Coming from a very catholic culture, I find what you’re saying quite similar with how people in my country feel when taking mass or praying. In mourning the death of sinless, pure soul who gave everything while suffering to free everyone regardless of them being thankful or ungrateful for his deeds. There’s a profound feeling of humble, sorrow, and gratitude, and an ever feeling of debt that cannot be paid by any act or means and yet oblige to fulfill which will take you through any adversity and endeavor.

This makes me so fucking sad man. The tragedy of Sanguinius is one of the main reasons I became a 40k fan, because it's such a beautiful tale of a man losing his life in a sacrifice against his brothers, for his genuine belief in the betterment of humankind. He honestly, and truly believed humans could be more than what we were and are, that there is a chance at finding the peaks of our humanity in what we did. The degeneration of the Imperium only serves to drive that point further, as, in the pursuit for survival, the gifts of humankind that he professed were trampled over, and in many hive worlds, forgotten.

"Gathered from distant war zones across the galaxy, it took many solar months for each disparate band of the IXth Legion to be found and recalled. It would be two standard years and four solar months before the gathering was complete, and on the storm-wracked world of Teghar, an army of grim killers with the faces of angels assembled, eagerly awaiting a new slaughter of which to partake. The captains of the Revenant Legion, the Great Crusades' blood-soaked angels, gathered as Stormbird transports bearing the mark of the Luna Wolves descended from orbit. From within came a troop of warriors clad in the white of Horus' own Legion, yet the one at their head was not Horus, though by his stature he was a true son of the Emperor and one of His Primarchs. Great white wings unfolded and Sanguinius revealed himself to his gene-sons, his sculpted features the very image of those that thronged about him. Sanguinius beheld the gathered warriors of the IXth each bearing the scars of unrelenting battle both on their proud faces and in the dark recesses of their spirits. These were not men to be impressed by the pomp and ceremony of his escort, nor by simple strength of arms. The winged Primarch, amid the rain and storms of that far world, took a knee before the rough-cast killers and scarred blood-drinkers and, rather than demand their allegiance, he offered them his own. The warriors who had offered up everything to the new Imperium and in return been granted only scorn and mistrust, were now offered a Primarch's loyalty, given freely and without reservation. Sanguinius had won their devotion with his actions, and to seal them to him he led the assembled Legion on their first campaign together, standing in the front lines of battle where his valour spoke for the sincerity of his pledge."

[@adonyestimon4392]

Didnt the Emperor have the chance to kill Horus but hesitated for a second, so Horus took advantage and struck him down?

[@icebreaker5138]

@@adonyestimon4392 it is also said there may have been a lone guardsman that stood up to Horus to protect the Emperor. When he was callously struck down that snapped the Emperor out of his hesitation. Though who is to say if this is 100% true?

[@alricmalicorne321]

"A chink in his armour" could mean many a thing. And I do not think something as inconsequential as an armor would mean anything in a battle between gods. More likely, killing Sanguinius opened a weakness in Horus's soul. For even he could not bear the guilt of laying low the Angel. And the Emperor needed no other gate to win the fight, than a traitor's sorrow.

[@angusmcewing3557]

@@alricmalicorne321 I actually quite like this. Seeing Horus's guilt could be the reason the Emperor hesitated, thinking that maybe he could be redeemed. Only for chaos to reassert itself and crush the last noble part of Horus's soul. Seeing that, the last shard of his favourite son's spirit being destroyed, the Emperor resolves to finish it.

[@maninthemailbox6094]

@Icebreaker That lone guardsman was another perpetual like the Emperor named Ollanius Pius who had been with him since the unification wars and was said to be even older than Emps. The Emperor respected him so much that he even made a religious exception for him, and Ollanius was killed by Horus whilst still wearing the catholic cross around his neck.

Hmm even as an Guilliman fan (I believe he's the best all around Primarch) Sanguinius is the ideal to look up to and possibly the only Primarch who could have kepy Big E's vision alive after he ascended the Golden Throne. In The Unremembered Empire novel it's no wonder Guilliman insisted that Sanguinus be regent of Imperium Secundus. He's the figurehead whilst Guilliman is the practical organiser behind the scenes.

[@ElFletchy]

This is so beautiful that I use this as background music whenever I pray the Holy Rosary. Its so fitting because Sanguinius is my favourite Primarch. Not to mention, his character is based around St Michael the Archangel. Warhammer 40K is possibly the last great fantasy that has routes to Christian inspiration. No wonder people in the hobby are based ;)

[@titaniumtemplar3560]

the way warhammer is depicted is exactly how the ancient Christian saw his faith, In light of this, the modern Christian faith seems empty, meaningless, watered down if you will, it does not honor sacrifice, or mourn tragedy, the church has fallen from grace, it has become like the secular world that surrounds it, and so corruption runs rampant within the church. It is quite sad really. equally sad to see people find Warhammer to be the only accepted outlet for expressing their desire to uphold honor, chivalry, sacrifice, and godly glory. as such things can no longer be found in our military.

[@SirCheezersIII]

In our darkest hour, we remember the Angel of Baal: Twice victorious over the Champion of the God of Carnage, his name is spoken of with trembling voice by daemonkind. Clad in golden aegis, he stood before the Eternal Gate amid the Traitors, their corruption breaking upon him like the tide over a pillar of adamant. In the orbit of Holy Terra, the fallen Warmaster laid him low, his body broken but his spirit ever piercing through the Warp even unto death. From the Angel's melee with the Archtraitor, the Emperor found the break in his foul mail and laid the final blow, through which the billions of our brothers and sisters he betrayed were at last avenged. In his name do we fervently pray that our deeds in battle this day shield mankind from the dark maws of laughing gods, else his martyrdom be in vain. But only when the Imperium, wrought in the blood and bones of our ancestors, stands secure for all time from her despoilers can he at last lay in peace.

He knew he was going to die a violent death, dying meant for him only a regret of not being able to do more for his own, there was no glory in his death because he could not stay afterwards. Even knowing that, he performed the greatest act of love there can be, to give your life for others. As the blood and the last breath left his body, there was a feeling of helplessness of not being able to accomplish more. Knowing that your sacrifice will not be enough but still doing it is the greatest act of faith there can be.

[@LordKoehler]

Solemn, stately, ominous, grand and foreboding.

[@Help_In_Need]

,,Their eyes meet, and there is no mercy in the Angel’s pale gaze. Sanguinius is lost to the passions he has always resisted. The Lord of the Red Sands sees it in the pinpricks of his brother’s pupils, in the ivory grind of his brother’s fangs. The Angel has lost himself to blood-need, and veins show starkly blue on his cheeks. This is wrath. This is the Angel unleashed. It is an anger so absolute, Angron feels the bite of another forgotten emotion: jealousy. What he sees in the Angel’s eyes is no bitter fury at a life of mistreatment, or rage goaded by the will of a god that only rewards slaughter. It feeds the God of War, as all bloodshed does, but it is not born of him. It is the Angel’s own fury, in worship of nothing but justice. How beautiful that is. How naïve. How pure." - Last moments of fight between Daemon Angron and Sanguinius before The Angel slain the beast mercilessly to protect the palace of His Father. From ,,Echoes of Eternity" book. Sanguinius was born to be a cruel beast, but He chose to be noble and proud warrior who never forgot about whom he was fighting for: His father, his father's Imperium and all the people inside of it. He even felt ashamed of his wings and the curse that his genenesons bore. Because of that he felt obliged to try twice or three times as hard as his brothers did to make his father proud. May his name always be respected. He is our hawk boi and a legend of the Imperium.
