Dude, Dorn has frigging fury man. If he sees Russ charging first he will try to out talk him. But he could hold off a chaos juiced fulgrim. Who has the most primarch kills on his side. Don't piss Dorn. Just don't.
And also I am an Space Wolves fan but, dude, Russ is terribly written. The nordic culture is on point but what does he do? be predictable all the time and lured into killing his brother? And him talking all proud about Magnus when in the book precisely he then starts to mourn his own decisions and acts? I like the SW but their Primarch is straight DUMB. And Primarchs are supposed to be like overpowered intellectual beings.
Nah, Leman got lucky against Magnus. Based on the description of their fight in A Thousand Sons, he was on the verge of defeat. Magnus then got cocky and Leman managed to score a lucky hit on Magnus' eye that helped him turn things around. Of course, Magnus is to blame for getting cocky, but that hit actually happening still came down to luck.
"A flare of black light erupted and Russ cried out in agony. His blade lashed out blindly and struck a fateful blow against his foe's most dreaded weapon: his eye"
Sometimes i get that random thought where what if perterabo and dorn stood against everything during the battle for terra. How cool that would have been
Lol, Leman proves how much hubris he has in this quote. He literally lost a 1v1 to Angron and Angron only relented because Russ's honour guard surrounded him. Russ is a strong warrior and commander, but not actually as good a duelist as he may think.
Whenever i see this, I'm reminded of why the Khan said he could easily beat Fulgrim and i think the same applies to Russ. Spend all your time bragging about your exploits and youre just giving intel, to someone who may fight you.
I don’t blame Russ for his misapprehension that he’d surely beat The Khan. Jaghatai wasn’t one for idle boasts, nor vulgar displays of power, of the sort that make your true strength and proclivities easy to gauge. But the very ethos of the White Scars, what makes them so good at killing fellow Astartes, is what makes The Khan a good counter to Russ—berserkers can’t fight forever, and kiting a target who wants nothing more than to get up close and personal to the point of exhaustion is exactly what Jaghatai and his sons do best.
Matter of fact, I think that’s the best way to compare Primarchs’ battle efficacy against one another. How do their sons perform against one another? It should give a good picture of what would happen between their respective Primarchs.
To be fair to magnus, he did not want to kill russ because he knew the emperor would need him in the defense of terra and thus could not flex his full power
No mention of Mortarion. Interesting, I mean I'm sure in melee russ would win, but I'd love to see it. Unstoppable fore vs immovable object in a different way than against the Kahn
Weird he makes a point to say "I could beat him too" about guilliman like there was ever any doubt lol guilliman is just barely above lorgar and if lorgar uses psyker powers guilliman is bottom of the barrel
Magnus the nerd throwing hands with Russ, while the wolf has brought sisters of silence, still almost killing Russ—> Russ: Yeah tehe I totally could beat Magnus 1v1
Russ says he could beat all except Sanguinunululu and Konrad. When he had his stand-off with angron, he literally had to retreat behind his sons. This goes to show he's a better soldier and commander, but when we're talking 1v1, it does not do him any favors.
Lion smacked the shit out of him, Russ is coping.
Conrad and Jagathai keep to themselves, so I don't blame Russ for not knowing he'd lose. Same goes for Vulkan.
Even for Fulgrim, who I do not like at all, Russ is not getting off easy.
Russ talks a lot of shit, boasting is moreso his specialty as a primarch than actually winning.
The times that are mentioned when someone tries to prove his strenght, are always when he's decked out in S+++ gear or taking an entire team to jump one guy.
Russ is about as much what he claims he is, as the Space Wolves are actually like vikings; not at all.
Hmmm. Notice The lion and Mortarion are not on that list….Russ is tough…but that kinda attitude just begs for someone to make that angry puppy sit and be quiet….😮…
No mention of the Lion huh?
He is, obviously, boasting here. But that's the culture of fenris coming through. It's like a wwe wrestler delivering their promo lol.

Ah yes famous bitchboy whine
He lost to angron. For any of you illiterates I recommend talon of hours to see how much bolters unarmoured primark can endure.
He lost to lion
He barely won against horus
And barely won against magnus

"So Russ, between you and Lion, who's stronger?"
"Hmm… if Lion took the fight seriously then I'd struggle"
"But would you lose?"
"Nah, I'd win"
Aint no way he can beat my boy Vulkan. You can't defeat him with raw martial might
To be fair to magnus, he did not want to kill russ because he knew the emperor would need him in the defense of terra and thus could not flex his full power
Well, Russ can certainly beat Guilliman in melee combat. Assuming he can even get close to Mr.Big Brain Logistic
Well, this is a lousy way to find out Loken survives book 3.
I bet Terra that he could not defeat the Khan
SO how about Vulkan? Hes Immortal, Leman Russ. You are not!
Can't help but notice he doesn't mention the lion…
I'm gonna be real with you I'm not convinced Russ could beat vulkin especially if he's not sure he could beat kurze who vulkin beat the breaks off of
No mention of Mortarion. Interesting, I mean I'm sure in melee russ would win, but I'd love to see it. Unstoppable fore vs immovable object in a different way than against the Kahn
Did you know that some of these are lady's 😂now
Weird he makes a point to say "I could beat him too" about guilliman like there was ever any doubt lol guilliman is just barely above lorgar and if lorgar uses psyker powers guilliman is bottom of the barrel
Russ: I could beat most if them
Lion: 😶😶🤣🤣
And Magnus would no dif him if not for sisters of silence who shuted down his magic.
"I could kill girly man easily" yeah, sure dude, you could totally have killed the man who leads the literal poster children of the franchise.
does he mean in a 1v1, or legion vs legion?
"and we all know what happened to Magnus" yeah, when you were backed ip by sisters of silence…
Never waste a chance to insult Lorgar
Russ putting some respect on my man curze the power of the insane
Magnus if he didnt handicap himself like
The fact he put the pretty boy angel and the mad night haunter top of his list is very telling
Magnus the nerd throwing hands with Russ, while the wolf has brought sisters of silence, still almost killing Russ—> Russ: Yeah tehe I totally could beat Magnus 1v1
