Sooner or later these two will face off one on one. The question is, who is currently stronger in the fluff ? Without speculating how GW will handle the fight who do *you* think would win ?

considering they are both at ultra-snowflake status, it could go either way.
i would give the edge to abaddon if plot points could be overlooked (at this point has literally thousands of years combat and leading experience over guilliman) but bringing guilliman back (not to mention the whole eldar fiasco) was a blatantly obvious move towards the nobledark and i think it will end up with guilliman on top.

>>53049484
If you take The Master of Mankind at face value then the fact abby has Drach'nyen makes him stronger by default.

If you want to ignore MoM then abby is already practically as strong as Horus due to the mark of choas ascendant.

By all standards abby should win after a very hard fight... but we all know GW will never let him win. They may be dumb but they're not stupid. Abby defeating Gulliboy would result in an end times event and the need to reset the 40k universe and they aren't stupid enough to risk that.

Gulliman will win, perhaps with the help of Celestine simply because GW can't let him lose.

This may all change with the release of more primarchs though.
>>
>>53049484
I bet the fight will end up in a draw for whatever reason
>>
>>53051992
Rowboat could have his shit kicked in, then the missing primarchs return from the warp, saving the imperium, and killing Abby because chaos undivided is dull as all cuckery.

Smurfs get squatted. Yellow man carries codex. And strategically/tactically interesting marines carry the imperium alongside flavoured guard. Instead of boring cadia which got fucked.

Then you have juicy room for the xenos to make a worthwhile appearance.

Pretty simple. Cadia results in necrons. Which results in knife ears. Which results in slaanesh. Then tau. Orcs want to fight the weebs. Then nids come to feast on the orc hordes.

Imperium under siege the entire time.

Khorne happy because war.
Tzeentch "just as planned" across the board
Nurgle would need a little something though. Maybe nids related.

But it's gw. So Mary Sue and her friends will shit it up. Along with powercreeping shitrules. And stupid models.
>>
>>53049745
If it is a xeno, I think being a Tau would be the best one. Both the Eldar and Necrons have had their times in the sun, whilst Orks and Tyranids are against everyone.

At the moment, Tau are just this wacky small Empire that accept a variety of xenos. Right now they're barely worth a footnote, but one of their things is that they're resistant to Chaos and possibly genetically engineered to be so by some older race. Having Chaos' ultimate bane come from the blueberries would give them a reason for existing and be a neat plot twist.

Also the salt from anti-Taufags would be beautiful.

Guilliman has a plastic model

Abaddon does now

guess.

Also a brand new leader of Chaos would do well, it will be a nice contrast to Guilliman.

Gulliman with the help of the Culexus Clade to nullify abaddon's stupid fucking sword, and then maybe Celestine in a climactic reversal once the assassin's break the sword and then promptly die.

Rowboat Girlyman is a Primarch, and as strong as Abaddon is I think it'd be a little bullshit for him to now suddenly win after failing over a dozen previous Black Crusades when the imperium DIDN'T have a primarch in their corner.
>>
>>53055529
>Culexus Clade to nullify abaddon's stupid fucking sword

Not even an army of Sisters of Silence or the Pylons activating were enough to fully nullify its power or banish it back to the Warp.

It literally killed Sisters of Silence by the boatload.
>>
Reminder that Celestine (s3) and her 2 unaugumented assistants were a match for abbadon, in a straight up fight Guilliman SHOULD handle him easily.

I actually want to see Abbadon get absolutely BTFO by guilliman, with the fight ending with his arms getting cut off and Fulgrim showing up and stabbing him from behind because only he gets the honor of killing guilliman. After that, chaos undivided goes to shit and the daemon primarchs are left in charge with their own agendas.
>>
>>53055627
>Reminder that Celestine (s3) and her 2 unaugumented assistants were a match for abbadon,

Abaddon did not call upon the power of Drach'nyen though. So he wasn't fighting at full strength.

And Celestine was going around killing daemon princes and Greater Daemons with her holiness. Girlyman has no holy power to counteract Abaddon's unholy power. Girlyman is at a massive disadvantage especially if Abaddon taps into his sword.

