da001 has said a sister could beat a primarch and was more powerful then them...
You...really have no grasp of sarcasm do you?
did he or did he not say a sister is more powerful then a primarch? da001
Quoting could help.
"Now there I go with my opinion on humans vs Primarchs: I think it is obvious that the Emperor, Malcador and the High Lords of Terra think that a human assassin can take down a Primarch. Proof? They sent assassins to do that mission, and they are not fools. Remember "Nemesis"? A Vindicare, alone, is quite able to kill a Primarch, in the eyes of the people who created the Primarchs.
Now, please, explain to me that the Emperor was a fool who ignored that the Primarchs couldn´t be killed by a mortal. "
Magnus would still beat a sister 1 on 1 in combat because, well he's a primarch and vastly stronger then her
No way! Seriously?? LOL A mere primarch defeating a Sister of Battle in close combat!?! Preposterous! I will admit that some Primachs like Russ or Horus could have a chance against an unarmed 12 year old novice but, a full Battle Sister??!! One to one? In close combat? Perhaps three Primarchs fighting together... but just one Primarch??
No way a sissy like Magnus could take on a Sister of Battle 1 on 1. At least not in close combat.
No. Way.
You think THAT'S bad? Can you imagine what would happen if Magnus fought a grot? Poor guy would just get curb stomped.
lol are you guys serious? Magnus would destroy a sister
Oh come on. Of course I am super serious. Sisters are trained since birth, have Power Armour and Bolters, and they specialize in killing psykers.
And what is Magnus? A [/b]psyker[b]. No. Chance. He will never make it into close combat. And even if he manages to get there... then what? Try to get through her Power Armour? Hilarious.
Against a grot it would be a similar situation. While Magnus has psy-powers and stuff like that, the sneaky abilities of the grot will allow it to get into close combat... and then it is game over for Magnus totally. And even if he manages to detect the grot, its sheer will-power will protect him against everything a primarch can use.
Guilliaman tanked a shot from a starship and surived floating in space without a helmet
And Sister Macarena killed every single member of the Maximus Pious Chapter of the Space Marines (1000 Astartes in full gear) armed only with a wooden spear, and then used a Warhound Titan to seriously wound a grot. Sure the grot eventually dismembered her, but she wounded it.
She didn't even pilot the Warhound. She just picked up and dropped it on the grot. Like a titan sized nuke.

‘Your warriors will stand down and withdraw, Curze. That is an order, not a request. (…) When this campaign is won, you and I will have words’
Rogal Dorn, just before taking the beating of his life.
from The Dark King, by Graham McNeill.
It is pretty obvious that Space Marines are stronger than Sisters, but there is a huge psychological dimension to combat, and Sisters would be sustained by their faith in the Emporer.
It could go either way, depending on luck and circumstances.
