* Mephiston:
** He tears apart a Carnifex with his bare hands.
** Conquering the Black Rage.
** Beating M'Kar.
* Lemartes:
** His new model.
** He still retains his mind, even though he is in the grip of the Black Rage.
* Commander Dante:
** A Space Marine that lived more than a thousand years? This is a universe where everything is trying to kill you, and even with constant fighting he is still alive.
** Being chosen as the overall commander of the Second Armaggedon War.
* "For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my battle-brother eternal."
* Rafen
** Using the Spear of Telesto to banish Malfallax back to the Warp.
** Using the Spear of Telesto to bring back the Blood Angels who had fallen to the Black Rage.
** In ''Red Fury'', his epic LastStand against the Bloodfiend Alpha, his very back against the tomb of Sanguinius. What does our hero do when confronted by a mutant that had killed a [[WalkingTank Dreadnaught]] in melee? Gives a BadassBoast ("This is as far as you go"), stabs it in the heart with his combat knife, then grabs Mephiston's Force Sword to impale its secondary heart.
** Contacting Baal to warn the Blood Angels leadership about what's been going on with Arkio and Stele, using the vox rig on the fallen Sergeant Koris. [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight He knows that using a dead man's equipment like that is grounds for considerable censure, but is willing to risk it for the future of the Chapter.]]
** Killing labcoat-made-of-human-flesh-wearing MadScientist and veteran of the Literature/HorusHeresy Fabius Bile. Multiple times. Especially awesome, considering he was still suffering from Bile's tortures, earlier wounds against the Tyranids and having [[BodyHorror a Chaos/Tyranid hybrid organism implanted in his chest.]]
* Apothecary Meros
** Carrying out a HeroicSacrifice to contain the ragefire and prevent the Blood Angels from falling to Chaos. But not before removing his own geneseed for future use by the Blood Angels.
* Sanguinius himself. As if first encounter with Ka'Bandha wasn't impressive enough, they meet again during Siege of Terra. The second time it was a CurbStompBattle that ended with Bloodthirter's back being broken by the Primarch.
** During the Siege of Terra, Sanguinius was constantly in a thick of fighting fending of traitor Astartes, daemons and his brothers for weeks. It is widely believed that if the Angel would have met Horus at his peek condition, the battle between them could have ended quite differently. [[note]]It is also widely believed that should have Horus waited just a little longer before initiating the duel with the Emperor, the entire Sons of Horus legion (the one charged to assault the wall manned by The Angel) would have been wiped out of existence.[[/note]]
* Sanguinor the Exemplar of the Host.
** While no one really know what he is, he repeatedly appears out of nowhere to help the Blood Angels chapters in times of need. One such encounter ended with Sanguinor owning Ka'Bandha via grabbing the bloodthirster, carting him into orbit [[DisneyVillainDeath and then dropping him back onto the planet.]] Then he rose again and helped remaining Blood Angels finish off remains of the daemonic army of Ka'Bandha and seal the warp portal.