These. It'd be bullshit to have a primarch lose to Abaddon. And more interesting to see the Imperium try to reform and get shit together while the various daemon primarchs start coming up to pursue their own agendas and stir shit up and have chaos undivided in the background trying to reunite. Would give something for Lorgar to do too. He has a big grudge against Roboute more than anybody and probably won't be too happy seeing him back. Fulgrim too, but I feel like Fulgrim gave less shits about Roboute than he did about Ferrus Manus.

Nope, Archaon uses a sword that works the same as Abaddon's sword. Once Archaon drew upon his sword's power, he was fighting literal gods and winning.

Not until he got a massive power boost in AoS where he's practically a god himself and is capable of impossible feats like literally breaking worlds. In fantasy he lost the fight to a wounded sigmar and had the sword blown up with sigmars bare hands. For their respective settings, Abbadon is currently closer to where fantasy Archaon was, not quite AoS levels yet. Yet.
>>
>>53049484
After a long battle with stunning sword play and thrilling combat, the champions of light and dark are separated by an explosion, a stray she'll.
Picking himself up, Abbadon notices Gulliman was separated from his father's blade. Moving quicker than should be possible, he seizes it in The Talon of Horus. Both weapons scream furiously in the warp, their emnity driving the dull spirits of the tools of war mad.
Holding it aloft, nearby traitor marines roar their approval.
Rowboat staggers to his feet.

Abbadon sneers and levels the blade at Gulliman, seeing the defeated but defiant look in his green eyes...

The primarchs eyes. They were not previously green. Thin lines in his face also reveal cracks of green glow.

Abbadon steps back confused as more green lines trace across the Primarchs form. All at once, Gulliman twists and unfolds impossibly to become a metal ring, lined with green circuitry.

Beyond the gate is a realm of pure silence and shadow. The warp does not resonate there. Ezekyle can feel the powers of chaos leeching from his soul towards this black abyss.

He is blinded by stabbing lights and the growling of a beast, no many beasts, No!
Engines. His eyes adjusting he sees a hundred Baneblades beyond the gate their weapons trained on him. In the commanders cupola stands a man with a massive cigar chomped between teeth that form a rictus grin.
>>
>>53055822
I am talking about Archaon in WHFB End Times. The Incarnates were godly beings having an entire wind of magic powering them.

Archaon fought Heavens Incarnate Karl and defeated him.
Archaon fought Fire Incarnate Slayer Dwarf King. and survived the suicide explosion.
Archaon fought Beasts Incarnate Grimgor and beheaded him.

Archaon used two artifacts in order to boost himself to the level of these Incarnates. The Eye of Sheerin and his sword the Slayer of Kings. And fucking Archaon was wounded as well and lost one of his artifacts before fighting Sigmar. It's said that if the Eye of Sheerin wasn't broken, then Sigmar would have lost the battle. Archaon would have simply removed the Wind of Heavens from Sigmar the same way he did with Karl.
>>
does anyone actually like abbadon ?
the only people that didn't mind him before did so because he was the "strongest" character fluffwise for chaos, now that the primarchs are back that's no longer the case.

>It'd be bullshit to have a primarch lose to Abaddon.
He alaready fought against half of the Chaos Primarchsin the legion wars. And won!
Granted he cheated and abused their daemonic weakneses, but he could find a way to cheat against the big G too, especially considering his weak points all but glow in the dark.

Rowboat and armless square off. Manly man meat smacking occurs. Rowboat runs out of rows cuz he's in a pimped out suit of armor that functions as a dreadnaught. Abby gets upper hand.

Celestine shows up and armless hisses cuz "muh holy light".

Knife ear emotits shows up and bounces around a lot in interpretive dance.

If on Terra, or in Sol. Dorn shows up and smarms it up with reinforcements from terra.

Armless, outnumbered by named characters and cannon fodder decides he needs to fuck back off to eye shaking fist and yelling " I'll get you next time joes!"

I love him he's my favorite 40k character.
He represents so many interesting concepts without chaos but is rarely used to show them to it's fullest extent.
>>
>>53060164
Chaos winning and Abaddon winning are 2 different things though.
Chaos wins if the Emperor is killed before humanity evolves into a pure psyker race, as only he is protecting reality from being overtaken by Chaos. If he fails, reality itself is destroyed and replaced by Chaos.
Abaddon believes himself to not be a pawn of Chaos and he desires to overthrow the Emperor, without causing reality to be destroyed. So he can proclaim himself the New Emperor, at the head of the Dark Imperium.

