Teleport to coordinate (x, y). Note: Even though with Hit & Run Konrad could close the gap and do almost the same exact damage as Ferrus over the course of the fight, mathematically winning thanks to his superior initiative, this tactics is not reliable against the Gorgon thanks to the Concussive & Strikedown of Forgebreaker. Konrad wins thanks to his superior number of attacks. Also all of the Primarch use their most powerful weapons (because why have a contest if you don't do your best?). plagued from the moment of his awakening by visions of the most horrific future imaginable, terrifying waking dreams that would follow him from cradle to grave. He saw the fate of each of his brothers and his own death; he saw blood spurting from his own neck and no matter what he did he couldn't stop it. https://witcher.gamepedia.com/The_Witcher_3_console_mode?oldid=426576, Adds specified amount of experience points. Vulkan then proceeded to beat the shit out of Curze, but didn't kill him (because that would be stooping to his level, apparently). Despite having the resources of almost 3 full legions, the rulers of Imperium Secundus had great difficulty tracking Curze down. According to his novel Curze was tremendously crazy by the time of his death. His sons were no longer cast in his image. Both Primarchs had visions of what could happen during the fight and were evenly matched due to their precognition (ie, this fight had more slow motion action visions than a Zhang Yimou film). Curze wound up on the eternally-dark world of Nostramo after the Primarchs were scattered by Chaos. The insanity doesn't end there. he is probably the most badass primarch in terms of getting shit done especially compared to these buffoons. The prisoner, now confident that the Night Lords wouldn't shoot him and when Curze turned his back to him, immediately raised the gun, but Curze killed him before the prisoner could fire at him. Who is Jacob Anthony Chansley? Still, you have to consider that all of his special rules are primary designed to scare his opponents and make them flee, but since all Primarchs are Fearless he can't use them. : addskillpoints(5), Sets Geralt's hairstyle (valid values: 1, 2, 3), Changes Geralt's hairstyle to long loose hair, Changes Geralt's hairstyle to short with long bangs, Changes Geralt's hairstyle to mohawk with a pony tail, Changes Geralt's hairstyle to short with no bangs. Soon after Curze took over and began ruling the planet, the Emperor's Great Crusade reached Nostramo; the coming of the Emperor of Man was an event long prophesied in Nostramo's history - an event which would eventually bring about the apocalypse. In hindsight, though, we here on /tg/ can't really be all that surprised by their brutality when we remember it was Fulgrim who tutored the VIII Legion's primarch. Insubordination to Curze's orders became more frequent and he began having to deal with his own measure of "fixing" things with the criminal scum that were inducted into his forces. Curze destroyed the planet with sustained orbital fire to the fissures his own arrival created. In a conversation with First Captain Sevatar, Konrad mentioned that he had spoken with Angron and Lorgar following the Istvaan III purge. This was, of course, until word of an injustice reached Curze's ears - at which point he would hunt down the transgressor himself, wearing them down, and killing them horribly. Provided that Konrad always succeed in his escape, that is. Seizing the moment, Curze appeared before the few remaining nobles that had survived his vigilantist purges - the only ones who basically weren't complete assholes - and gave them a choice: Obey his rule, or die. However, this would not be, as Sanguinius realised that to make the change in his fate, he would need to become something worse than even Horus, so he allowed fate to continue on course. How else would the Night Haunter interpret the Phoenician's excessive battlefield perfectionism than a need for excessive violence? The German Reich was instituted as the successor to the German Empire that was dismantled in the November Revolution of 1918/19 after WW1. Not to talk them out of it. (In all fairness, Dorn didn't know Fulgrim had broken his word by revealing him this. From the moment he landed Curze got fucked over as, unlike the usual stasis-pod-descending-from-a-beam-of-light type landing his brothers made, Konrad punched through the crust of the planet (the entire planet was made of adamantium, though...) and had to crawl his ass out from the core, all while being a TODDLER. On January 9, Angeli was arrested and... brought up on U.S. federal charges of "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds". This frightened the absolute crap out of Curze, not least because of the potential fact that if Sanguinius could change his destiny to die by Horus' hands, then that would mean that Curze could avoid his own assassination later on, which in turn would make all of his life meaningless because he was such an evil bastard based on his absolute certainty of how events would unfold. Autumn. Unsurprising, considering how terrifying Space Marines are without it. This was only