Not only did Sanguinius do it, but he wounded Horus so badly he was unable to kill the Emperor. And Sanguinius was tired, and already wounded after the most savage fight of the entire Horus Heresy.

He also broke a greater daemon prince's back and tossed his corpse into the well of eternity, closing it.

Not only did Horus kill him, but he felt the need to kill him so hard his descendants are STILL feeling it.

As far as single-handed accomplishments are concerned, Sanguinius completely takes the cake. What did Russ ever do, or any of the other loyalist primarchs? Who cares if Robot Jellyman wrote a book. Sanguinius knew he was going to his death, and that if he didn't suffer the worst that the entire chaos realm had to throw at him, he would ensure the death of mankind after Horus offed the emperor.

Sanguinius is like 40k's representation of Jesus. Except more badass, and less preachy.

I think this is a point for Horus, isn't it?

Rogal Dorn took the nearly dead body of the Emperor from the Vengeful Spirit and if he failed with this, the death of Sanguinius would have ment nothing at all. As cool as Sanguinius is with all his uncorruptable-Angel-stuff (pesky mutant-scum!), I never get the hype...

And as we speak of single-handed accomplishments, Lorgar is the archtraitor and lead nearly half of the brotherhood of the primarchs to chaos, even if he is not the best fighter of them, he is one of the most important among them.

I think either Leman Russ or Fulgrim.

"Wounded Horus"? Sanguinius managed to create an imperceptible chink in Horus' armor, that the Emperor was able to utilize in his psychic assault. That's it. He was faaaaar from "wounding" him.

I don't see how Russ is so popular-he's an arrogant, smelly furry who pushes people around and he behaves like a savage and is even happy to kill his own brothers. He's like the ultimate neckbeard. Why does everyone like the dirtbag, donkey-cave? Oh...I guess I just realized the internet IS populated by girls