I feel like there's a limit where further experience in combat provides little educational benefit, I mean, what are you really going to pick up in the next 900 years of warfare that you didn't pick up in the first 100? Seen one hellscape battlefield, seen em all.

Another thing is that intelligence plays a role in learning, and even when he wasn't a glove puppet for insane gods, Abaddon wasn't ever a particularly cerebral chap, even by the pretty low standards of Spehs Muhreens. By comparison, Girlyman was always one of the more intelligent and observant Primarchs.

Actually, Abaddon is super intelligent and his Crimson Path and Black Crusades have caught the Imperium by surprise. Furthermore, he isn't a puppet of the Chaos Gods. The Chaos Gods do not control him as they did Horus. He retains his freewill.

I mean look at the Fall of Cadia. Abaddo reacted abd adapted to all the bullshit asspulls thrown against him and emerged victorious. His only mistake was landing on Cadia when he didn't need to. However, Abaddon realised his mistake that his pride got him into.

also-also. Abaddon spent 10K warring against Xenos (Dark City siege), campaign against the Imperium, and fighting the other daemons and heretics (which included the traitor Primarchs).

What does Girlyman has? A few centuries of war? He does not match the exp and accomplishments of Abaddon Long War. Even in the trailers Girlyman admits that Abaddon's long war has all but brought Imperium and the galaxy to ts knees.

Stopped reading right there. Doing the exact same thing you've done 12 times before is not the mark of a martial genius, and a child could catch the Imperium by surprise because of how disfunctional it is. They lose contact with planets due to rounding errors.

As with anything 40k, told =/= shown, we might be told Abbaddy is a super-genius but in terms of what we're shown, he's roughly equivilent with a particularly intelligent Ork with half the creativity.

Like your reading on the fluff. The 12 Black Crusades were about building forces, getting favor of the gods, collecting artefacts, and most importantly destroying the Pylons. Abaddon is directly responsible for Chaos being the great that threat it now. He is the one who cracked the galaxy in half doing damage to the galaxy unseen since the War in Heaven. And HE IS WINNING. Unless something comes up to halt the great Rift from devouring the galaxy whole, then he has already won.

>and a child could catch the Imperium by surprise because of how disfunctional it is. They lose contact with planets due to rounding errors.

Dumbass, the Inquisition, Admech, and Grey Knights with all their resources could not divine and deuce Abaddon's grand plan until it was too late and the galaxy was being cracked. Even the Eldar only realised this when it was also too late though they knew the truth sooner than the Imperium.

>As with anything 40k, told =/= shown,

As with you being a moron, you refuse to be shown so your opinion is worthless. And once again I have to say don't dare compare Girlyman to Abaddon. Girlyman is a novice compared to Abaddon's warmaking.

I mean for fuck sake, Puretide's war teachings (a mere mortal) are more complex and vastly superior to his codex.

As much as I think it's stupid you guys think that a godling can defeat a fallen angel wielding humanity first and greatest sin, lets say Abaddon indeed gets killed somehow. This means that Drach'nyen no longer shackled to Abaddon's will will be free to go after the Emperor.

Abaddon won his wars against the traitor Primarchs. What even is Girlyman to him? Dude is so weak willed that he allowed Kairos Fateweaver to entrap him with his own doubts and fears. Abaddon fucking contends with the Chaos Gods for his body, mind, and very soul. Each day is a struggle as the Chaos Gods threaten, bait, and torment him, desiring to see him submit fully to them but he never does. Abaddon remains Abaddon. True to himself. No fear or doubt will tie down Abaddon.

Only Abaddon deserves the title of the greatest of them all because none of the Primarchs can walk a mile in his shoes. They are all weak!

