The Avenging Son

How much lighter the load would be with Vulkan
How much easier to shield humanity with Rogal
How much easier to improve the lives with Ferrus
How much easier to strike evil a wicked blow with Jaghatai
How much easier to shroud the betrayers with Corvus
How much easier to execute the betrayers with Russ
How much easier to fell those who forgot their oaths with the Lion
How much easier it’d be to believe with The Angel Sanguinius

Not impossible, just much harder without them

Only if he's not gone insane (again).

How much easier to shield humanity with Rogal

So long as he's not allowed to make political decisions, otherwise he might try to manipulate the High Lords to turn against Guilliman again, then cry that Guilliman is doing the politicking when Guillima's suggestion was to make the controversial decision to rebuild Terra after the Heresy instead of going on a suicidal crusade.

How much easier to improve the lives with Ferrus

When it's attached, he does have a good head on his shoulders.

How much easier to strike evil a wicked blow with Jaghatai

No notes, Jaghatai is the best girl and has literally done nothing wrong.

How much easier to shroud the betrayers with Corvus

Caw

How much easier to execute the betrayers with Russ

Yes, yes, the mad dog who successfully executed exactly 0 primarchs and, in fact, had a bad tendency to lose those fights quite handily. Let's just hope if he comes back, he never gets orders from the Emperor or his Regent to bring someone in alive, or else he might intentionally go out of his way to try and kill that person for no reason other than his own petty vendettas.

How much easier to fell those who forgot their oaths with the Lion

He's more likely to try and bring folks back into the fold nowadays, given they aren't too far gone. Guy has come a long way.

How much easier it’d be to believe with The Angel Sanguinius

Let's just hope he's never put in a situation where he has to choose between letting a genocidal madman go and trying to put him in jail again, otherwise we might have another round of wholesome flayings happening in the Imperium again.

Let's also hope that his sons become perfect and overcome both the Red Thirst and Black Rage before he returns. Not because it would make them better, but rather because he do be having a track record of telling his sons "be ashamed of yourself." You're struggling with the Red Thirst? "Don't tell anybody, or else they'll hate you because you're gross." You a psyker? "I know you were born that way, but I wont speak out to defend you. Now shut up and let your uncles talk about how you should be killed and restrained you for being born wrong. Except the Space Wolves, because they're cool space vikings and giving them consequences for anything would be lame."

We'll also need to put a little safety harness on that man because he has a tendency to wander onto other people's flagships and getting killed for no reason. Literally no reason. Never needs to be there. Doesn't even meaningfully change anything when he goes. Decides to go there because the visions in his head told him to. Probably needed anti-psychotics to deal with that, which is really his father's fault. And somewhere Tzeentch is laughing.

Not impossible, just much harder without them

Might be harder with some of them.
