b1soul Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yup...it's happening again. Neither is gonna die How do u guys think this is gonna end? Maybe one of them gets put into a coma...again Or a long back and forth battle, which gets interrupted Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320717-lion-vs-curze-r4-confirmed-for-aoc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hopefully something different. I'm thinking Curze turns into a girl when the Lion splashes him with cold water. Then another Primarch(maybe Guilliman) shows up and falls in love with female Curze. Then Shenanigans happen.

Master Ciaphas Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Well. It is Gav Thrope who is writing it....so expect it to be resolved via author's fiat and/or Deus Ex Machina...

Carach Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The lion finally captures Curze, who then cements his feet and throws him into the ocean. Curze is however somehow saved by some sentient, possibly daemon, sea creature. i was gonna go with airlock stuff; thrown into space and jazz but Rob's already been through that so it wouldn't be original. I prefer the idea of Curze saved by a mer-man.

b1soul Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Excellent ideas boys I like Curze saved by a big strong merman ...but in all seriousness, I really hope Thorpe doesn't muck this up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320717-lion-vs-curze-r4-confirmed-for-aoc/#findComment-4344291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I can see it now, one of the Lion's trusted advisors will step in the way, and he'll backhand their head at Curze as a distraction. Even Curze will just be like "dude, you've got some issues. I'm gonna jet and let you sort yourself out " Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320717-lion-vs-curze-r4-confirmed-for-aoc/#findComment-4344333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKnight Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I love Primarch duels, maybe even more than the next guy but this particular one needs to be put to bed.

Roomsky Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Honestly all these repeat fights would have been fine if one of them was actually going to die. Just this mounting frustration on both sides building and building before a final throw-down that only one can walk away from alive. But we're just gonna be blue-balled again. Maybe it will turn out that The Lion is secretly M'Shen? What a wonderful(ly stupid) twist that would be! Anyway, I hope their final duel takes place in a volcano. And the Lion can punch boulders or something.

HeritorA Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Lion vs Curze. Lion almost decapitates Curze, but buffon Guilliman arrives and snatch him via teleportarium due to Sanguinius orders. Task complete. That's how it will all transpire. The end.

b1soul Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 We've had 1st brawl in Savage Weapons Re-match in Prince of Crows with Curze put into a coma Lion and Curze cat-and-mouse in Unremembered Empire 2 on 1 in UE...Curze almost blows up his two bros Now...Round 4 and we know neither dies.

Forward Assist Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I only hope they get the duel out of the way early in the novel, Curze escapes, and then we see Jonson and Sanguinius punch out from the 500 worlds towards Terra. It'd be quite unrewarding if we have to slog throughthe full novel for the duel, knowing full well nothing is going to change.

Mellow Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 It's going to be unsatisfactorily bad seeing as Curze has some serious moustache twirling batman poof-and-he's-gone moves!

HeritorA Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Nothing serious will happen. By the end of the novel Lion will get back to Macragge and they will discuss how to get to Terra. The way to it would be described next novel - it's so past time we leave Ultramar behind Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320717-lion-vs-curze-r4-confirmed-for-aoc/#findComment-4346155 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaSY Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Again, I dont understand why is it so hard to understand the context. The last I checked is that Tsalgualsa is still around as Night Lords base during Scouring but not for long. Curze has escaped few times and remained at large in Eastern Fringe. For someone that is obsessed with his honor, it is obvious that Lion will hunt Curze to the end, whether he has Sanguinius's order or not. And that makes it even better, Sanguinius charged Guilliman of asking Lion to bring Curze to Macragge itself.

veterannoob Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 We'll,BL has told us sometimes covers don't match events in the books.

b1soul Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 This might just be art based on one of the previous fights, it doesn't mean there'll be another one necessarily. "Two infamous Space Marine Primarch rivals clash for the final time. With the Dark Angels spread across a hundred systems, primarch Lion El’Jonson stands as Lord Protector of Ultramar – though his true motives are known to few indeed, and old rivalries on the home world threaten to tear the Legion in half. But when word comes of the Night Lords’ attack on Sotha, the Lion’s brutal actions bring Imperium Secundus once again to the brink of civil war. Not even the most fearsome warriors of the Dreadwing, nor any arcane secret of the Order, can guarantee victory if he sets himself against his loyal brothers."

Rob P Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Corswain arrives at Caliban and is greeted by Luthur and co. Cypher is doing so vague stuff which makes it difficult to see on which side he sits. Zahariel is somewhere distant/trapped and is prevented from telling Corswain that some bad stuff is going down on Caliban. Zahariel/The Watcher/Corswain eventually transmit a message to the Lion which says come home quickly blah blah blah Elsewhere ... Russ meets up with the Lion. Russ tells the Lion that Terra stands and they need to get back pronto. The Lion says he needs to kill Curze first so they decide to hunt him together. They themselves then send a message to Sanguinius/Imperium Secundus that Terra stands .... Elsewhere ... Sanguinius has a spat with Guilliman. Guilliman goes off traitor hunting and Sanguinius receives message about Terra and leaves Maccrage without Guilliman. Or both get message and Guilliman weighs up that it's probably warp tricks and decides not to leave until The Lion returns. In meantime Sanguinius heads to Terra. Back with Lion and Russ.... Lion and Russ chase Curze for a bit. Russ's armour gets damaged so he needs to borrow some Lion armour or they decide for Russ to wear Lion armour to confuse Curze with 2 Lions (reason for this is because I hate blonde Lion). Russ takes out Curze gutting or crippling him. Lion turns up and gets angry and knocks out Russ. Lion leaves for Terra but receives message on way about Caliban so heads there. Also logic in Lion thinking he should have a stinking big legion there. Russ regains consciousness and Curze has gone (imagine Sevatar broke out somewhere earlier in the story and rescued him). Russ shouts at the sky 9and shakes first) 'damn you Lion'el' and then shoots off to Terra.