because he let her kill him, as what he had done, and what he became. : additem('Bear Armor 1',3) Specifying item quantities is optional, Adds specified amount of Crowns. At the end of the road leading to his Palace, Curze stood, waiting for the delegation, when he had one of his visions. TL;DR version: Even though he does a lot of damage, Konrad is not really suited for Primarch vs Primarch fights. By the way the statue was made of human flesh. The Final Battle between Curze and the Night Haunter? Not to talk them out of it. Because your mission and the act you are about to commit proves the truth of all I have ever said or done. The Primarchs sub-series (another 15 novels, 7 short stories, and 4 audio dramas) focuses specifically on the leaders of the Space Marine Legions. Note: Curze can Hit & Run, but by doing so he would only gain one more attack, while allowing Angron to reset his Hatred, thus actually making himself die even faster. To wit, if you're sat behind locked doors shitting yourself in terror for the majority of your existence, you're probably going to struggle to lead a life of crime. Those who failed to comply were guaranteed either a swift death at the hands of his legion, or a slow death at the tender mercies of his legion's most depraved souls. Adds designated item(s) to inventory. Curze tried to salvage things while on his homeworld, but the Emperor's arrival had removed the one last barrier the people of Nostramo had between themselves and utter despair: ignorance. The VIII Legion was now composed of warriors who were murderers in the Primarch's own image, yet devoid of his conviction (which does not make any sense at all because, see above: Every Space Marine is massively brain-washed during their ascension, and in the 41st millenium chapters even preferentially recruit from either backwater worlds - where killing someone because he has more shiny bling than you is still acceptable - or hive gangers over aristocrats on more developed worlds, simply because they are more likely to survive the transformation process.. Just think of the "blood games" many chapters perform to determine the most fitting candidates "hey, lets see who can work together and kill as many of the other aspirants as possible" Extensive hypno-indoctrination only really became a thing AFTER the Heresy, specifically as a reaction to it to help ensure the loyalty of future marines. Win current Gwent game with specified number of power points. Curze abandoned his devotion to the Emperor, instead fighting only to spread death and fear. Shows the (internal) name, tags and abilities of items when you mouse over them in Inventory. As the Primarch of the VIII Legion, Konrad had a servant throughout the Great Crusade named Ekra Trez (who bore the title of "Sin-Eater"). (Because it's also a Hammer.). "You think it's over just because I am dead, but the games have just begun.". After the Dark Angels massacred an entire nation in response, Curze laid his final endgame in a mountain fortress. Despite Curze outmatching Sanguinius - as he was fully armed and armoured, and Sanguinius was not - he was also fully aware that he could not kill Sanguinius (even if he wanted to) due to the fact his destiny was to be eventually killed at Horus’s hands. He managed to do what the Word Bearers, World Eaters, and Night Lords legion had not managed to do with soldiers and fleets, and broke the Imperium Secundus. Do not misunderstand: he is a real beast when he can make use of Hit & Run and the Widowmakers are extremely good, especially against Primarchs with strong invulnerable saves. "He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. Fulgrim hits 3.5 times, wounds 2.333 times, 1.167 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.833 wounds at the start of the next turn. But in a cruel twist, Sanguinius decided to leave his brother to his destiny, while also pointing out that while he could pin down the actual time and location of his death to the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit at the Siege of Terra; Curze's assassination might not actually occur for millennia, and thus he promptly jettisoned his brother's stasis coffin into space. This was made worse by the Imperial governor appointed to rule Nostramo in Curze's absence, whose corruption-heavy regime more-or-less plunged the entire planet into the same shit that had given birth to the Night Haunter in the first place. Their logic was that Curze wasn't in charge, the Night Haunter was, and the Night Haunter was supposed to choose the true successor. Needless to say, Curze was absolutely pissed at his planet and his work going back to square one. Konrad Round 1: hits 2 times, wounds 1.5 times, 0.75 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.427. Konrad loses (not a big surprise) and as always Horus uses his Talons 'cause, even though he would do more damage with Worldbreaker, the Talon allows him to make his opponent basically harmless after a couple of wounds. This was first evidenced by what he would come to call his "affliction" or "curse". Trez was tasked with keeping a record of the Night Haunter's pre-cognitive visions in