so what supposedly happened to the man after he was slain? Ive never heard anything after that. Obviously i know Abaddon turns out to be nothing more then a pickpocket but what happens to horus? and do you really think that the chaos gods just let him die off?

abaddon finds his body, takes the claw, they traitor legions then retreat to the eye of terror taking Horus' body with them, that's all we know, i mean they could have harvested his body for geneseed to make new Marines or something like that no-one knows

The Emporer's Children steal his body and try to clone it to get a new warmaster. Abaddon takes exception to this and launches a war against them to get it back. The black legion recovers it and abaddon destroys the body (I think they mentioned it was turned to ash with a emlta) so no one else tries that again going on the philosiphy that Horus had his chance and failed, it is time to move on.

Yeah I ordered it expecting to see a big, imposing monster in Terminator armor and a nasty claw but instead I get this little guy.

But I don't hate Abaddon as a part of the universe, I mean come on folks, he leads the Black Legion.

Yeah the took Horus' body and destroyed it. At least I think that's what it says in the Codex.

This is all true, Horus clones and all.
But, what happened to the body of Sanguinius? We know that Dorn took the emperor back, what of his winged brother?

According to the third Blood Angel book, hos body resided in the BA fortress monastery ... i wont try to recall the details of the exact place, but hes basically somewhere in the basement, held within a sarcophagus filled with a goldenish liquid, which makes him look vivid and beautiful as ever.

I heard that fabius bile tried to clone him, but the black legion came in and destroyed the body, and it fits as they are ashamed of horus cause he lost to the emperor.

Pretty much. He is held in the deepest basement in the BA Monastary. All the doorways to get to him are adorned with Angel Effiges and nobody has been down there since he was sealed up.

Not Sanguinius, and not Horus, I think. Sanguinius's sacrifice was too significant, from a story perspective, to bring him back to life. His whole POINT, as a character, is that he made the Ultimate Sacrifice.

That is true, he sacrificed himself to save the Imperium and for the most part, the Emperor.

But, I would not put it past them to bring him back. He has been down there awhile, we know he was tainted by Chaos because of the Wings. He was the most loved of the Primarchs. (By the other Primarchs and the citizens of the Imperium. Even Horus loved him after he was turned to Chaos.)

Honestly, if the Emperor is brought back, I almost expect him to bring back the Sanguine Angel somehow.....

You horus strangled him and the only reason the emporer could defeat Horus cause, cause Mr angel put a tiny little dent in his armour.

If I recall correctly, Horus couldn't be brought back even if the gods wanted him back.

The Emperor completely nuked his soul; there's no one left to resurrect, even if his body could be cloned. Completely nuking his soul (to a degree that made the chaos gods scared to be inside him), is what crippled him (along with the various wounds he probably suffered in the battle).

The Emperor doesn't seem to do much for you but you sure are expected to be mutilated, suffer, and die to make him happy. And is he dead or what? If he's entombed that would mean he's dead as a doornail, right? So, how can he be happy about anything you do, or even give orders to anyone? Are you worshipping the dead now? Is that something you'd really want to do? Because it sounds freaking creepy to me.

What do you mean nuked his soul?

Actually I meant "tore his soul out and put in the microwave," but I think Xav is remembering the story better than I am.

They should bring him back as a named DP anyway. Wouldn't be as ridiculous as tearing apart some kind of extensional abstraction of existence beyond physical being.

Why would the Emperor, a being of near god-like power himself, become forever crippled by using an immensely powerful attack that only destroyed someone's body, allowing them to be reincarnated at will?

Having your soul able to be destroyed forever makes just as much sense as having souls which can never be destroyed, especially when demigods have to nearly destroy themselves to do it.

The Emperor doesn't seem to do much for you but you sure are expected to be mutilated, suffer, and die to make him happy. And is he dead or what?

The emporer is not a God or a near god, and the reply better not be "try telling that to a company of Black templars".
