After all, they've already imposed their will far more readily and harshly on other planets, and you would think making a good impression on one of the emperor's sons would be worth far more to them than the compliance of a single world.

There's a short story about a custodian having a conversation with the Emporer about this. The Emporer claims that the butcher's nails would have already transformed Angron into an unthinking beast but the only thing keeping the last shreds of his mind intact was his fury. The Emporer states that, if he had saved Angron's friends on Nuceria, Angron would lose himself completely to the nails and become useless to the Emporer. So the Emporer chooses to give Angron a reason to continue to hold on. The Emporer makes himself the object of Angron's hatred so that Angron will remain focused enough to be used as a weapon by the Emporer, at least for a while, before the nails eventually kill him.

Angron's primarch physiology has healed around the nails, integrating them into the structure of his barley functional brain. He should be dead already. Even the Emperor has limits and it's simply not possible to remove the nails without killing Angron. It's important to keep in mind that this story exists to explain why the Emperor allows Angron to end up the way he already is in the 40k timelime. Angron's story doesn't become more satisfying or less tragic if the Emperor removes the nails because we already know how the next part of the story must end. Angron becomes a demon of Khorne and he has the nails in his brain. It's fun to ask questions like: how different would Corax and Konrad or Guiliman and Perturabo be if they swapped homeworlds and upbringings? But ultimately it has to happen the way it does for them to end up where they must be for the setting to exist as it is.

@alleywaydude399 the butchers nails are acheotech/xenotech they're actually extremely advanced and despite all of the resources of the Imperium/mechanicum cannot accurately recreate them. The versions that are implanted into the World Eaters after they find Angron are a primitive reverse engineered approximation of what they think the original butchers nails were but the only remaining example of the original technology is irreversibly entwined inside Angron's brain. This story is showing us how the Emperor really feels about his "sons." They weren't created to be happy or to be loved or to be cared for. They exist to struggle and to suffer. Their pain is less important to the Emperor than the purpose he intends for them. The fact that this reflects poorly on everyone involved is the point. The traitors need to feel justified in their rebellion. The reader needs to have reasons to both love and hate the Emperor and Angron depending on your own interpretation and philosophy.

I like to imagine that the Emperor was just really busy, running a very tight schedule for conquering the Galaxy, and so just didn't have time to deal with any more whining.

Angron wanted to die free. The Emperor denied him that. Then forced him to live knowing everyone he cared about was dead. At best, the Big E realized Angron couldn't live without rage. More likely, angry Angron is a loaded mad dog to fire at his enemies.

Best theory for me is that the emperor knew that no matter what, a fixed amount of his sons would turn traitor. So he purposefully fucked up with the shittier ones to ensure that they fell to chaos and leave the good ones behind.

In Baldermort's "Primarch Project" video [@~54:00] a custodes guesses that hate gives Angron life. Nails without anger is apathy There's also the theory that Angron had a strong sense of justice, and saw the crusade as a failure. Why give Khorne an intact demigod So Angron is either a traitor, a wreck, or a wrecked traitor. The poor bastard.

Big E can simply order that planet DON"T touch Angron's friends or facing exterminatus.

Y'know a lot of betrayal could've been avoided if he just had a five minute one-on-one talk with each of his sons

I actually never thought of the fact that the world could have been accepting Imperial compliance. That being the reasoning would probably set off Angron even more.

Instead of they stop, they stab The Emperor😂

"You can't just attack a planet that is in the process of joining you" The Inquisition: "wait what?"

We have to be missing context that will likely never be explained because securing loyalty from Angron would have been the advantageous move and a super strategist like the Emperor would know this. It's almost like he wanted his son to hate him...

I think the emperor wanted to break angron because he saw in angron a man he couldn’t control. Without the butchers nails and a fractured mental state, he would’ve never tolerated the crimes of the greatest tyrant to ever live let alone serve him. Primarchs like Guilliman and Vulkan cared about the common people in terms of effective administration or economic prosperity, but Angron cared about the common people in terms of political freedom, which is the one thing the emperor would’ve never allowed. The emperor wanted a butcher, not a freedom fighter.

I think the Emperor treated him badly because Angron wasn't "perfect" anymore because the people of Nuceria (the planet Angron landed on) had literally cut parts of Angron's brain off so they could make the Nails fit on his brain. Why would the Emperor want to save such a barbaric planet that had mutilated his son. Also because of Angron's rage, the Emperor had to show him who was the boss to try keep him inline.

Yes. And look how well 'showing him who's boss' worked out.

Angron did nothing, poor dude.

Angron was so unfortunate he did his rebelion during the only day global friendly fire was diasabled so Emperor had no choice 😓

I have a theory that he did indeed help Angron but the planets elite used a kill switch to wipe out the reveling slaves (reason they don’t do this sooner was becouse it was a good fun show to watch and then the emperor ruined it) Obviously Angron survives cause he’s a primemark but it takes a toll, his memory of his encounter is fucked, so he only remembered the bits that we know, not the part where the emperor desperately was trying to save him (either due to love or seeing him as a great tool or mix of both) This could also explain why the butcher nails could not be removed without killing Angron, perhaps they had become part of Angrons brain function meaning removal was literally removing a key component form a brain.

