Angron might have had an ability to take pain from others, but he was never meant to be a healer look at those chosen to be in his legion from Terra. The most aggressive, most competitive, and most brutal barbarians clans were chosen for the 12th none of those traits sound like they belong to a healer. The emperor build the legions to the point where the terran born marines would adapt almost perfectly to those born on the primarchs world it would be strange if he did it for everyone else but not angron

The story of his sons nails only makes it more sad. They only got the nails in an attempt to make Angron care for them, without knowing it only made him hate them more.

Reminder that hawk boy banished Angron during siege of Terra by ripping the nails out - after trying and failing to kill him in dozen of more conventional ways.

The fact they knew Angron was fucked but simply thrust him back into combat with a legion now as his own disposable tool... if only big E had built a fundamental bond of honour between himself and Angron / saved his family... Angron and the world eaters are easily one of the greatest tragedies of all 30k/40k lore.

Angron was doomed to fall there is no question about it it would have been a kinder fate for the big E to just end him as quickly as he can and never let it be know to all that he was found or make a lie to his sons that angron died protecting his battle brothers on naceria to try and instill the honor aspect to the warhounds.

What I find interesting about angron was his whole “taking the pain away and putting it upon himself” makes a lot more sense in the context of his legion that I think a lot of people are missing the point. Because, you have a complete legion dedicated to melee, and enjoy being in the front line. But what’s gonna be commonplace when you’re in the frontline? Injuries. A lot of injuries. Angron’s true purposes would’ve been to helping his soldiers, likely reinforced with the apothecaries to help tend to the severely wounded, like angron taking the pain away from a space marine that just narrowly survived losing all his limbs whilst the apothecary stabilizes the wounded space marines condition. It’s all the more reason why I find angron sad. He could’ve been a great aid if he hadn’t the butchers nails implanted and sacrificed to Khorne

And even with the butchers nails, if the Big E hadn't been a massive dick and just helped his gladiator brothers I don't think he would have fell to Chaos...And I reckon there's someone somewhere or there's an STC to remove the nails.

The problem isn't removing the nails, it's replacing the missing chunks of brain. Emperor I believe can do a little time manipulation, he could probably near-pause time and remove the nails and put him on life support, but how do you add brain? Maybe via a clone or keep him on life support long enough to regen, but there's no telling how long or successful either would be. Really he should've figured out a backdoor way to trick whatever sensors detect him fighting and trigger it so it constantly thinks he's in battle. It still would've slowly killed him, but he'd suffer less. Merciful thing would've been to let him die in his rebellion Or idk, since the Emperor has such immense power, maybe stick his soul in a jar and clone a new body. There probably were a few options

Well that’s because they could rationalise it to themselves, not everyone who got the nails turned into a babbling madman, and they knew their versions of the nails were inferior to the original, so they probably assumed they’d improve with each implant It doesn’t quite work like that, as shown in the 40k Lion book, a son of Sanguinius (not a Blood Angel but I can’t remember which chapter he hailed from) chose to be a traitor and was desperately trying to get the nails, when he finally got them he murdered his most loyal retainer and only “friend” in a blind rage, regrets it for a moment, then forgets it and her entirely as the nails take over However in the book he speaks to an original World Eater and dude was like “yeah you REALLY don’t want this” and he actually kept denying him for the implantation, but eventually another WE dies and he gets the ones from the dead dudes body

We need an Angron Green Mile movie... the ending will be a bit dark though 😅

His primarch healing factor was regenerating his brain but just barely slower than the Nails were snaking further in

Fun fact the butchers nails was actually quite the controversial thing in the legion with some Astartes for and some against......... The against ones were never heard from again (plus because of the nails taking angrons special sauce the legionaries weren't auto loyal to him and alot in fact didn't like him as shown by the fact that world eaters had the most loyalists to purge at Istvan

The Second Compliance of Ghenna was where the World Eaters took care of the ones who didn't want the nails. It's ironic that this planet was supposed to "save" the legion since this small coup was trying to find a way to get rid of Angron's nails but in reality, found a way to replicate the nails to the legion entirely therefore damning the legion.

