Subject: Primarch v. Primarch for album cover?

Gavin Thorpe

I'm visualizing an album/book cover featuring two Primarchs fighting each other, something which has not been done yet* for the current HH series.
But which fight should it be? Vote for the concept you find the coolest!
*Fulgrim is depicted fighting Ferrus Manus for the novel Fulgrim. However, oddly enough it is not on the front cover. In fact, it is situated in a tiny corner of the image. Based on its position I think it was obscured by the blurb. (Someone pls find out thanks) The Primarchs are also unusually large, even for Primarchs. An error of perspective?
I've omitted Horus v. Sanguinius. I know it'll skyrocket to the top if I include it, and I want to draw attention to the lesser known fights. Angron v. Guilliman has also been omitted. Though it is a bigger fight, I feel that Lorgar is the bigger rival of Guilliman. Sorry guys.

What about Curze choking the life out of the Lion, with Corswain running his sword through Curze's back? That'd make a cool cover. You could also have Sevatar decapitating Alajos in the background, depending on the perspective.

And the Angels of Darkness descended on pinions of fire and light... the great and terrible dark angels.
He was not the golden lord. The Emperor will carry us to the stars, but never beyond them. My dreams will be lies, if a golden lord does not rise.
I look to the stars now, with the old scrolls burning runes across my memory. And I see my own hands as I write these words. Erebus and Kor Phaeron speak the truth.
My hands. They, too, are golden.

I was cycling between Curze v. Lion and Curze v. Vulkan, and I thought Vulkan was a greater opposite to Curze. The most caring Primarch versus the most uncaring Primarch. The Lion also has a greater rival, his "father" Luther. But Luther ain't a Primarch so I didn't feature it.
I also don't want to include Corswain, Sevatar or Alajos. Too many details. I'd rather focus on the Primarchs IMHO. Automatically Appended Next Post: On a side note, Perturabo has not personally fought Dorn, though it will definitely be written when BL finally decides to write the Battle of Terra.
Which will come out when HL3 comes out.

The battle between Fulgrim and the Gorgon is the best battle for a book cover, the reason being the following:
It was the first time primarchs were ever seen fighting each other
The setting of the istvaan massacre was critical to the heresy
It was in front of their legions
and the way Fulgrim beheaded Ferrus was just so NAAAAAAAAAASTY!!!!

I'd like to see something like Guilliman catching Lorgar's Crozius in the Fists of Ultramar while his feet grind into the permacrete beneath him. In the background show Angron charging up with his swords and make it so that his entire suit of armor is the color of blood and blood is dripping off of it. Also, add a bunch of scars to Guilliman's armor and make one of Aurelian's pauldrons crushed (as if by a Power Fist)

 "Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

It might work but it wouldn't be an accurate depiction since Curze got stabbed while he was still choking the Lion. So he didn't really have time to get up and stand over him triumphantly.
