was thinking considering Russ headstrong nature How come he never came to blows with Angron? Suerly these 2 must have wanted to see who the baddest was at some point?

SPOILER ALERT BELOW,

beef the SW novel you speak of is that the new SW book or the HH one comeing out in a few years

Because not even Russ was stupid enough to pick a fight with Angron?

Sorry, is the question how come Russ never blowed Angron?

I always assumed they were both tops.

You win. That's it - game over. Everybody can go home now.

Thr novel is the new SW one not the HH one. Russ was Stupid enough to fight the emp a few times and Horus and Johnson and Magnus so why the hell would he not fight Angron. Russ did not care who he fought, He nearly fought at least a 1/5th of the Primarchs, a record never achieved by the rest

Because the Emperor, Horus, El'Jonson, and Magnus don't try to bite your ears off if you get in a scuffle with them. As the only primarch crazier than Russ, Angron could be expected to do something like that.

And how many of those fights you listed were to the death? The only fight Angron ever had that wasn't to the death was the last stand of his gladiator army right before the Emperor snatched him up from his homeworld - and Angron never forgave the Emperor for not letting him die there in battle.

Damn straight

I doubt Russ was scared of anyone. He never backed down from a challenge and what bigger challeng than Angron

Because the Emperor, Horus, El'Jonson, and Magnus don't try to bite your ears off if you get in a scuffle with them. As the only primarch crazier than Russ, Angron could be expected to do something like that.

So basically, what you are saying is that Angron is Mike Tyson of the 31st millenium. Ohdeargodno!

I dunno how official it is, but the Wiki on Angron says that he wasn't terribly fond of Sanguinius or Leman Russ, as they were the only Primarchs he hadn't bested in their sparring matches, which rankled him.

Now that actually comes as a surprise. Angron, the primarch of a Legion that has fathered Kharn the Betrayer among other raving psychopaths, couldn't splatter a half-witted caveman and a wimpy angel that managed to make his "children" crazy by getting killed (SoB killing crazy. How stupid are they? Going mad is so not the way to... Need i even finish that sentence?) He's a mark of shame on the World Eaters!

Well there's always someone better than you, even primarchs.

Maybe everyone else was put off by the Berserker attack, but Eric the Red, er Russ the Fenrisian should have been more than used to a Berzerker assault.
