One more bit of fuel for the "Navigators are psykers" fire - when two Navigators duel, they do so using their third eye as their weapon. That's been fluff for a very long time.

Well, no one knows for sure. There are many theories about it, including
1. The Sanguinor is a psychic construct which is given life by the collective resolve of the Blood Angels chapter.
2. He is Azkaellon, the last surviving the Sanguinary Guard member after the Horus Heresy. Some believe that the Emperor's divine power has preserved him through the millenia.
3. He is no other than Sanguinius himself, either his noble spirit or the Primarch himself by some strange twist of reality and time.

And yeah, he could be considered a saint, given his mysterious appearances and his unbelievable power.


And therefor indeed a mini-god, in any way.

Given that Sanguinius is already considered a Saint (the only primarch to be considered a saint I believe), I wouldn't be surprised.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Not that this has any real bearing on WH40k in general, but in FFG's "The Blood of Martyrs", it states that Living Saints are usually (but not always) Adepta Sororitas, but must always be female.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

There is one Living Saint that I know of: Saint Drusus, conqueror and founder of the Calixis Sector, who died and was resurrected 10 days later during the Achilus Crusade.

But he isn't really living anymore...

But Him and Thor, were both males considered to be saints while still alive (and still are)

Males have Primarchs to aspire to.

I don't break the rules but I'll bend them as far as they'll go.

In the Warp, getting trolled by Tactical_Spam, AKA TZEENTCH INCARNATE

In the mini-series The Red Path there's a male Living Saint named Lozepath. He has some pretty nifty psychic powers and relics, and manages to fight off Khârn for a while until he -like every other character up against Khârn in this series- gets hacked into very tiny bits.

He was kind of a prick, too, making some poor old cardinal permanently blind because the old man feared that Lozepath would get killed during the Chaos invasion headed their way... which is exactly what ends up happening



Tactical_Spam: Ezra is fighting reality right now.

War Kitten: Vanden, you just taunted the Dank Lord Ezra. Prepare for seven years of fighting reality...

War Kitten: Ezra can steal reality

Kharne the Befriender:Took him seven years but he got it wrangled down

This thread is six years old.

Theres also no generic living saint model, only one for a special character, who is very much not a male.

since someone already ressurected this thread, I thought I'd toss out there that Gulliman's divinity was ascertained and reckongized in GS3, so I belive Gulliman proably qualifies now as a living saint.

Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two
