Heya DakkaDakka.
I usually make Custom Primarch models for a few of my friends.
One of them Plays a Pre-Heresy Blood Angels army and has a Sanguinius Model.
He wants to field him in his army but doens't know of any rules for him.

Here is one I made, please make any changes to it as you see fit.

There's likely going to be a ruleset for Sanguinus released with the new Forge World Horus Heresy books, they already have Angron, Horus, Moratorion, and Fulgrim. Those four are all at least WS 7, BS 5, S 6, T 6, W 5, I 5, A 5, Ld 10 with certain stats increased by a point or two to create different statlines for different Primarchs, they've got their own set of Primarch special rules (Independent Character, Eternal Warrior, Fear, Adamantium Will, Fleet, Fearless, It Will Not Die), and a few other unique rules and gear, ranging from 380pts for Fulgrim to 500 for Horus. I'd advise starting from WS 8, BS 5, S 7, T 6, W 6, I 7, A 5, Ld 10 for Sanguinus and then building him some special rules.

I'd wait for the horus heresy book on him. Also, there is a bunch of semi-official rules for him out there online.

**Marshal Farrow Calahan**

Thanks, I'll wait for Forgeworld to make the rules for the remaining primarchs

**AnomanderRake**

It's been pretty funny to me that I've spent years pointing out to people that all we know about the Primarchs is Imperial propaganda and writing WS9-10 7-Wound 500pt monstrosities is a bit of an exaggeration, then have GW come out with official rules that aren't that far off of the old house rules.

he should have 2+ invunerable save else he is worse than the sangiunor

His sword should be AP2 as all the aprimarchs released so far only fight with AP2 close-combat weapons. In Fear to Tread it is mentioned that ge uses a custom infernus pistol so maybe a master-crafted one or with increased range. As he seems to be capable of true flight and almost as big as a mostrous creature I think he should be avle to move like a FMC instead of just being capable of long leaps.
