Ahh I mean power wise Sanguinius already beat a greater daemon in combat and people say that one of the few reasons he lost to Horus was cause he had fought so much more before he met Horus in combat so maybe if he does gain more power and return as a warp entity, I would say he might be above demon prince lvl, Lemun Russ had a pretty close fight with Chaos enhanced Horus.

Our Glorious Hawk Boy was legendary. . Honestly, I feel like Warp Empowered Sanguinius would be a great counter to Daemon Prince Angron who, should he return any time soon, would be so overpowered by all of the ridiculous levels of bloodshed, war and turmoil going on right now, that I can't realistically imagine anyone else being able to stop him directly - except of course, Arch Angel Sanguinius.

It'll be real, remember how the emperor called ferrus manus "ghost" in the battle for the webway. Im willing to bet that really was Ferrus soul, same as sanguinius soul being around.

I love the possibility of the Emperor having another world/level of existence like the Chaos Gods do. They have the Garden of Nurgle and the Palace of Slaanesh...why can’t the Emperor have some sort of realm in the Warp of his own with his Greater Angels like Sanguinius and Ferrus Manus? **RECOMMEND you re-read the Master of Mankind** Wolf Lord Rho--there’s a scene in the Battle where the demon created from the First Murder, presented as an extremely powerful demon, is coming for the Emperor and he responds by going out to fight this monster....and the scene depicts the Emperor blasting the hordes of demons with fire and the fire having figures in it which resemble dead Space Marines and even hints at Ferrus Manus being represented here too....maybe a manifestation of the Emperor’s Angels battling Demons?? That could be another great video to make-that scene where the Emperor fights the demon of the First Murder?? And his interaction with the Custodians involved, and Rha. GREAT scene!!

Honestly this is the true tragedy of the Blood Angels, the greatest of the First Founding Chapters, and Dante seemingly cursed to an entire lifetime of war, his rest will only come once he defeats Abaddon in the Throne Room on Holy Terra where they both mortally wound each other and Dante gets the final blow against Abaddon but it kills him doing so and the very last we see is Sanguinius and the Emperor each lifting his soul from his body and saying "rest now, my son, my avenging angel", that would be such an emotional moment and almost a reenactment of Horus vs the Emperor

Have been binge listening to these videos for the last 3 days...epic content. I tend to think that the vision of Sanguinius is probably a part of the collective unconscious of the Blood Angels.

I sometimes wonder if the Sanguinius from Dante's dream is actually the Emperor and Dante is actually Sanguinius. Especially with that reference to Dante being he's "Greatest Son" it kind of makes me wonder if Dante has always been Sanguinius's reincarnation from the beginning and is only now, starting to slowly comprehend this through dreams and visions. Perhaps Dante will only comprehend the entire truth when he lands up fighting to protect the Emperor once again from someone like Abaddon.

Who knows with Calgar becoming a Primaris, who is to say Dante can't become one as well and if Dante can become a Primaris, then couldn't future story allow Dante to evolve further. Perhaps even eventually becoming a Primarch and coming full circle arriving at Sanguinius himself?

[@dinocha0s]

Primarchs were made by some degree of warp energy, and Sanguinius aside from this brother Magnus had some warp powers aswell particularly the power of foresight... It is said when he died, he send psychic ripples through the minds of all his sons... I would say a powerful psyker, A PRIMARCH Psyker no less, would have some measure of presence even after death (not to compare anything but even Star wars had force ghosts for great jedi) If they were to bring back Sanguinius this has to be one of the best ways to bring him back, like he is back...but back as something completely different...he is more like an ACTUAL ANGEL now, where he needs to gather energy inside the warp to manifest himself and maybe 10x As powerful then before...but at the cost of not being able to stay and lead his Sons like he used to, only able to muster and manifest himself during great battles Everyone always knew that the Sanguinor WAS the ghost of Sanguinius I would say this is much better then simply making the dumb 'OH BUT SURPRISE OUR HERO WAS NEVER DEAD!' plos twist that hollywood and marvel love to do so much these days

[@Knights_Oath]

It was not a dream it was real. Dante for all his accomplishments would never call himself the greatest of Sanguinius's sons. Sanguinius truly loves his sons and you can hear the pain in his voice asking Dante to live. As death and the ability to be with his father is the only thing Dante wants. What would be interesting, if Dante was infused some of Sanguinius power when he forced him to return. Knowing that Gulliman would need it in the coming years.

