Angron is the best of the grim dark Primarch's.

1: Crash lands on a planet only 8 years old and kills several Eldar assassins, before his broken body is dragged off to have ancient and poorly understood technology shoved into his brain.

2: Raises an army of people who didn't treat him like total crap and they go into the mountains to die from starvation or in battle together. Emperor comes and denies him a good death.

3: Angron gets angry, murders the World Eaters current leader and begins to make his men into crazy people. They only allow this because they want to be like him, broken and defeated with nothing to loose.

4: Knows he's a monster and just doesn't care.

5: Holds up the foot of a warhound after being buried several hundred meters under the ground.

6: Becomes a Daemon Prince of Khorne.

7: Tries to get Sanunius to join Horus at the gates of Terra through a telepathic link.

8: Last legion to leave Terra.

9: Out ran his own bodyguard numerous times. Hated and despised them.

10: Loathed by most of his legion.

11: Did something notable after the Horus Heresy, and by notable, attacked Armageddon and then....

12: Slaughtered his way throughout Imperial Space for over a century with 50,000 World Eater Berserkers and destroyed/maim'dkill'dburn'd/broke the backs of/split open/fucked 70 sectors. However, in a subsequent Imperial offensive, Angron was banished to the warp and his men routed. To be fair, this strike force comprised 2 Titan Legions, 4 full Spess Mehreen chapters and over 30 Imperial Guard regiments to do that.