a massive tome, and would often make note of which ones had been proven correct or false. Vulkan had to do all kinds of shit, including being forced to kill his own Salamanders, watch prisoners starve themselves, and fight Corax in a dream. Mortarion hits 2.5 times, wounds 1.667 times, 0.833 wounds after saves and 0.5 wounds after IWND. The best part is the actual description of the weapons in the Horus Heresy rulebook: "The Widowmakers: Based on the micro-serrated throwing knives utilized for signature-kills by Nostraman assassin-cults, Curze favored the use of these vicious, yet highly precise weapons over more conventional firearms in battle, using them to disable and maim as he wished.". Just as Lorgar's teachings on the Emperor's divinity would later lay the foundation for the Imperial Creed of the Ecclesiarchy, the Night Haunter could effectively be treated as the first author of the Inquisition's playbook. Best of all, his ranged weapon proves definitely that Konrad Curze is Batman. It worked. Blood Reaver also implies it (a Night Lords sorcerer talking about how at one moment he was trying to teach his long-dead father some idealistic lesson, while at another he was only concerned about eating some slave's heart) and shows signs of other mental instability, such as when he has a bit of a manic episode and forgets that his First Captain died several years ago, indicating dementia or schizophrenia; Blood Reaver also suggests that the Emprah's DNA may not have entirely settled in Curze's body, explaining why he was so batshit crazy by the time of his death, not to mention the corpse-like appearance he was sporting near the end. I merely punished those who had wronged, just as your false Emperor now seeks to punish me. Konrad Curze decided to prove his point to Dorn; that without the fear of consequences people wouldn't stay loyal. So it's a bit bizarre that the loyalists thought it was a good thing that the Night Lords showed up to support them at Isstvan and didn't see a double-cross coming. However, if you read it as Curze and the Night Haunter as separate people, it makes perfect sense. The description of him briefly becoming the "beast" instead of the regal primarch, before forcing himself back under control makes it seem so. Curze had foreseen everything, or had chosen a fate believing the future was set, just as Sanguinius had. Lorgar hits 2.5 times, wounds 2.0833 times,1.042 after saves and IWND will take that to 0.708 wounds at the start of the next turn. Horus hits 3 times (Talon), wounds 2.667 times, 1.333 after saves and IWND will take that down to 1 wounds at the start of the next turn.

Section Eight is a military discharge for basically being crazy. Curze managed to kill (as in completely, not just banishing) the demon, and was dumped back onto Macragge. Later it was revealed that during his training under Fulgrim, Curze had had one of his visions, this one about the Horus Heresy. While he told Fulgrim this in confidence, he would later learn that one flaw Fulgrim had (beside dressing like a peacock) was that Fulgrim didn't know the meaning of the word confidential or that the notion of what was told to him was done so in sacred trust between himself and his favored brother. Though Curze and his legion excelled in many different hot-zones throughout the Great Crusade, a disturbing tendency arose in short order; the Night Lords would never use anything other than total, decisive force to achieve their goals. Somebody steals from me: I cut off his hands. Primarch fighting, while fun to see, isn't a very competitive thing to do as it'll usually tie up both Primarchs for the entire game without either of them dying. Angron Round 2 and thereafter: hits 4 times, wounds 3.333 times, 1.667 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 1.333 wounds at the start of the next turn. He would remain in custody throughout the journey back to Terra, initially kept under lock and key by the Dark Angels, but was later "broken free" by Sanguinius, who dragged him down to Davin so that they could possibly change their destinies together. Even after somehow surviving making an asteroid level impact, Curze's life somehow got worse as, again, unlike his brothers, he wound up with no one to take care of him. As you can probably predict, every other Night Lord captain decided that they were more deserving of being Curze's successor and tried to get Sahaal dethroned for being "weak" or whatever. He tried his usual shtick of freaking her out with how much of a creepy bastard he was. Stalking the eternally-dark streets as a sort of Space Marine Batman, Curze began hunting down heretics and those who had been responsible for turning Nostramo into the cesspit it had become. Note: as always, psychic powers not included. Sevatar, a latent psyker, was exploring Konrad's psyche during the latter's unconsciousness resulting from wounds inflicted by the Lion El'Jonson during the Thramas Crusade. These interactions firmly establish Sanguinius as a foil to ol' Konrad, in the sense that both were cursed from birth with precognitive abilities that would shape their personalities and ultimately their fates.

