I like how Abaddon points out that he didn't manage to beat him because he got better at fighting, but because Sigismund with age finally stepped down to their level.

The best part of Sigismunds' last words? That is EXACTLY how Horus died.

Sigismund, the 40k equivalent of "Man literally to angry to die."
@helghastslayah1367 5 years ago

Sigismund’s soul never dissipated into the warp. It just came back as Sly Marbo
@forgefartherloki6585 5 years ago

He died as a true black templar. Giving chaos another reason to wet themselves.

Later in the depths of the warp. The Legion of the Damned got a new member.

Soulless, Honorless, Weeping, Ashamed. I would like to see Abbadon's face, if Sigismund would return as Living Saint.
@Abbadon380 5 years ago

Soulless,honourless ,weeping ashamed ....EPIC

I wonder how many times Abbadon had to glue his arms back on after this.
@CommanderBohn 5 years ago

Hence why Black Templars deserve to have their own Codex back.
@The_Blood_Wraith 5 years ago

We know he dies and dies well to the point that abaddon even honors him buy returning his body with honorable care. so let the story be told. For Dorn...... For the Emperor

Sigismund was a true Heir of Dorn and Servant of the God-Emperor. May the God-Emperor watch over his soul in the Immaterium
@Abbadon380 5 years ago

Did you have to make me look so fat.
@captaincancer7786 4 years ago

Suddenly my new head-canon is that Abbadon did kill Sigimund instantly, the only reason he thought Sigismund's corpse was speaking to him was because it was the manifestation of his own guilt mocking him.

The greatest duelist of all Astartes, founder of the best Imperial Fist successor chapter, one of the few Imperial Fist whom I like and respect. Sigismund you have earned your place at the Emperors table in the afterlife.

By the end of this video, I went from owning 0 Black Templars, to having 3000points worth.

In his final moments sig was trying to count the number of primarchs that died during the heresy. Since there is no way he could know about the clone

This vid is gonna stay bookmarked so that before i play a game with templars i will be reminded of why i purge
@callisto1234 5 years ago

This is the moment i really started to appreciate abbadon and his vision for the imperium. He was fighting for what he believed was right. He didnt want to kill sigismund but his ambitions demanded his death. He even regretted it afterwards and was awestruck by the quality of a warrior that sig was. I remember khayon saying that sig was old. Ancient even. He didnt die, he hated us too much
