather was somehow recovered and repaired to its former glory. The relic chainaxe now has such immense importance to the World Eaters that numerous wars have been fought between rival [[Chaos Warband|Warbands]], seeking to claim it for themselves.{{Fn|3}}
