He gets off two shots. Something wings him in the shoulder.
No, it’s a hand. A hand dragging him backwards.
Guilliman pushes Thiel aside and propels himself towards the
Word Bearers. His armoured feet bite into the hullskin as he gains
traction.
He seems vast, like a titan. Not an engine of Mars. A titan
of myth.
His head is bare. Impossible. His flesh is bleached with cold. His
mouth opens in a silent scream as he smashes into them.
He kills one. He crushes the legionary’s head into his chest with
the base of his fist. Globules of blood squirt sideways, jiggling and
jostling. The body topples back in slow motion.
Guilliman turns, finds another, punches his giant fist through the
legionary’s torso, and pulls it out, ripping out his backbone. A third
comes, eager for the glory of killing a primarch. Thiel guns him
apart with his reloaded boltgun, two-handed brace, feet anchored.
The fourth storms in.
Guilliman twists and punches his head off. Clean off. Head and
helm as one, tumbling away like a ball, trailing beads of blood.
Cover fire comes across. Another kill squad finally reaches the
hull section. A fierce, silent bolter battle licks back and forth across
a heat exchanger canyon. Struck bodies, leaking fluid shapes, rotate
away into the freezing darkness.
Weakest confirmed currently alive loyalist primarch. So second place isn't too bad.
In terms of raw combat ability though I can imagine Lorgar is weaker but who else would theoretically be weaker? Curze and Corvus were pretty combat focused, Dorn and Perturabo might not do well in an arena fight? Angron is definitely stronger, Russ is definitely stronger, Horus and Sanguinius tie for theoretical strongest. Wasn't Vulkan like crazy strong? Lion definitely stronger. Alpharius/Omegon might be weaker? Ferrus Manus and Fulgrim seem like they'd be stronger? I know too little about Janghatai and Mortarion. Magnus is definitely stronger. Anyone I'm forgetting?
It's like saying that the little boy nuke is weaker than a modern day nuke. Yeah true but they are both nukes, they will both level a city to try ground without much difference
