Apologies, double post!

On Sanguinius and the Lion - I also think that the Lion growing up on Caliban with chaos corrupted beasts is a testement to his power and resistance to corruption. If we look at both these Primarchs, they are 2 of the most loyal and have/had remarkable resistance to chaos corruption, given their beginnings and the instable genome of Sanguinius.

They are proof of the potential all of the Primarchs had for loyalty and that those who turned traitor done so willingly for the most part imo. An upbringing like the Lions would argubly leave him a prime candidate for corruption, yet he is one of the most loyal. Some traitors had less 'chaotic' upbringings and yet turned. To me this shows that it is a combination of their upbringing, original nature, treatment by the Emperor, and many, many other things.

I wish there was more of Sanguinius in the HH books as he is one of my favorites, with the Lion and Guilliman, actually I like almost all of them, they are my favorite parts to read in the books. We need a loyalist back!
