"The Primarch's sacrifice is thought to have kept Horus occupied long enough for the Emperor to reach the Arch-Traitor in the very depths of his lair. When the Emperor at last entered Horus' sanctum, he found the rebellious Warmaster standing above Sanguinius' broken, bleeding corpse. In the battle that followed, Horus was finally vanquished, though the Emperor had also been mortally wounded and was near to death. There are many tales told of this final battle and, though the exact facts are long lost, one detail holds through all the recitations of the millennia since. Despite the Emperor's great power, he could never have bested Horus had not the blade of Sanguinius wrought a chink in the Warmaster's armour, and because of this, the Blood Angels claim him to be the greatest of all Primarchs."

Some floor decoration.

In no way does that sound like propaganda. Bits of your armour missing don't affect psychic powers and Horus wanted to fight the Emperor so they were going to fight anyway.

Except it's been mentioned elsewhere physical contact is required for the soul destroying attack. Which is why Emperor was saved by the ork warlord by Horus. It's not just deus-ex-machine attack that can be activated at will.

The problem I have with that is that his head is exposed. So the emperor could have grabbed there???? I dunno just a thought of the moment.

It defines the setting well but pivotal it is not.

Seeing what Horus did to Sanguinius is what gets the Emperor to take off the gloves and actually finish Horus. Without that it's quite possible that Horus kills the Emperor. No warp travel for humans, no keeping the broken portal in the basement closed so terra is now the centre of another eye of terror. The Imperium no longer exists. Pretty pivotal.

No it's not. That's Ollanius Pius. Sanguinius was a floor decoration.

Christ you dont even know most recent fluff in spite of being told it several times PM..... its Ol Person, not Olanius Pius, and have you ever heard of "the straw that broke the camels back", if you dont realise that Sanguinius's death was THE major factor for the Emperor wanting to take down Horus at that time, you really dont know how humans work at all.