Konrad was forced to raise himself on this lawless hell-hole, where violence and cruelty was rampant (although there was no crime, of course, there not being any laws to break) and usually went unpunished, the rich openly exploited the poor, and depression and the inability to escape one's social standing were also rampant, leading to the population being largely kept down not through any fancy measures, but instead by suicide. You can't save against the God-Damned Bat Man. The Lion is considered to be the most brilliant tactician of the Primarchs for a reason. It was this closeness that eventually led Konrad to confess to Fulgrim the nature of the visions he had received, as detailed in the popular duology of Black Library short stories The Dark King and The Lightning Tower. Other books have inverted the relationship, suggesting that the Night Haunter was the "honest" monster that was needed to do the terrible things required, whilst Curze was the fallible human who fell to his own weaknesses. Still, he would outdamage Fulgrim on the charge (1.472 wounds after all saves, 1.139 after IWND) and he would lose only thanks to the superior initiative of the Phoenician, coming extremely close to claiming a surprising draw. Konrad gets wrecked. Still could have handled it better, though...) Angry at the betrayal of trust while in the grip of one of his visions, Curze attacked Dorn with his lightning claws, mauling him so badly that if he hadn't been a Primarch he would have died from his wounds. Sire of the Night Lords also grants him the Acute Senses and Night Vision USR, and he may elect to have the first turn of any game have the Night Fighting rule, giving his sons 4+ cover in the open. Unfortunately, in Curze's absence, the population collapsed into the same corruption, criminality, and despair that had ruled the roost before his arrival.

Curze hits 3 times, wounds 2.25 times, 1.125 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.792 wounds at the start of the next turn. What the fuck. Probably didn't mind because the Night Lords have A talent for Murder.

Mothers began to threaten their kids that if they continued to misbehave, the Night Haunter would come for them. Immediately play a round of Gwent anywhere.

Or maybe "force" is the wrong word; they didn't battle so much as terrify their enemies into submission. The vindication is that even the Night Haunter is not beyond his judgement. Curze was all "fuck you, teleporters don't work here", to which Vulkan replied, "It's also a hammer". Now, we all know the Black Library can range from the godly to the Goto. Konrad claims to have seen a good and bad future at times, but always chose the grimdark future. Please note that all the various abilities are taken into accounts when possible and the match-ups assume the Primarchs are the only ones involved in the fighting, so various abilities like Angron's "The Butcher's Nails" and Rampage do not provide any bonuses. He had yet to reappear but had the entire planet on curfew while he was still (theoretically) around. Two merry psycho vigilantes. Easy win for Fulgrim.

He made strong attempts to educate himself on absolutely everything he could learn, and was noted for his skills as an adjudicator, worthy of a Reasonable Marine. Curze spent his last hours crafting a statue of Big E to whine about how daddy never loved him, and how his ways were necessary. Within the Night Lords, Curze and the Night Haunter each left their own legacy, which caused no small amount of schism. With that in mind this section is about how Konrad Curze fares against other Primarchs Mathhammer wise. Curze then proceeded to mutilate Azkaellon before blowing up a whole lot of Sanguinary Guard, threw what remained of Azkaellon off a cliff, and disappeared. During the Great Crusade and Heresy, they were churning out marines at a breakneck pace to keep up all those fuckhueg legion numbers, so a marine's personality remained much intact.). Another thing perhaps tied with his Multiple Personality Disorder is that Konrad Curze towards the end had ended up hating his own legion. Ferrus hits 2.5 times, wounds 2.083 times, 1.042 times after saves and IWND will take that down to 0.709 wounds at the start of the next turn. "That is not my name, Father. A true warrior has focus. To the surprise of most, Curze proved to be a fairly capable ruler, surprisingly just and temperate. When his confession was done, he burned the corpse-statue of the Corpse-Emperor and walked in his corpse-fortress and put on his armor, told his Legion to fuck off his damn corpse-lawn, and sat down to wait for his corpse-mama to come. Death is nothing compared to vindication.". I have known of you ever since your craft entered the Eastern Fringes. This included his brother Primarchs, and explained his fondness for Fulgrim - the one person who Konrad had not seen suffer a terrible death upon first meeting him. e.g. Vulkan ended up in a maze built by Perturabo, with his hammer at the end of it. His official court trial had barely started when he told Guilliman that that the Lion had broken his word by staging an ersatz orbital bombardment. And by forcing himself to hold still, so that the assassin could kill him, Curze was finally punishing the Night Haunter. The spectacle of fearsome acts. Sanguinius believed it possible to avert and alter the path of his future, but accepted it instead upon realizing that doing so would entail becoming something even worse in the progress; Konrad actively rejected even the possibility of doing so, as he considered his fate to be set in stone, to the point he'd lived his whole life based on that notion.