[@Xenophon122088]

100% real. Sanguinious is psychic and can affect others by his psychic power and emotions. He used his power to revive Dante, and the Primarch's demeanor is exactly like the loving angel we have seen before. Great read!!

Dante seems to be a literal reliving of Sanguinius. A warrior without peer and a noble soul without equal... One who knows he must suffer and struggle who gives everything for humanity and the Emperor, despite wanting nothing more than to rest. It's quite beautiful, yet so deeply sad... Just like the Blood Angels, and their Primarch father. Any citizen of the Imperium who loses heart should look to the example of Dante, and fight on like the greatest son of the Angel.

[@potandpoliticswithmr.broph1420]

Can't wait for Sanguinius and Vulkan to get back and start turning things around for humanity. Of all the loyalist Primarchs I think they care the most about the Emperors dream of a better life for all humanity and actually creating it rather than just defeating their or the Emperor's enemies and calling humanity improved because it's safer. I honestly think the three of them together is better for running the Empire than Johnson,Guilliman, and Sanguinius were. Johnson is good for war and NOTHING else, he doesn't relate to or even care about anyone or thing else except in the abstract and it's all expendable to serve his desires. Sanguinius, Guilliman, and Vulkan have Noblese Oblige, the responsibility of a ruler to their people. The other loyalist Primarchs don't seem to see themselves as having an obligation to make life easier and better for All of humanity. The others seem to rule because they are the most powerful and won't be subjugated by anyone, rulership by default. Sangunius specifically educates his Blood Angel's in art, philosophy, and literature to make them better well rounded and insightful (post) humans, Gulliman built the 500 worlds of Ultramar and set about educating his people and marines in state craft and science, Vulkan perhaps even more so than Guilliman entrenched his marines with his people so they maintained the "common touch" and bond with baseline humanity (as much as a 300 yr old giant obsidian skinned biologically engineered death machine that occassionally plays stickball with the kids can be considered as just another member of society). To me at least, Dorn, Manus, Khan, Johnson, Corax, and Russ don't seem to have the same regard and reverence for humanity or view of leadership as a responsibility to those ruled. Admittedly I could be wrong on my view of Manus as I don't know his story as well as the others, but it has never come across to me that he would be a compassionate even if necessarily harsh ruler.

[@jackfrost2978]

I think Khan might also be one of the better leaders, and that it's just lack of knowledge about him keeping him from your list of the greater primarchs.

[@potandpoliticswithmr.broph1420]

@@jackfrost2978 possibly. I really like the Khan but I do need to do more looking into him. Personally I don't see him making a good leader for humanity, and that's specifically what I'm talking about, he doesn't seem to have a desire to be a ruler and Empire builder. He lacks a vision for All of humanity as a single entity. His own planet he didn't set out to improve other than more fair rulership. I think the Khan would be a great custodian for humanity if he had to be, I don't think he'd want the throne and it doesn't suit him any more than it suits Russ. Not saying he or the others would do a bad job, just some would be better than others. So far as general Primarch evaluation I put the Khan among my tops. He doesn't brag, he keeps his actual martial prowess to himself, I think he'd surprise a few of his brothers on a battlefield. Curze, Russ, Angron, Sanguinius, and either Khan or Corax would be my picks for best fighters one on one. Probably one of the smarter Primarchs imo as well. When Horus ,Alpharius, and The Khan confront Malcador about the plinths it seems to me Horus is being played by Alpharius against Malcador to see if Horus' inevitable tantrum will get Malcador to let anything useful slip. Like a game between Varis and Little Finger in game of thrones and Horus is so mad he doesn't see it, but The Khan does. He seems to be the only one listening to Malcador and trying to put together the bigger picture, and keep Horus out of too much trouble. Horus is his hot tempered best friend practically. Horus is wound up in his pride, Alpharius in his plots and information gathering( how much does Malcador know I know?), Khan hangs back and takes it all in. Again, just my opinion and I do need to read more about Jaghatai

