Everyone down to Caesar was referred to as "he" and it became slightly confusing. Maybe write in first person. I enjoyed it though.
Thanks. I'm tryign to clear up the pronoun bit. However, I want it to be as if it was from Sanguinius own mind, but in third person... It's an odd view point, but if I can clear it up a bit I think it will work. That way, the reader is followng Sanguinius step by step, but is also removed by the use of a non-first person.

I hadn't thought of the prescience bit being a bugger, but I like the idea of delirium and might try to make that work in more! Thanks!
