What is your expectation of Lion El Jonson from FW?

Eh, my thing about 1.)is that the first time round, the Lion sucker punched Curze and had to leave the battlefield with his throat cut after being strangled. The second time round, the Lion simply did a better job of sucker punching. The third time round the Lion had Guilliman as backup and they had to leave to another planet to avoid being killed. Three unfair fights and only one victory. Doesn't sound so good that way.

Why are you basing WS on whether the Lion wins or loses?

 

1. If face duelling with Curze and he won, does this mean Lion have higher WS than Curze?

 

If you read my later posts, you'll notice yhat I advocate his WS should be based on his ability to handle a sword.

Obviously, in the fight between Primarchs, there are a lot of variables and circumstances, they are all equal given their genetic heritage and yet, there are differences in the skill gap.  Lion, skilled duelist and huntsman, Curze, killer, terrorizer. 

The first fight is obviously Lion underestimating Curze. If Lion is skillful, he will purposefully prevent Curze from getting near to him; we can the points of where Lion's blade had left him in the fight that lasted less than 60 seconds. Straight one on one fight. I am surprised Lion did not kill him while letting him fall and honour him as a slain opponent. 

In Unremembered Empire, Curze just employed his strength and skill to the fullest which you will expect after falling into coma thanks to Lion.

Lion should have cool Precise Attack rule too...

I love how he defeat a Tzeentch Greater Daemon I think.

Too bad he doesnt do roar as Russ howls...
