Death of Septicus

What is the source for the note? It certainly isn't Plague War, which on two separate occasions calls out the Emperor's Sword as being permadeath for daemons: "‘I am,’ said Ku’gath, deciding the course of honesty was best. ‘The sword he bears burns with the wounding fires of the Anathema. The death it carries allows no rebirth, only an end. The sword is the creation of the being I will not name. It is a weapon that could kill me. It could kill you.’ ‘Nothing can kill me.’ ‘Ah, Lord Mortarion, do not be so sure,’ said Ku’gath with exaggerated sagacity. ‘Qaramar was lucky. He is present at the end, he always has been, and therefore always will be. Fate grants him protection neither you nor I can claim. We must be cautious.’" -- Chapter 4, and

"The Emperor’s sword burned bright. Septicus shrank back from its blowtorch roar. His eyes shrivelled in his head, their jelly running in thick tears down his face. He never saw the blow that ended him. The fires of the sword doused themselves in his guts. Septicus looked down sightlessly at the weapon buried up to its hilt in his heart. ‘And when you are driven from this universe,’ said Guilliman, ‘I shall purge yours also, until the warp is purified, and calm comes again to the minds and souls of humanity, though you shall never see it.’ No chronicle would mark Septicus’ last words as worthy. ‘But–’ was all he said. Shouting, Guilliman ripped the Sword of the Emperor up through Septicus’ disintegrating body, cutting through softening ribs, cooking rancid organs, slicing multiple chins and his bactridian skull, until it burst from the top of Septicus’ head in a shower of gore. Blackness exploded from the slain daemon. Guilliman’s sword flared bright again, driving it into shadow, and out of existence. The light of the Emperor burned Septicus away forever." -- Chapter 27. Seems like the note is fan extrapolation based on nothing that is supported in the text ... Leonnatus (talk) 11:50, 21 March 2019 (MDT)

I really don't remember why I was sure about it. Now, when I re-read the Chapter death of Septicus is obvious to me also. May be I was charmed by nature and survival of Nurgle daemons (because in Chapter 24 Septicus was also sure that he could escape death, transfering to warp before his destroying). Or I was confused by the line that 'Septicus was banished to the Warp' (and not destroyed) as it was stated by previous Paragraph (not mine) - and so thought that in 8ed Rulebook it was stated also (didn't check it in time). Anyway I've corrected article.--Darkelf77 (talk) 13:16, 21 March 2019 (MDT)