Originally Angron was supposed to be a god level empath. It was his Primarch power as you say. But the butchers nail destroyed that, it cut Angrons connection to the warp off. Its also why unlike the other Primarchs Angron didn't have an all imposing aura.

I feel like, the Emperor could've teleported ALL of Angron's warriors away, then faked their death, maybe by like, using his psyker powers to alter the perception of reality for the attacking arming, convincing them they won the battle and burned all the corpses.

Funny enough magnus and his sorcerers found a way using their psykic powers and surgery on how to remove the butcher's nails without causing any long term damage to the host of them, big E said no and banned them from further surgeries after they showed him how to do it

Exactly. If the emperor was a better and true father, he would have been like “Sir, the planet has just pledged allegiance, you can’t just attack them.” “… tell me, do you see what they have done to my son… they enslaved my SON! They carved his brain out and mutilated him and you expect to show mercy?! KILL THEM ALL!” The emperor could have done that. He could have sent the war hounds (former name of the world eaters) or even his custodians to help Angron. Hell, he could have just gone down there himself and fight alongside his son. But nope. Big E decided to be an idiot and is somehow surprised that Angron turned traitor.

He could have, yes.

I like Baldermorts explanation that the nails are killing Angron quicker if he has nothing to hate or no reason to be angry, so Big E basically gave Angron a reason to hate and therefore extended his life. With the extra time Big E could study and eventually remove the nails which we all know, he couldn't in the end. Of course Baldermort explained it way more thorough and cinematic and there are also a lot of unanswered questions in this theory, for example that Big E couldn't have known all that just from orbiting the planet.. but yeah, Big E is either a huge d*ck or a somewhat caring father depending on the interpretation.. mostly the first though.

Based on Guilliman's conversation with Big E after his resurrection I think i'm sticking with Emps being a d*ck lol

"You can't attack someone who pledged allegiance to you!" The Thunder Warriors: "Oh, NOW you can't, I see how it is."

BigE's ambition, power, and genius are absolutely eclipsed by his cruelty

Real reason: Angron didn't activate his plot ability to solve the problem before or even after Big E showed up, so he lacked the will to wield the power of a true Primarch.

If he was as a tool to the emperor... Imagine a tool that is wearing out in an unfixable way, but you can still get a couple extra uses before it breaks. Are you really going to take the time to polish it? So why then would he seek to make happy a tool that was not long for this galaxy, but he could still get a few extra 'compliant" worlds out of?

Since he was predetermined half his sons to chaos anyways, he treated some of them like trash so that he would be sure to know who he would lose.

The last part is an understatement. You know what is the real heresy? Having such a dysfunctional family.

Well there is the theory that the emperor knew heresy would come and that they would have half the legion against him and that he saw angron failed rebellion as a sign that angron would not be a primarch that useful by his sides and that it was better to have the seed of treachery in him so that mean he would keep a better primarch by his side. You treat the one you think are less worth so they go in the rebel camp

emperor treated some of his sons like Mr. Rogers from "will you be my neighbor" (bald, purple snake dildo, the emo kid. chocolate man, Harry Potter) and to some like Amber Heard to the drunk pirate (Walking Abortion, Space Mongolian, paper skin, Bete Iron Man, Pope). so obviously he wanted those Primarchs to betray him and was giving them reasons to so.

I always liked the idea that it was to point angrons anger somewhere. E knew that he was scrambled, and was possibly even sad that his empathy primarch had been tortured. So to try to give him a purpose of some sort, he made himself the target

"Probably a sht father" he *IS* one

From what I understand they couldn't remove the Nails without killing him, and they were already doing that regardless since the damage they inflicted was only eased or paused by hatred and anger. If I recall the Emperor confided with one of his Custodes that the reason he "saved" Angron the way he did was to actually save his life from the Nails. Angron hated him for it, but Big E effectively kept the Nails from slowly killing his "son" and to him that was worth it.

Oh, they could. And if they couldn't at the time, later on, Magnus discovered a way to do so without causing lasting damage.

Nevermind the fact that he could have gone ahead with it so long as he added the stipulation that he and Malcador sit in and make sure he didn't fuck up the operation.

“Beat the answer out of his dad” The emperor:💀

There’s also the possibility that events had to unfold as they did to further the Emperor’s grand plans, which relates to the theory that Emperor possessed foresight of future events and thus is able to set in motion events that would not come to fruition for thousands of years, such as the creation of the Adeptus Mechanicus

Poor Angron :( It's Warhammer tradition to have the Khornate guy with the sad af backstory. I also think they wanted his story to mirror the irl sad af story of Spartacus.

Emps sure didn’t have any problem wiping out a loyal planet when they called him a god.

Because that way, Angron wouldn't stay bound to his homeworld as he might have otherwise. He wanted a weapon, and he most certainly got one

I feel like he just couldn’t be bothered since he probably already knew about the butchers nails anyway

I'm sure other planets would understand Big E coming down to help his son the the planet was about to kill
