** Really, the idea that hope itself could return to the Imperium. After the ''Literature/HorusHeresy'' novels went out of their way to show that HumansAreBastards AND that HumansAreTheRealMonsters, that the Imperium is a monstrous entity since its inception, and that mankind would inevitably be doomed to extinction, the fact that there is now finally someone running the Imperium who has the will, power, and authority to ''defy all of that'' is a much needed rebreather.

* Pretty much everything the Lamenters Chapter does is one, but [[http://1d4chan.org/images/1/12/Lamenters_2.png this story]] makes the Salamanders look self-centred in comparison. During the Corinth Crusade, the Lamenters volunteer to liberate Slaughterhouse III, a mining world enslaved by the Orks, both to deprive the Orks of the vast resources the world would give them as well as to save the 3 million plus human slaves still left alive. Thanks to a daring surprise attack, they overwhelm the orks across the entire planet in hours and plant the seismic charges that would obliterate the planet's resources and kill everything left alive on its surface. But where most other chapters would detonate the charges, killing the world's entire human population, the Lamenters work tirelessly to evacuate everyone, even as they are attacked by wave after wave of orks. Eventually, after the Lamenters suffer more than sixty percent casualties, the people of Slaughterhouse III thank the Lamenters for all they have done and ask for a merciful death, as they don't want the Lamenters to die to the man for them. Reluctantly, the Lamenters reluctantly activate the seismic charges, destroying the planet, and escape with the few prisoners they had managed to free. The chapter's battle-cry says it all: "For those we cherish, we die in Glory."

** At the end of The Lion: Son of the Forest, the Lion learns that Guilliman is alive and has waged a war to reclaim the Imperium and has just crossed the great rift. Despite earlier in the story raging at how Guilliman with his codex astartes has broken his legion into fragments of its former glory can only think "I am not alone"

*** The Plague wars trilogy also shows that Guilliman has like his traitor brothers seen the truth of the Emperor. He never saw the Primarchs or Space Marines as anything but a tool to enact his will, the same doubts that drove many of his brothers into the arms of the Chaos gods. Guilliman faces this truth while in a future that is a warped ruin of everything he and his brothers tried to build. With no one to turn to but those that view him as a demi god or Eldar who are working him for their own ends and despite this he resolves to keep fighting and save the Imperium.
