Who/What is the Sanguinor Really? | Warhammer 40k Lore

[@Alex-pj8nz]

I have a theory why the Sanguinor help those hopeless battles, it may have to do with the god emperor winning against Horus despite all the prophecies and visions saying the Emperor will lose by not taking in the Warp. Well he won looking at 40k lore.

Sangy is the gigachad of the primarchs probably but Aun Shi is the gigachad of the T'au Ethereals. What more of a reason do you need to do a video on him bro

[@withlovefromlightindust591]

Hello Majorkill, Would you please make some lore videos on the Imperial Truth, the Imperial Creed, the Ecclesiarchy, and the High Lords of Terra? Pretty please? Thank you.

[@PlayerOne.StartGame]

The Sanguinor is an oddly heartwarming part of the usually unforgiving universe. It's either a benevolent daemon birthed from the Blood Angels brothers' collective love for their Primarch and noble spirit, or a piece of Sanguinius's soul preserved to aid his sons in their darkest hours. Either way, Sanguinius left a legacy that is more than sons as cursed as they're noble, but a glimmer of hope and love persevering.

[@ChillAssTurtle]

Not all tears should be born of sorrow & lamentation. The light that shone in the darkness all those long millenium ago still shines on, it shines on in you brothers, and in the souls of each and every man & woman who struggle in a thousand different ways both great and small to make this dark galaxy a brighter more prosperous place for mankind.

Tbh I believe that the Sanguinor is maybe something similar to a living saint but combined with the angel of light that Big E shoved into Sanguinius. I really thing that Big.E had at least some influence in this

[@TheWarmachine375]

In Roboutian Heresy, Sanguinor was an avatar of the *completely rational* Sanguinius with the purpose of essentially used to do things the Daemon Primarch of Slaanesh needed for his plans without letting his facade of being insane and delusional drop.

[@steelixman]

also with mephiston, he also has to keep the darkside in check because while he did the rubicon primaris thingy, he wasn't gonna make it. while asleep, mephiston spoke to a being that looked like sanguinius telling him that he should keep fighting and showed a vision if he did not make the crossing of becoming primaris, he will be possesed and fight for chaos as a daemon. i read this in the "darkness in the blood" book which i highly recommend to blood angels fans

[@Mephiston]

Can confirm. It was heck.

[@thatonekriegguardsmen6140]

A video on the first founding chapters and there most prominent successor’s would be cool

[@PelinalDidNothingWrong]

I personally like to think The Sanguinor is actually a piece of Sanguinius' soul that is able to manifest when those with his Gene-Seed need it the most. Similiar to how people think The Legion of the Damned are the vengeful souls of the Astartes killed in the battles of Istvaan

[@Nempo13]

Well the LotD have been adding to their numbers over time, and their spokesman even said that the tithe needs paid. The legion has forcefully dragged astartes into their ranks before. When they have appeared against Emperor's Children there is always a LotD Contemptor Dreadnaught that looks exactly like Rylanor's charging into them. So it isn't just the Istvaan astartes in that legion for sure.

[@TheTDArts]

Kinda, but not by that much Remember Just like Vulkan and Corvus, Ferrus has effectively no Legion after Istvan So he'll probably just be at Terra But more angy than usual

[@NocturnalNightingale]

If the Sanguinor houses the Light of Sanguinius and Mephiston the Dark, then Dante is to me the embodiment Humanity and duty thereof of his Primarch.

[@Cryodrake]

MajorKill, i have a suggestion, what about an episode on how the rest of the imperium and/or Xenos reacted when the emperor became entombed upon the golden throne. We know the primarchs were super sad but how did the rest react, i know the custodes were uber depressed to the point of stripping which is kind of funny.

[@bogdanlevi]

The last Siege of Terra novel is coming soon, and the topic is probably going to be expanded on there.

[@thatonepj7245]

You should do a video on what every Primarchs “Full potential” would be if they reached it and how powerful they’d be.

[@raymondrosales8945]

I head cannon that each Angel warp entity is 0.75 of the power of the warp deities in the other Primarchs but the two combined put Sanguinius at a 1.5 of power above his 1.0 brothers.

