Of course GW could bring back sanguinious if they wanted to. They could ressurect him as a divine pidgeon who likes to perch on top of the golden throne and take the emperors husk for rides, zapping heretics with psychic blasts from the emperor's sullen eyesockets, returning him after a few days to some pissed off custodes who just shat themselves when they noticed the emperor was gone.

What I think you're asking though is how COOL would it be if they did, and in what manner should they if they chose to do so. Well, I think it would be cool if they brought back sanguinious, or any other loyalist primarch for that matter. For they are all essentially 'dead' from a 40k perspective, and you know that must be deliberate. Probably because they fluffed the primarchs up retrospectively, and did not want their survival to interfere with 40k canon. This is also why the traitor primarchs are so content in the eye of terror, another deliberate move.

So how could they bring sanguinious back... well. I suppose a black crusade lead by more than abaddon could make it to terra and defile the golden throne. As the ruinous hand of chaos is on the kill switch, it is chopped off by the blade of sanguinious. Most faithful guardian of the Emperor, who leads a counter charge with berzerk fury. The risen angel was brought back to life by the Emperor, through the power of trillions of faithful worshipers, to lead a united astartes push to turn back the forces of Chaos. Because only Sanguinious and his Blood Angels under their beloved primarch could hope to purge holy terra of the traitorous filth and restore balance in a berzerk fury. The astronomican dims as the Emperor channels his mighty power into sustaining Sanguinious link to the material world. When the last xeno dies, the winged primarch knows what he must do. And so he turns the sword on himself, and the astronomican returns to full strength.
