GrantDaKiller Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Its my turn again this week. Before the Showdown lets get a look at the previous winners. Week One: Skraal Week Two: Saul Tarvitz Week Three: Tarik Torgaddon Week Four: Khârn Week Five: Sigismund Week Six: Garro Week Seven: Ingo Petch Week Eight: Zahariel Week Nine: ?????? Its time now to resolve one of those unfinished conflicts in the Horus Heresy series: Loken Vs. Abaddon. Although Abaddon technically wins the fight, it's not really a win as the battle is disrupted. So is they fought it out again, who would win??

Tyear Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 How much I like Loken, Abbadon in TDA would kick his ass three ways from Sunday. The 'clone son' of Horus.. yeah.. you'd be dead.

Yaji Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 easiest one yet, Abaddon wins, regardless of armor :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163915-horus-heresy-battle-royale-week-nine-loken-vs-abaddon/#findComment-1926989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyp100 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Loken is kick ass...For his character. Abaddon is as strong as the hulk, I mean, he is one of the biggest Astartes ever, and he is the rumored Son of Horus, which I can believe... So, sorry, Abaddon would win hands down.

JEFF4i Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I hate Abaddon, was explaining it yesterday (know a couple people in my group frequent here now), he's everything that I despise about Chaos. Why? He's practically pure evil, and not in a cool way like the World Eaters, Night Lords, or whatnot. As much as I hate to say it... I still pick Abaddon. He's tough as nails, can't stand the pony-tailed prat, but he'd win.

Maijin Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 As the only dude sanctioned to kick ass by all four chaos gods ... yea, that's a pretty easy call. Abby is a walking demigod.

Skirax Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I go for Loken. In the book, when he is attacking Abaddon, he has this sudden burst of strength at his hatred for the *BLEEEEEEEEEP* and drives his chainsword into the armour of Abaddon, nearly puncturing his ribs, but then he is yanked away by Abaddon, flung to the floor and then the building collapses on him.

Ju'kosian Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Altough I would like Loken to win this showdown, I still think Abaddon would win.. So my vote goes to Abby Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163915-horus-heresy-battle-royale-week-nine-loken-vs-abaddon/#findComment-1927048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kharloth Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Loken is a far better tactician and commander than he is a combatant im not saying that he is incompetent, no doubt in my mind that he could whoop any other space marine, but that abbadon is hate, rage and martial prowess made form. Sorry but my vote goes to abbadon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163915-horus-heresy-battle-royale-week-nine-loken-vs-abaddon/#findComment-1927053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Abaddon. He pretty much surpasses Loken in every single field of expertise.

Twin .44 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Should I even answer this question? but then again, this is before Abaddon became a Chaos Ascendant (or whatever). It would be an awesome fight, and both would no doubt be beaten to a pulp, but ultimately it would be Abaddon. I was rather sad when Loken died though.

marshal seanisi Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 This is Painful to say but Abaddon wins this. I think it's safe to say based on the fluff and what we know of him that he is the strongest of the Chaos Chumps!!! My guess is that there is only one clear path for contest to take..Abaddon VS Sigismund for the final showdown...(Can't say I like the odds of that Matchup though) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163915-horus-heresy-battle-royale-week-nine-loken-vs-abaddon/#findComment-1927146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Caesar_ Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I hate Abaddon, he's really nothing more than a physically enhanced (and eventually Chaos empowered) bully turned mass murderer. That being said, his hand-to-hand combat skills are unparalleled. Loken, on the other hand, is probably more proficient a combatant than most of his brethren, but I agree with Lord Kharloth's statement that he is a better commander than combatant. With all that to think about, if Loken could decide the conditions of the encounter, he would win. It would be a tough fight, but I think his cunning and unyielding will would pull him through. In any other case Abaddon would likely crush him so, as much as it pains me to do so, I'd have to go with Abaddon. Of course there's always the chance that Loken would win by virtue of a deus ex machina style intervention on the part of the Emperor ;).

JEFF4i Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Once we get to the finals, with Sigismund, Khârn, Abaddon (think its safe to say, but we'll see) its going to get brutal! Good.

Skirax Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Wouldn't it be the Ultimate Paradox if Loken was the Emperor? *insert 'Psycho' theme tune here* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163915-horus-heresy-battle-royale-week-nine-loken-vs-abaddon/#findComment-1927327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vassakov Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Abbadon. No question. Even before they fell, Abbadon was the preeminant soldier of the XVI legion. Loken, for all his many virtues was little more than a naysaying line officer.

Mrph45 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I could see Loken winning a fight with Abbadon if he wasn't already exhausted from battle like he was in the books. I'm not saying it would be easy but I can see him "dodge, duck, dive, and dodge" ^_^ around the TDA. He'd take hits and be pretty messed up in the end, but I think he's take him down. Abbadon would probably be to enamored by his own skills to take loken as a true threat.

Sgt Rafen Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This is a tough one, hhmmm looking at Abbadon pre heresy he and loken would be a close match I would say Loken just because of his hatred for Abbadon and the betrayal, that would give him much more of a fighting will which can tip the balance of the fight.

Brother-chaplain Astador Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Lol Loken could never win He stabbed abaddon, but abaddon just threw him to the side afterward like a child Did abaddon not have 'the greatest tally of victories of all the luna wolves bar the warmaster'? He was probably the hardest/most combat powerful space marine there was..

Captain Kael Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 As much as I want Loken to win, the winner is Abaddon. His brute strength and cunning make him second to only the Warmaster and thats why he anhilated Loken in the book.
