About this deal

Within a few solar days the grievous wounds that Sanguinius had suffered at the hands of the Greater Daemon healed as a result of his accelerated metabolism and superhuman immune system. Whatever befell him in the future, the Primarch swore that he would have his vengeance upon the daemon Ka'bandha. When the call from Rogal Dorn came for the IX th Legion to return to Terra and aid in its defence against the Traitors, the Blood Angels made all haste, as he now understood better than most the gravity of the situation facing the Imperium. Battle raged throughout the daemon-infested warship, and Sanguinius became separated from the Emperor and his other comrades. Now isolated, legend tells that he was brought through artifice before the treacherous Horus.

Sanguinius, also known as the " Great Angel" and the " Brightest One" during his lifetime, was the primarch of the Blood Angels Legion of Space Marines and the genetic ancestor of the Adeptus Astartes Chapters who comprise the Sanguinary Brotherhood in the 41st Millennium.Fulgrim • Perturabo • Konrad Curze • Angron • Mortarion • Magnus the Red • Horus • Lorgar • Alpharius Omegon Horus was plotting the Blood Angels’ downfall at Signus Prime. The main objective was to kill the primarch. Horus claimed this was because he knew his brother would never turn to Chaos. But the daemon Kyriss had a different explanation: Horus was afraid of a rival. Sanguinius was the only one of the primarch that had a chance to surpass Horus if he would fall to Chaos. This Rembrancer boss who A. knows this man is basically a private detective who finds hidden truths, B. already knows about the Red Thirst and just hopes the PI won't find out and C. ultimately becomes an Inquisitor and just kills the PI to keep him from telling the real story.

The Prince of Decay has reaped a heavy toll on the Galaspar system, his brutality astounding even the Imperium. French readers can soon discover how two of his brothers attempt to hold him accountable for his excessive actions in Mortarion: The Pale King . Somewhat confusingly you are following the story of the Primarch through the eyes of one of the remembrancers. But then, somewhere in the middle you get the realization that the book is not about Sanguinius per se. It’s about the legend of the Great Angel, about how they have to hide and keep in secret the Red Thirst. I like how you get to see Sanguinius through the eyes of another person who is somewhat objective, and not shy from uncomfortable truth both in-universe and the for us the fans. You see the action of the Primarch, who can be merciful and just like we used to see him in other books, but also quite merciless and not shy from stuff that would make him a villain in any other universe. The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here. Solar decades later, Horus exploited this knowledge of the Blood Angels' genetic Flaw. The Warmaster had found a way to sway his "beloved" brother's Legion to his cause and the service of the Chaos Gods -- or see it destroyed before it could become an impediment to his plan to drive on Terra and take the Imperium for his own. It is said that after his turn to Chaos, Horus hated and feared Sanguinius more than any of his brothers and wove many strategies to ensnare or slay him, though all failed. In an effort to weaken and divide the Loyalist forces before he made clear his betrayal, the Warmaster charged the IX th Legion with the arduous task of cleansing the Signus Cluster -- a triple star system of the Segmentum Ultima near the galactic centre.

Sanguinius model

Sanguinius or The Great Angel is one of the most beloved primarchs and figures in the Imperium. He was renowned for his nobility and might. His charisma and loyalty, which moved him to the point of self-sacrifice, are reverenced even in the 41 st millennium, ten thousand years after his death. Wargear From the midst of this sorrow and tragedy arose the Chapters of this new birth, referred to as the Second Founding. While each Legion worked out for itself how to divide (and some Legions experienced a more harrowing road than even the Blood Angels), the Sons of Sanguinius were at last united by the sole survivor of the Sanguinary Guard, Azkaellon.
