bluntblade Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I wouldn't have thought of him as such, but I'll defer to Abaddon's judgement. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358431-kh%C3%A2rn-duels/page/5/#findComment-5393866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1soul Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I don't think Abaddon judged Loken to be among the finest legion warriors...he just included Loken in the list of SM who were faster than himself. Aximand would probable be in that list as well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358431-kh%C3%A2rn-duels/page/5/#findComment-5393909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Going by the Authority = Arsekicking trope which 40K wholly adheres to, I think they're top-tier within the Legions, or one down from the Abaddons and Sigismunds.

MegaVolt87 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I think people are forgetting the fact Abaddon in HH is in cataphractti plate, the slowest armour out. If he is only slightly behind someone in Mk IV, he must be stupid swole with a high stamina. Who else moves like that in cata plate, besides a primarch in comparison. That always impressed me about Abaddon. How did he do it? shut off the power and train in unpowered cata plate or something maybe.

bluntblade Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 He does wear his own custom suit - necessarily as he's massive even for a Space Marine - though I don't know if that makes a difference to his mobility.

Medjugorje Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Yea I don't really remember Khan getting set up as one of the great legion fighters, only to get lose in duels a lot. Loken beat him, but that was on the battlefield; the ultramarine on armatura was technically more skilled I think, but lost in the end. In fact, he's rarely included in the list of crazy good fighters like abaddon, raldoran, sevatar and jubal. In fact I can't really think of one example when he is. Didn't Sigismund beat Khârn once in the pits? (Though Khârn rarely gives his all in those fights) Heresy Khârn is a much weaker beast compared to his Post-Heresy self, defeating Celestine and fully capable of wiping out entire Companies of Loyalist Astartes within seconds Maybe there should be a bunch of short stories in which Khârn, Typhus, Lucius, Bile (he did defeat Logan Grimnar), Ahriman, Honsou, Talos fight Chapter Masters before the 41st Millenium? Khârn vs the CM of the Black Templars (Khârn comments how weak the Templars are compared to the Heresy version, relying too much on numbers) Lucius vs the CMs of the Blood Angel AND Flesh Tearer (Lucius utilizes the Black Rage against them) Typhus vs a CM of the Black Consuls (Speed isn't that great when Typhus can teleport and kill you with one little scratch mark) Ahriman vs a CM of the Imperial Fists Talos vs a CM of the Dark Angels wishlist ?
