If true it's pretty much what I predicted would happen, just a bit sooner than I expected, I can hardly wait. The surviving primarchs will also start returning & we'll see if my idea of Sanguinious completing his Christ like edit & returning from the dead bears fruit. He's the only one who could take the Emperors place on the throne of mankind & make it work after all. Sanguinious was/is the only primarch loved & respected by everyone & had no enemies among his brothers before the heresy. Even Horus said that Sanguinious was the most like the Emperor in his qualities, with an added dose of humility to help keep him grounded. Heck given how Sanguinious has been almost deified himself by the cult of the Emperor even the inquisition would have a hard time opposing him. Ultimately Sanguinious revived is the only one who would have any chance of holding the Empire together following the Emperors final transformation into a warp god. As for how he could return from the dead I believe the secret lies with the black rage the haunts the Blood Angels & their successor chapters. Sanguinious was more closely linked with his sons on a psychic level than any other primarch (which is how Kha'Banda was able lay him low by killing 500 of his sons at once & why the Blood Angels went berserk when he was killed). My thought is that he was so closely linked to his sons that when he died his spirit was anchored to them & prevented from falling into the warp & remains linked to them to this day (which also might explain the Sanguinor that occasionally appears to save his sons in moments of great peril). If I am right a powerful enough individual could heal his body (still held in stasis at Ba'al) & draw his spirit back into his waiting flesh. This might all be wishful thinking but given how Sanguinious is viewed as an almost Christ like figure, sacrificing himself to damage Horus armor & give the Emperor the opening he would need to defeat him, I believe his return from the dead to mirror Christ's is very real possibility.
