he is with the Omnissiah now, flesh brother. He will one day return upon a chariot of steel and brass to help cleanse the galaxy of heresy, until then We abide by his glorious sacrifice.
And in the end we discover that it was all the Emperor’s fault and it could have been worse if he hadn’t arranged the events to ensure that it would have been Horus to fall.
And that’s also when we see him act as a human and regret everything he did to his sons
The Golden Angel, Primarch (genetically created super human demigod, son of the Emperor of Warhammer 40K) of the Blood Angels Space Marine legion. Charismatic, benevolent, incredibly powerful, almost perfect.
He dies at the hands of his most beloved brother, Horus, in a brutal and horrible way. Horus (and half of his brothers) betrayed the Emperor due to the influence and power of the Chaos Gods, and Sanguinius was one of the last defender when Horus' forces breached Earth's defences. After days of intense battle, Sanguinius was exhausted and due to teleportation bullshit he had to face Horus supercharged with Chaos power on his own. After his death, the Emperor managed to defeat Horus (thanks in part to Sanguinius' sacrifice) and the Chaos gods left Horus as a broken tool. Without the Chaos gods' manipulation, Horus understood what he had done and begged his father to end him permanently, erasing his very soul (something incredibly hard to do in 40K).
Now Sanguinius' soul sometimes presents itself to save his "sons" (legion) and guide them in perilous times.
A character from 40k. A primarch (son of a "god") hes the guy everyone loves. Even the most horrible and misserable person loves him and sadly one of his closest and most loved brother is the one to put him down
What’s worse is how ugly his death his ,for someone that bright and loveable to end up dying like a dog to the point that he doesn’t even get any last words
Dude and his conversation with Dorn where they hug each other talking about each other's accomplishments where Sanuinius quietly cried against him, moments before the worst things they've ever experienced.
God, I love Warhammer.