Also, i'll spare a moment to be sincere.
I was defending Abaddon WAAAAAAAAAAY before the whole I WAS ONLY PRETENDING and MY OC DONUT STEAL EMPRAH KILLING SWORD (ugh) because i understood that it wasn't his power that made him dangerous, but his will and his focus. Like you said, he's constantly temped by and contested for by the gods yet resists them on sheer willpower and clarity of purpose. He's also somebody who is able to command the respect of all the Chaos Legions, an unprecedented feat since Horus (and he was playing godmode by being the best Primarch). What made Abaddon fascinating and what a lot of memes missed is that just in the fact that he still hasn't fallen to Chaos, let alone that he's able to even MOUNT these crusades showed what a unique individual and incredible threat he was. The idea i always got was not that he was deliberately failing these Crusades, but that he needed them for 2 things

He invented Drach'nyen, one of the worst and most disliked pieces of the lore, fucked with a lot of core ideas and messages of the setting, and genuinely did a very bad job with him. There's nothing wrong with Abaddon being powerful, but it was never his power that made him who he is. The whole idea was that the Primarchs, for all their unmatched power, are nothing more then slaves and puppets, while little Abaddon, barely beneath their notice, is the only one with the will and clarity of purpose to retain control of his fate. Once you start to wank him to being teh stronkest ever, you detract a lot from his greatest strengths, and you also make him seem like a gary stu. That's what really soured him for me, and it's a shame too, cause i always admired his character for staying true to himself despite not being the designated mc that are the Primarchs.

Drach'nyen is absolute shit, though. Pure wank to lower The Emperor from a retarded chaos fanboy with daddy issues. It also detracts from Abbadon because Drach is using him for it's own purpose. Just give him some fucking daemon sword, hell, if they made a shard of Horus' soul into a weapon it would be retardedly powerful and poetic.

So, in short, you think ADB is your friend and that he saved Abaddon, when in fact he's a retard and he damaged him.

That's still a thing. Abaddon commands a force that dwarfs anything Horus ever commanded and he is using it to shepard the Eye towards Terra.

>Instead, they went with the ''all part of the plan'' retcon which is cheap and just serves to make people dislike him even more.

The Crimson Path makes sense and is brilliant piece of strategy which beats bumrushing Terra and repeating Horus's mistake. It's the thing that sets Abaddon apart from Horus and the thing that gave us THIS which is cool.

ADB did nothing about Abaddon's power level. His Black Legion is mostly from Khayon's perspective and the last one we only saw Abaddon finish off Horus reborn. The second book in July should feature Abaddon vs Sigismund which should be very interesting.

Anyways, ADB gave us Drach'nyen's power level. As you know, Drach is not Aby. Abaddon never drew upon the full power of Drach'nyen yet. We don't know how will he can do it. Given his TT rules, drawing upon the power of the sword is as dangerous to him as his foes. So we don't know Abaddon's exact power level only that he wields an exceptionally deadly daemon as a weapon.

Drach'nyen wasn't invented by him. He just gave it a backstory that explains why it was so legendary that daemons feared it and it had to be hidden away from all. Explaining why Abaddon started a whole crusade just to get it. I mean you fucks (yes, you!) complained and mocked the guy for starting the First Crusade just for a bloody sword. Now you got your answer. It's the only sword that can with utmost certainty murderrape the Emperor's soul, not to mention Abaddon having a sword that's humanity extinction made manifest. Ever heard the saying "He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing". That's what Abaddon gained. Control over the destiny of mankind.

>while little Abaddon, barely beneath their notice, is the only one with the will and clarity of purpose to retain control of his fate. Once you start to wank him to being teh stronkest ever,

Except that Abaddon is flawed and stumbled from time to time letting his pride and anger get the better of him. Fall of Cadia being a recent example. I see the problem him. It's Primarch worship. You cannot have anyone better than the Primarchs in ANYTHING.

> also detracts from Abbadon because Drach is using him for it's own purpose

Drach is tamed to Abaddon, not the other way around. It is his prisoner. If it was in control, then it would fly to Terra to complete its destiny. If you cannot see the beauty of a fallen dark angel using the original sin of mankind as to damn mankind, then you have incredibly bad taste. Sorreh!