@@TheBlastmeister That’s why I also said “repair his brain” and put it before getting the Nails out. Put in new bits of grey matter while Angron’s unconscious and then take out the Nails.

Everyone says the Nails were the reason of why Angron was the way he was.....no...it was the Eldar for sending a kill squad against him. That squad, which all of them perished, wounded Angron to the point of being captured by slavers. That moment of trying to prevent a future lead Angron down that path of damnation.

If Angron and Vulcan were together (AS IN IN PERSON, BROTHER TAKING CARE OF BROTHER NOT THAT WAY YOU SICK FUCKS) I'm sure they'd have a whole segmentum in peace and a massive legion

I work in a comic book shop, and I love seeing silly art panels from the funny books.

I blame the emperor, shoulda named him "Healergon" instead of Angron

Just imagine if for example Guilliman was able to conquer Nuceria BEFORE the implantation of the Butcher's Nails (yes, Nuceria will be part of 500 worlds of Ultramar) - we could have an amazing bromance of 2 very adequate primarchs, and the whole Horus Heresy would be so much easier.

They all got the butchers nails too. So lol @ them

The issue with Angron's Nails, compared to the Nails that his legion (and the other slaves on his world) had, was that Angron's in particular were THE original Nails that all others were developed from. They were the prototypes. And where these First Nails would have killed a normal human in maybe hours, Angron withstood them thanks to his Primarch makeup. But there was a problem; the more the Nails dug in, the more his own brain tried to fight back and undo the damage caused by them. The push-pull of these two things caused such intense strain that eventually, even Angron's genetic strength would have started failing. And because his brain had 'grown back' so much after each time the Nails sung, they were deeply blended with each other to the point where they didn't know if they could remove them safely. The Emperor of course, just went. "Hm. Leave them in. We'll just use him as weapon instead of a general. A broken tool can still be used for other purposes, if not perfectly." And condemned him to a slow, agonizing death over decades.

I can’t remember exactly but in one of the books about when he was still a slave but didn’t they talk about how all the slaves would essentially group cuddle angron and he would take their pain/ mental anguish?

I wonder how shit would’ve turned out if angron and the lion had there planet’s switched

Angron and Vulkan could had been the best bros .. sadge story

The worst thing is that it’s likely the emperor could’ve removed the nails but chose not to because Ang was entirely against the emperor. And unlike Horus, Ang would’ve won.

The dark gods chose their targets well

angron if he had a good childhood would have likely stayed loyal to the throne without a second thought,i feel horrible for any traitor who crossed him

primarchs can regenerate btw. Emperor could have removed the nails over a long time and allow him to heal. He didn't because he though it more important to get his son to work before he doed instead of wasting time on saving hi..

I think it’s mentioned in one of the books that nothing can remove the butchers nails as they have more or less eroded angron’s brain - taking them out would have rendered him a vegetable or dead. while angron himself would probably rather be dead than stuck in a state like his current agony of in a vegetative state, the emperor thought he was more useful alive, granting him no peace of death.

the thing I find so annoying is that Big E was capable of making the primarchs, and was probably around for the Dark Age of Technology, but couldn't try to remove them. Just nope, nothing we can do! toss him in the trash, and treat him thusly

Agron is a support character that got overbuffed. Doc main incarnate

I agree with the second part, but let's put 2 things out there to consider 1: The Emperor is an IMMENSELY powerful psyker, could've stopped Angron's body in time so his brain didn't break while the nails were removed and had him on INTENSE life support so he could regenerate. 2: He MADE Angron, so he should theoretically be able to fix him at least somewhat.

I wish we couldve seen the how this couldve gone

I still call bs on his backstory because about every other primarch either crash landed Superman style and got a loving family, or were op from day one and terrorized entire planets or got into fist fights with unspeakable horrors. You're really gonna tell me that an adult Angron couldn't take over a planet? Poppycock, I say, balderdash.