I found it on a complete random guess. It's "Children of the Omnissiah" from the Mechanicus OST

[@xklutchxpanda634]

After reading the new siege of terra book, the emperor saves the khan. He could not save sanguinius by the preset lore but if he saved his soul and made him essentially another god

[@justinanderson2460]

Poor Dante. He deserves rest but no-one wants him to die. I truly hope he gets to fulfil his prophecy of giving his life to save the Emperor at the last. Nothing else would be a worthy end in my opinion unless it's resurrecting Sanguinius somehow.

[@tamabuku]

dante felt tear drop on him. its real

[@gabriel_tormentaroja5118]

Real, Sanguinius LIVES, in the Emperor's Glory

[@snakeyman5560]

Dante could rest within a dreadnought.

[@DreamSneak]

"bale"? I'm sure somebody else has said so but it's "Baal" pronounced "Barl".

[@Aden_III]

Ba’al is a Hebrew/Aramaic word and is pronounced Baw-All. Between each syllable, press tongue down to bottom of mouth and rumble your throat as you pronounce All. This is the correct pronunciation. But accents of other languages like English/Australian can change their pronunciations a little. *This has been your once in a million, super rare, language nerd/polyglot comment*

dante and the sanginar will become one

[@anthonywood5445]

Outstanding stuff you got my sub!

[@AlphaOmegon]

Sanguinius: don't tell the others you are my favorite. Dante: Cool, so will you let me die now? Sanguinius: lol

[@wattrocks]

“No no no no more take me with you! I beg you!” Real or not (I think it was real) passages like this reminds us that these super human godlike mammoth sized war machines are still human. His life for countless years has been nothing but death. His enemies, his brothers, his father, ones that came before and after him. Now all he wants is the embrace of death for himself, and is denied. Brutal pure emotion. I would say long live Dante but for him that would be anguish. Awesome video man

Heretic burger !!!

[@NocturneNox1]

Our purpose is clear!

[@sanguiniusonvacation1803]

Tarorc79 I hunger !

[@slyscott1430]

Everybody always forgets the powers of the warp hold such a strong middle finger to multitudes of logic. Even against death. There's no one else except GW, who could say anything otherwise on the matter. So to me, i feel it was Sang, by fact, not opinion.

[@markusnavergard2387]

Its so sad. Dante only wants to rest by his deceased fathers side

[@alexfullwood4560]

Great video loved it

[@scordova98]

Holy shit the manly tears

[@seabert2070]

Could the angel come back? What if Russ finds and brings the angel and corax back?

[@carlosfreitas1722]

It was sanguinius spirit!

[@Atlashon]

Sorry to rain on the parade guys but this was clearly a dream.

[@Darktitanium159]

I think it may be possible that the emperor foresaw his own and the fall of sanguinius at the hands of horus, so I think he allowed it so that he could save sanguinius' and his own soul in the warp for a greater purpose than GW has currently revealed.

[@henz3458]

GW needs to really bring this guy back.

[@RockaGrand]

It was Dante's subconscious speaking to his conscience. It touches on Dante's "Ego" embattled with Dante's Persona. Being humble doesn't mean you're blind to definition and reality. But, I think that was Dante confronting himself in that he is tired BUT knows he is not done, he knows of no other Blood Angel brother that could carry the mantel. Dante came face to face with himself where he could admit how tired he was. My opinion...

[@jackfrost2978]

Your opinion is contrary to nearly every great work of Blood Angel lore. I have never read anything that would suggest Dantes "Ego".

[@SawyerKnight]

40k is Dante's inferno

[@zombiedad]

Great stuff WLR. I is real. I hope it is not Tzeetch. Devastation of Baal is sn awesome read

[@wolflordrho]

Thank you 😊
