well the lion didn't really have a say in being put in stasis and guilliman didn't intend to be wounded from a weapon that will kill him (i still think it will kill him if his stasis is switched off). but corax, russ, and vulkan (did khan leave or get captured?) are definitely irresponsible for bailing but, as mentioned, maybe they were a teensy bit upset, and unstable, after 'daddy fell down' :)

after finding out about vulkan's perpetualness i'm frankly shocked that he has remained out of touch. until/unless emps regenerates (if he can) then surely vulkan would be the ultimate imperial leader, or at the very least imperial figurehead - he has nothing to fear from any enemy, what's the worst they can do, kill him? no biggie, he's up and at 'em in next to no time. he seems to be truly immortal and such a leader or figurehead is exactly what the imperium needs - they once had such in the emperor.