Chaos Gods were originally just parasitic entities borne from and feeding on the subconscious of sentient beings. It was a huge metaphor about man giving his nightmares form from the darkness of his own heart. The gods weren't THAT powerful, they just operated under different rules and attacked man where he was weakest, where he couldn't defend himself.
Then comes The Emperor. THE man. The gods fear Him. They cannot touch Him, His power is supreme. He cannot destroy them directly anymore then He can destroy humanity's emotions. So, He plans to starve them.
The gods, sensing a threat to their very existence, forgo all of their rivalries and work together to undermine him extremely subtly. It works because The Emperor spreads Himself to thin, trusts His sons too much and doesn't see the gods as a direct threat.
During the Heresy, i always had the impression that The Emperor was a bit in denial and extremely relaxed (as one can be in such a situation). ''I'll just kill Horus and that'll be the end of it, my power is supreme''. The Emperor's fall came from Him being a man who viewed Himself as a god: perfect and infallible. He thought he could manage His sons perfectly, that He could multitask everything and that the gods wouldn't be a threat. He felt this way right up until the moment that He stepped on that command bridge (or wherever), and saw His favored son standing above the lifeless body of His other, almost as favored son. And that's when it hit Him, subtly at first
>this is my son
>my pride
And The Emperor tries to reason with him, to get an explanation, anything. Horus attacks Him with all his unholy might, backed by all four gods, and The Emperor, subconsciously, holds back. Greatly. He tries to restrain him with lessened blows, with attacks that do not work on beings on that level. Horus rips Him to pieces, and just as he's about to finish him, a lone guardsman steps in between him and The Emperor and defiantly holds his ground.

Horus obliterates him with the contemptuous ease of a cruel god. The sheer cruelty of the act (akin to seeing an adult cruelly kill a child) finally opens The Emperor's eyes. His son is gone. If He fails now, all of Manking shall suffer as that lone, defiant guardsman. The soldiers courage and sacrifice give the Master of Mankind the clarity and the resolve He needs, and even though He is dying, even though His body is a ruin, He finally summons His full power (to the extent He is able in such a state), and Horus and the gods scream in terror and agony as it is unleashed upon them. The gods narrowly escape, while Horus' soul is obliterated. The Emperor fell because of his humanity, his hubris, his conceit, his love.

Now, however, the gods are omnipotent eternal beings that treat all of this as a game, The Emperor is a cruel, evil and incompetent dick that can't even kill a single daemon and may or may not have gotten his powers from chaos, traitors dindu nuffin and chaos already won and everything is pointless.

Got to stop you there. The terminator story was the original one, by a few months. Also the bit with Pius didn't actually take place in the final duel, nor did it spur the Emperor on to eventually kill Horus. It was just kind of a sacrifice for the sake of it.

I know man, but originally Horus was Emperor's friend, and Dorn wasn't even a Primarch, or something like that. And they fought in Horus' bunker.

Nah, they're still psychic parasites, they're just beyond conventional time. They always were. The metaphor for mankind's evil deeds being their greatest foe is intact, especially since mankind's stupidity and evil is timeless.

>The Emperor is a cruel, evil and incompetent dick

The Emperor was always cruel and evil, for the exact reasons that you stated for his fall - he thought he was perfect and infallible, and as such he was callous in enacting his plans and entirely foolish in giving in to the human stupidities of xenophobia and hubris.

>incompetent

More like poorly focused. He was too blinded by his own perception of himself to see things turning out wrong, much like you yourself have said.

>can't even kill a single daemon

I'm on the fence in regards to Drach'nyen's new fluff, but still, this is just one daemon that specifically is there to kill him, he's never shown any difficulty with others. If you're implying that the Emperor has been nerfed, I'd say you're wrong. Originally whether he was half as godlike as he's portrayed was a mystery.

>may or may not have gotten his powers from chaos

I know a lot of people hate this, but I like it a lot more than the 'shaman soul fusion' shit. It makes the Emperor more like a canny mythological hero. He's supposed to be a representation of all mankind's strengths and flaws; him rising from relative obscurity and tricking the Chaos Gods into giving him vast cosmic powers is a much better way of portraying this, showing off our ambition, our cunning, our inventiveness, our intelligence, etc, but also our arrogance and greed.

Personally, the Crux being a badge of honour for the act of intervening in the final duel is a bit of fluff they added that I find neat as heck. Mainly because I really love little fictional medals and titles.

You don't have to enjoy pain to be cruel.

The Emperor ordered billions genocided and billions more worked to death, and thought nothing of it. He was one cruel motherfucker.

Cheat the Chaos Gods and then reign as the Dark Emperor of the Dark Imperium of Mankind.

