Often considered to be the greatest of his kin, Sanguinius is a peerless warrior, masterful strategist and beloved hero of the Imperium. Among the Primarchs, there were few who would speak ill of him, with even grim figures such as Perturabo and Ferrus Manus offering grudging praise of their winged brother.

Many among that legendary brotherhood were surprised to find that the Emperor named Horus as the first among them, rather than choosing Sanguinius, and those who survived the Age of Darkness have been known to speculate that this was their father’s great mistake. For even as the wars of the Horus Heresy tore the Imperium apart and set even the noblest of his brothers on dark paths, Sanguinius remained untarnished and resolute, a beacon of hope that outshone even the darkness of that age.

Sanguinius is sculpted in the midst of battle, wings spread as he swoops down, confronting a Daemon of the Ruinstorm. When modelled with the scenic display base, Sanguinius is held aloft by rocks and a hand upon the Daemon’s horn, as though descending to deliver the killing blow. Sanguinius’ ornately designed armour, and the animal pelt he wears draped over it, provide a variety of textures and designs sure to delight painters, while his face is a mix of majesty and fury that perfectly reflects the duality of the Blood Angels Legion. A choice of weapons – the Blade Encarmine and the Spear of Telesto – allow the model to be customised to the builder’s choice.

Sanguinius, Primarch of the Blood Angels, is supplied in 26 resin components, including a choice of two weapons, along with a 40mm base. It comes in a Horus Heresy Character Series box.

This bundle also includes a limited edition diorama base. Made up of 26 resin parts, this features a Chaos-warped landscape with spikes jutting from the ground, and the body of a Daemon of the Ruinstorm that Sanguinius has cast down. It comes with a 60mm base. Sanguinius’ 40mm gaming base fits within this to make a suitable display piece of your majestic Primarch.

Rules for Sanguinius, Primarch of the Blood Angels are available in The Horus Heresy Book Eight – Malevolence
