Angron always lamented the death of his slave army and his kidnapping by the Emperor... but why did he do it? The Emperor had the whole of the War Hounds (world eaters) Legion with him and could have conquered the entire planet if he wished. If thats not enough the other primarchs were allowed to induct their existing followers, Russ had his wulfen, Lion had Luthor, Lorgar had Kor Phaeron but not Angron.

Why?

I think the only answer that makes sense is that the Emperor used his precognistion to scry Angron's future and saw that the next time he returned to his world he would become a Daemon of Chaos. Shocked by this dark fate, and far too arrogant to let Angron die with honour when he could still be useful, the Emperor decided simply to take Angron and force his obediance, figuring he would probably win a few hundred worlds for the Great Crusade before dying either in combat or from the Butcher Nails...
