So did Sanginius actually accomplish anything by attacking Horus when he was on the Vengeful Spirit?It sounds like he died for basically nothing at all, because he never had a hope in hell of killing him or even inflicting significant damage.
>>96618137Literally nothing, he had a vision that he would die to Horus, so he was autistically about dying to Horus. Abnett killed him so a feather of his could make John Gramaticus the most important charecter in the setting.
>>96618137>So did Sanginius actually accomplish anything by attacking Horus when he was on the Vengeful Spirit?Face-in-peril is an important part of the drama to build up the heel.
>>96618225>he had a vision that he would die to Horus, so he was autistically about dying to Horus.this, both he and Emps knew it was his fate to die at the hands of Horus.
Does this have anything to do with playing the game?
>>96619627Its about the lore of a game, but the real reason I started this thread is because I like hanging out with you guys.
>>96619698Thanks anon.I remember reading (sometime around 1st or 2nd ed) that that Emps and Co were all planning to teleport together into Horus's throne room, but the beam got scrambled by psionics or warp fuckery, arrived scattered all over the ship and ended up coming at Horus one at a time. Sanguinus got there first (died), with the Emperor coming across the tragic scene a short while later. This was before all the BL books re-imagining though, so I have no idea what they have done with the lore since then. Remember, the lore is supposedly over 11,000 years old, told from both sides (and just there to promote the sale of the latest model lines), so is very fluid.
>>96619698>Its about the lore of a gameSo that's a no.
>>96618137I pretend that the HH series never happened and just stick with the old lore that he left a crack in Horus's armour for the Emperor to exploit
>>96620449The old lore was so soulful>Sanguinius gave his life fighting Horus, his death inspiring the Emperor to use his full might in killing his favorite son.Nu-lore is so shit>Sanguinius jobbed, the Emperor and Horus fought using magic the gathering, the Emperor was still holding back the whole time (but was crippled anyway (but it doesn't matter because hes a perpetual (which also doesnt matter because hes a fated chaos god)))
>>96618137I dunno, ask /hhg/
You missed the general.
>96621019Page 10 bump for you, bitch boy.
>>96620981>the Emperor and Horus fought using magic the gatheringI liked it right up until Abnett made it literal. He had a surprisingly good thing going with the sheer levels of non-euclidean fuckery of a max-level Warp duel that can only be expressed in metaphor, and then he threw it all away.
>>96618137BL fiction claims he had no effect at all and just got brutally slaughtered like Horus was fucking around, then made some stupid OC more important than he was.BL fiction is also shit and misses the point of the wounded angel and loyal son still giving it his all just enough to leave a break in Horus' armour that the Emperor can use for an at all costs victory.
>>96620449Just treat it as all 40k writing is unreliable authorship, historians recording shit they heard fourth-hand, etc. the older a publication's real date is, the closer it is to primary events and therefore more reliable. You get to take all the fluff, but old trumps new whenever a conflict appears. you never let the later inbred generations of GW writers retcon anything.
>>96628217NTA but you were gonna bump it anyways, bumpcuck. In fact you're probably ecstatic he gave your little estrogenated dicklet a victim complex stiffy.
>>96628379Nope, it's permanently canon that the Emperor's immortal friends hired an eldar to assassinate MLK Jr. We all just have to live with that now.
>>96618137Sangy knew he died to Horus so for the Emperor to survive he had to die first
>>96619627>>96620406Jesus Christ why are you in every fucking thread Are you the same retard who goes “omg stop it wonderfag”
>>96630445>Gets mad when questioned about his gamesweirdo
>>96630445Do you have time to be in every thread too because you have no games?
If Sanguinus didn't die to Horus then Emps would have still though Horus was redeemable and not blow him the fuck up
>>96634934But Horkus DID get redeemed by Neoth after their YuGiOh duel thobeight. Did you even read The End And Death Part 3?
>>96618137
>>96618137My headcanon is still that sanguinius killed horus but fell to the black rage and proceeded to beat up emps who just arrived. The "horus killed the emperor" is just the biggest cover up the empire ever didI will ignore every evidence to the contrary
>>96635511I like this version.Another I heard is that Horus tripped over Sanguinus's body when coming down the steps in his massive and cumbersome terminator armour, impaled himself on the Emperor's sword while squashing the Emperor flat under his incredible bulk. Terminator armour is fucking heavy and there is no way Horus could have seen where he was placing his feet.