[@Kierano777]

Half decent theory!

[@nathanthom8176]

But the Sanguinor beat Ka'Bandha and if the Sanguinor represents either the entirety or part of the Angel Of Light then Sanguinius would be much more powerful which he wasnt. I actually think that individually the two Angels were stronger than most of the other warp entities the Emperor rangled up, and that the two angels together actually become weaker than thier parts as they are fighting each other for order. The reason the Emperor chose both was because having only one of the Angels would have been problematic to his plans, give Sanguinius just the Angel of Light and you would probably have a being unwilling to go along with the darker apsects of the emperors plan and the opposite way would have probably lead to a Sanguinius Heresy.

[@raymondrosales8945]

@@nathanthom8176 Quite right. Though, I might counter that the Sanguinor has been an object of reverence and focus for some 10,000 years now. And if the same rules apply as with other warp entities, it's very possible that in those 10,000 years of reverence and adulation, the focus of all Blood Angels more or less during that whole period, could have amplified the power that the Sanguinor possesses to being about Ka'Bandha tier Sanguinius.

[@nathanthom8176]

@@raymondrosales8945 true but I like the idea that two angels that represent opposites shouldn't merge seamlessly in a being. The two angels aren't like Yin and Yang which are opposite yet complimentary and interconnected but have always been described as antagonistic and competing.

[@SimplyAdriel]

MY question regarding what empowers the two angles is simple. Is the reason the Lamenters almost never fall to the Black Rage due to how they are the most kind and Noble Chapter of Sanguinius?

[@alexworkedmetty4544]

probs the angel of light favourite boys so the angel of dark said nope and gave them misfortune to counter that blessing

[@RoninOCE]

Didn't he also appear alongside Sanguinius to Dante just before he was about to kark it? So it seems that the Sanguinor can interact with Sanguinius' soul, or what's left of it, and aid people through some psychic connection? Unless Dante was just tripping absolute balls and had a vision that his dad and cousin were there, but I doubt it. Also Sanguinius must have quite a bit of power left in him after his death.

[@Nempo13]

Dante is an incredibly insane level of power for any astartes. He hasn't just come back from the Black Rage once, this mad ladd has done it at least three times if memory serves! It is no wonder Sanguinor was willing to meet with him and talk to him, Dante is proof the Black Rage can be overcome.

[@awesomejack6675]

So the Emperor HAD to put both in Sanguinius. If he had just picked the light side the dark side would have taken control of all the blood angels. turning them into the world eaters 2.0. The other side would have been a mad and uncontrollable Sanguinius one of pure rage. Or the emperor needed both halfs to be able to control Sanguinius. A light side Sanguinius would have not taken lightly to the ways and believes of the empire and would challange his dominion, but a dark side Sanguinius would have torn his way through the empire, destroying everything in his path....

In my headcanon, if the fusion dance ever happened, Sanguinius would become something more than what he used to be.

It would be pretty fun if Sanguinus became an incredibly powerful psyker on top all his normal power.

The Immaterium wasn't always the complete mess it is now and there were probably plenty of order/nurture/kindness like beings/god's at some time. Add in the fact that time is weird in the warp and technically it would be possible to pull out something from before the warp went tits up.

[@seanvanderstruys5196]

Next up, astoroth the grim. Excellent video as always my dude 😊 thank you.

[@thebiggaffeur993]

The problem I see with this theory is that ot would mean the angel of light left Sanguinius before his death to merge with the original Sanguinor, which would quite heavily imply a loss of power for Sanguinius. That would then make it hard to explain how he still could absolutely crush everything in his path during the battle for Terra.

[@Kierano777]

MK touches on that in the video, the warp doesn't care for time. Can exist simultaneously.

[@nathanthom8176]

That is assuming that both angels housed within Sanguinius had an accumative effect on his power, it could have been the opposite, the Angels could potentially lose power housed within Sanguinius as each fights for dominance. This would make the lack of power difference make sense but ultimately it is a poor theory because although my suggestion helps in the relative power/strength arguments, it doesn't address that Sanguinius would have surely changed in his behaviours/personality without the White Angel to balance the dark one.

[@Bio_dub465]
