Certainly isn't incompatible with other versions involving Horus crippling Sangy in close combat first. The Warmaster's psychic assault echoed not just throughout space, but also throughout time.ĭoesn't say anywhere that they never found each other, or even never faced each other in close combat, only that he made sure that Sanguinius' death was painful, with a psychic assault. Horus, in his limitless malice, made sure that Sanguinius's death was the most painful and foul that the boundless evils in his service could administer.

Sanguinius is thought to have undergone unimaginable psychic damage at the hands of the Warmaster who, it is believed by many Blood Angels, could not best him in personal combat. :confused: I'm looking at the IA article now, and I can't find anything to support that 'interpretation'. Horus used his psychic powers to torment Sanguinius from long range because he knew he was no match for Sanguinius in close combat, eventually killing him with a massive psychic assault. This fluff is annoying - as if the current three versions of the story weren't enough there's also the version in the Blood Angels Index Astartes which says Sanguinius never even found Horus. At this point the combined ruthless killing of both the primarch of the blood angels, the terminator that walks in and all those others hits home and the emperor finally realises something is amis and does what he must do. The emp then meets horus and they square off, then in walks said terminator and horus fries him. Emp teleports on board with his forces and sanguinious get beaten up and dies, sanginous does this for reasons unknown. He commands from there untill the palace is under seige and lowers his shields. The loalists are then driven back to the main palce by the chaos forces.

Horus then teleported out to his flag ship where he knows he can command the war more effectibly. The loyal forces lead by the emperor tried a couter attack on said bunker the above happened. In the early stages of the fight for terra horus was on terra itself in a command bunker leading his troops. Personally i reason that it did happen and it happened like this: Horus was gonna frag the emp when he was not looking or something and the IG bloke jumps in the way taking the hit and probably being reduced to a fine ash at the same time. The Ollanius Pious thing took place on terra in the warmasters bunker, this is instead of on the flagship in orbit.
