Horus Heresy Battle Royale: Week Nine: Loken Vs. Abaddon

Hmm...depends on if Loken is smart enough to take apower sword instead of that chainsaw ^_^ :)

 

Otherwise it would definitely be Abaddon. But Loken would hurt him, and give him a hair cut. Then again, one on one, because if memory serves me didn't Loken have him trapped and then spend a while watching Torgadden get killed, without a distraction...Maybe Loken then, but probably Abaddon

Damn I missed the early battles... Shame Iacton lost but happy that Garro and Siggy won. Garro vs Sigismund for the finals!

 

As for the topic... The traitor Abbadon wins it. Loken had his moments in their fight but mostly the Abby dude seemed to have the upper hand.

 

Vote Abbadon.

I want to give it to Loken because he made those books but Abaddon is Abaddon. Outside of Horus, he's the only one to have banded all the Traitor Legions together, which means he had to have been all sorts of BAMF when he was just a Captain of the first Company.
Poor garvi having proved himself on battle after battle and fight after fight, against such foes bested as Khârn, Lucius ( in a duel), and the countless worlds he took in the name of the warmaster, i have to still give it to abaddon for a 1v1 duel.

I clearly stand alone in this, but I say Garvi...

 

I refer to Abaddon as Abaddon the Failer due to how his Fail Crusades keep failing.

And if Garvi hadn't gotten distracted, he would've gotten him...

 

But that's just my £0.02...

Abbadon. Filled with rage. As was stated, "almost as fast in Tactical Dreadnought Armour as a normal battle-brother in Mk IV Plate". So, he has quickness.

 

Plus, if all else fails, he has the topknot!

Not the dreaded topknot!

Both warriors at their peak?

 

If Garviael can beat the pre-emminent swordsman in the children, shrug off months of combat with others marines and still stand toe to toe with a fresh abbadon...my money is on him.

 

Remember this is abbdon without the warmaster's talon or drachneyen...he's a guy with a mace, a combi-bolter and a bad haircut. Loken got hit by plot as he could never win that fight and have abadon in the modern universe...it's probably why he#'s so pissed at the universe...he knew he could only beat loken with plot on his side

 

:rolleyes:

I think we are selling Loken's abilities in combat a bit short, especially dealing with Pre-Heresy Abaddon. Little Horus mentions in Horus Rising that Loken is the best of the Mournival with a blade.

 

However, as Loken himself says in the next line, "Skill with a blade isnt everything" and I think Abaddon would just be too potent a foe, Pre or Post-Heresy.

I vote Loken.

 

Consider the battle at the end of Galaxy in Flames when Loken and Abaddon fight.

 

Loken: Exhausted, injured from fighting with Khârn only moments before, wearing power armor.

Abaddon: Fresh, rested, wearing terminator armor.

 

And yet the fight was very, very close. If you put a rested, uninjured loken against Abaddon in equivalent suits of armor, Loken pwns. Abaddon lets his temper get the best of him and he becomes wild and reckless. This almost destroyed him as it is. Loken is much calmer, more level headed and creative.

 

Winner: Loken.
