Lion El'Jonson: The Most Noble Primarch | Warhammer 40k Lore

How does Lion El'Jonson compare to other Primarchs in terms of dueling skills and combat prowess, and what aspects of his training, experience, and innate abilities contribute to his reputation as one of the most formidable duelists among the Primarchs?

[Dave-nziu]

THE LION NEVER BEAT ANYONE?!?!?! He stomped Kurze multiple times in multiple books. Sanguineous, in the book 'the unremembered empire', when hunting for kurze, found him in Sang's own throne room. Sang let Kurze go because by reading the future he found it just as likely for Kurze to him him as the other way around. Kurze disemboweled Dorn in a fit of mistaken rage. Rus has said he doesn't know that he could defeat Kurze or Sang in a 1v1. Multiple Primarchs RAN from kurze, including Corax. And the Lion beat him 3 times. There are multiple passages in the book where guilliman says the lion is the only brother he looked up to/ felt intimidated by. He also said Horus was jealous of the Lion and when he was granted the title of warmaster, it was over the lion that he felt the most pride. The lion beat rus in a brawl. He met with peterobo (after the iron warriors were traders but before the lion knew) with just a small contingent, but peterobo didn't dare try to take him on.

This video is FILLED with inaccuracies. Because the vast majority of people just repeat inaccurate info the got from a glance at the wiki, there's more bad information then good with videos like these. Don't trust claims anyone tells you without citing chapter and book(s) for where they're pulling their info from.

I would say that Lion became noble after his return 10, 000 years later

I just finished; The Lion: Son of the Forest, it was such a great story.

If the Emperor wanted an enemy killed, he sent Leman. When he wanted them gone, it was the Lion and the

The Lion has had one of the most amazing character developments in 40k

Ive heard you talk much more positively of traitor Primarchs. Good story but I definitely think this falls under twisted lore. I disagree with this point of view of the Lion.

The lion bodied curze hard
“You’ve lost the only weapon that would’ve killed me”
Whips bolter out and unloads in curze face point blank
“Surprise!”

[badmtrfngr]

Who knew the Emperor of all Mankind was such a Triple H fan that he made one of his sons in his image?

[Jaeger_Bishop]

Odd way to say "Rogal Dorn", when it comes to most popular Primarchs, but ok.

[Jammygt]

The narrator sounds like an Ultramarine fanboy. Why is it structured like he is anti lion lol

[arberrexha]

Well, in case you didn’t read the book, The Lion wakes up, forgives his sons, fights one of his traitor Primark’s, and now there’s a demonized flying planet Death Star floating through the Warp.

[shadowgod]

noble? lion is not noble he is a beast and in fact act like one.

[kymaticus]

Great content, keep up the emperors work. Thank you for naming the books. After watching your content, I dig deep into the books.

[JKavanagh-tqrp]

Awesome Primarchs true list:
1-17 Konrad Kurze (mostly non canon versions)
18-20 Rogal Dorn (TTS version)

[levistapleton]

I do not like this. You have some very odd opinions that I think are loosely based on the lore.

[seanbrazell]

I think the Lion is behaving so uncharacteristically empathically and forgivingly because that cast away shard of the Emperors soul - the part that holds his hope, his empathy, and his altruism - is LITTERALY a part of the Lions soul itself. It explains all the contradictions between old Lion and newvLion.

[melikithdracospawn]

Wasn't vulkan the most noble though?
