Also the fact that angron failed to conquer his planet with his slave srmy and was indeed just a hairs breath from being wiped out did not speak well for either his leadership abilities or their own skills.

Angron was a failure at the end of the day and frankly it would ahev been best for everybody( includinh him and his legion) if the Emperor had left him to perish in his last stand. Perhaps he simply did not want to leave one of his sons to die for no good reason but it was still a mistake IMO. Didn't stop the Emperor from using them and letting them continue implanting those same Butcher's Nails, so derp on the first statement.

Yes, because it's totally Angron's fault that he only had an army of half starved slaves armed with whatever cobbled together equipment they could find, and they were going up against a force that was well supplied, equipped, and many times their size. Even Primarchs can't work miracles.

Maybe, or maybe if the Emperor hadn't been a manipulative tool and actually helped Angron's forces instead of letting the warlords kill all of Angron's followers and let them rule in his name none of this would've happened in the first place. He has nobody to blame for Angron's actions but himself.
