Claws and Effect Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 So my wife and I were discussing 40k lore and hit on an idea to bring Sanguinius back. You ready? ... ... ...convince the Orks that he is alive and well. I mean, Yarrick is effectively immortal because the Orks believe he cannot die. It's even represented in his table top rules. All that needs to happen is for a big enough WAAAGH to gather and the Sanguinor shows up. Instead of yelling "Hail the Sanguinor!" all they have to do is yell "Hail Sanguinius!" instead. We shared the idea with the GW store manager we're good friends with (who is very knowledgeable about the lore), and he said, and I quote: "I want to argue against it.....but I can't. If you got enough Orks to believe it, it would probably work." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah_of_Rock_n_Rolla Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 It's an older thread, but it checks out. Certainly one of the more ingenious ideas for bringing Sanguinius back that i have seen. But is this "if Orcks belive it works" thing 100% kosher?

Claws and Effect Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 But is this "if Orcks belive it works" thing 100% kosher? If you mean "does it really work that way?" then yes. Their red ones really are faster, blue is really a lucky color, and a scrap of metal bolted to a handle can penetrate Terminator armor. Because they believe those things to be true. They have a psychic gestalt that is essentially the subconscious of the entire race giving things power. The more Orks that believe something, the more true it becomes. And if Guilliman can come back via Eldar shenanigans, Sanguinius can come back because the Orks believe he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_son_of_Dorn Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Sang-ork-inus. Change the death company to green and the red ones already "GOEZ FASTA" Sure why not, then Russ can come back when the tau invent a transdimensional dog whistle.

Charlo Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I mean, it's the Orks belief that the Emperor is the biggest baddest boss that's keeping him alive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Leave Sanguinius alone. He died for the Emperor, he may rest now. Make the Orks believe that Dante is Sanguinius. Now the old man can never die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkhel Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Leave Sanguinius alone. He died for the Emperor, he may rest now. Make the Orks believe that Dante is Sanguinius. Now the old man can never die. Or when he dies, we get another psychic backlash :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unseen Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 This whole thread is Heresy of the highest order. *goes off to find his flamer* More seriously, the ork gestalt field thing sort of patches up holes in Orkish engineering. It doesn't let an ork have a gun that doesn't need ammo, it let's that ork shoot incredibly over-powdered crude poorly constructed ammo out of a barrel made of scrap metal and not have it instantly explode or jam. Or, you know, make a functioning plasma containment field that doesn't melt when you first turn it on. Or not needing to vacuum seal their ships entirely.

The_son_of_Dorn Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Dante reads Sangunius has risen, finds out its due to ork "religon" Dante promptly has a stroke and dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychobi Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Or do blood angels prove there is a little space ork in all of us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