>this is just one daemon that specifically is there to kill him, he's never shown any difficulty with others. If you're implying that the Emperor has been nerfed, I'd say you're wrong
The problem is, as i've said, He's supposed to be more powerful then the gods themselves. ADB made a daemon that can kill him so he can later fellate the gods as being far more powerful then him. Fuck that faggot. The tragedy of 40k was, to me at least, that the bad guys were the underdogs and managed to bring down the big good with masterful scheming and capitalizing on his hubris. It made it all the more painful. The way they went about it also doesn't make sense unless they were weaker. They were extremely careful about not catching his notice before it was too late, subtly corrupting his sons and then taking him out of the fight using Magnus. Meanwhile, he had no fear of them or anything, they couldn't kill the Primarchs because of the wards he placed on them, and even with Horus they still got wrecked. The only other excuse is ''muh game'' and fuck whoever uses that.

>him rising from relative obscurity and tricking the Chaos Gods into giving him vast cosmic powers is a much better way of portraying this
It wanks the gods too much and also misses the point of the best vs the worst of mankind. The Emperor is mankind's hopes and dreams, the gods are the fears and nightmares. Both were created by Man. Since this is 40k, The Emperor is also hubris and conceit, while the gods each represent positive qualities in their own right.

>Making some traitors sympathetic is not the same as making them blameless or innocent.
I have no problem with fleshing them out, but trying to excuse all of their flaws while giving shit to Emps for everything he does and blaming everything on him is retarded. Somebody said it best ''ADB wants us to have sympathy for the devil but good can never make a mistake''

What she did was the equivalent of stepping on his toe and running away. She went for a wound that never killed or crippled a marine since they have Black Carapace, when she could have gone for his hearts or head. I mean she has no excuse. Abaddon was half blind from Greyfax and was distracted with torturing Creed. He was wide open. All she needed to do was behead him.

Celestine is a total retard.

>He's supposed to be more powerful then the gods themselves.

No fluff has ever stated this.

He hit Horus with such a big mind bullet that the gods recoiled from him. This does not mean he's more powerful than the Chaos Gods.

It doesn't even make sense for him to be more powerful than them. They're made up of the psychic power of every single living an dead species' darker aspects. He's a few hundred psykers mashed together.
>>
>>53066407

It is obviously a retcon but it isn't a terrible one - the past black crusades were pretty obviously throw away fluff made up just so there could be a 13th.

GW probably only realized later they had turned Abaddon into Rita Repulsa.

I wish. I love the Baalite bastards, but they seem to be ignored when cool shit happens. Its been the Wolves, Dark Angels, and now Smurfs since things started getting hot again.

That being said, Baal is on the wrong side of the 'fuck fuck fuck' warp storm rift on the new map. Maybe they'll take a central role in the battles there

>It doesn't even make sense for him to be more powerful than them
It actually does, when you think about it. Gods are byproducts of life's subconscious, and the warp is a plane that manifests it. The Emperor is a combination of some of the most powerful and skilled psykers that ever lived. In the warp, it's all about how well you manipulate it, how in tune you are with it. The Emperor is the manifestation of it's possible creators and greatest influencers. The gods are cancers spreading through it. Sentient life, humanity, and The Emperor are the TRUE masters of the warp, but the former two could not exibit the level of conscious control over it necessary to resist and combat them. The Emperor, with all his raw power and the pedigree of those elite psykers could.

And Slaanesh alone is made up of EVERY SINGLE ELDAR FROM BEFORE THE FALL. You know, the most powerful and adept psychic race around, who were even more powerful prior to Slaanesh's birth than now because they didn't have to constantly restrain themselves?
>>
>>53068852
But Slaanesh is a part of the warp. What i'm getting at is that if sentient beings could master their subconsciousness, the warp would be theirs to do as they see fit. The Emperor is the only being to do so. The gods are products of and exist only in the immaterium, which is directly dictated by the materium. Basically it boils down to The Emperor being in a position the gods can never achieve, a being of the materium that has mastered itself and thus the immaterium. That's why they want to spill warp over. Because they can only influence the immaterium, and thus they needed it to seep into reality.

2 editions ago? Basically for 6 editions chaos was simply failing and abaddon had been defeated. For 2 editions, for some reason, now chaos has been winning secretly since day one and Abaddon is now creed times the emperor apparently. Honestly it's like George Lucas is running this shit.

Guilliman was beating Angron pretty handily, but one of his punches shattered a skull Angron Kept on his armor. The skull belonged to one of the fallen gladiators from his home world so Robby breaking it caused him to REEEEEEEon apocalyptic levels. Until that point, Robute pretty much kicked 2 primarchs asses back to back
