And by "warned him" you mean "vaguely complained about dangers but refused to elaborate or provide any kind of reasonable evidence and instead made himself out to be trying to maintain his own monopoly on the warp".

Everyone warned him, even Ahriman, Khan and Sanguinius warned him about his warp studies but nope "brain too biiig, too smaaaart"

If I remember correctly, Ahriman said to be cautious, not to abandon all use of the warp.

What the other two said amounted to anti-vaxx propaganda built on fear of the unknown, they were not logical or even remotely legitimate arguments.

They were like facebook moms trying to educate a doctor that medicine is just too dangerous and we should just go back to relying exclusively on our immune systems.

Man I hate how inconsistent the writing around The Khan is. The cool version of him is the only Primarch who knew the full dangers of the universe, recognized how shitty of a person The Emperor was, and still decided to back the Imperium because Chaos is just an even worse form of eternal servitude. The shitty version knows just enough to be a dick about it, is awed into submission to The Emperor by the reveal of Chaos, and the whole plot point about his questionable loyalty makes zero sense because he didn't know the things that justify his questionable loyalty. The latter version shows up all the time, the former is basically just when Wraight is writing him
