As for charisma being why Horus was made warmaster. really that was the MOST important trait. You needed to be a good politican at that level moreso then a good general. And Horus was a amazing politican, he was well liked. and his only feud occured after he was made warmaster (with corax)
I think Slaanesh has it's claws deeper into the soul of the Blood Angels than Khorne.
To avoid the temptations of Khorne they go down the path of artisanry and beauty. Perhaps his protection from chaos came from the fact Sanguinius's two sources of corruption were polar dipoles.
I doubt Slaanesh has any claws in them really.
BA like art and aesthetic things to prove they're more than just brute warriors but there's no trace of systematic excess or need for perfection there. They're closer to falling to Tzeentch than Slaanesh and that's pretty far off.
