@Morkar
I'll check it out.
Also, I've been reading small excerpts from Shroud of Night and holy shit. There's a fight between Kharn and Abaddon.

Does Kharn have outliers.
- 15,614

Probably.
Though (SPOILERS) Abby ******* demolishes him, since he's not written as a jobber, in this one.
Beating Celestine also seems pretty consistent for him, considering he defeated another living saint in a novel a couple years back.
Edit: Nvm Shroud of Night only makes callbacks to Kharn and Abby's actual fight, which seems to be fully shown somewhere in the Red Path series.

Also holy shit this series of comments from a tg thread on the Red Path had me in stitches.
">Turns out there are other CSM who also doubt Kharn's status as the favored mortal champion of Khorne. It goes further than that. Kharn's own berserkers think that Kharn's Red Path is nutty bullshit.
>I forgot to add this to my reply. They are eight foot tall, acid spitting transhumans who can eat brains and drink blood to gain memories, they live in hell(the Milky Way Galaxy and the Eye of Terror(double hell)), they serve a god that just wants blood and skulls but they think that the man who in a fit of rage shattered two legions isn't the favored of Khorne?
>The Jews did question Jesus being the messiah and the son of God. Kharn's Red Path is maybe the Christianity of the Khornate faith.
>Kharn is the Jesus of Khorne
>Is he going to die for their sins?
>He already did.
>Now, all will die for his sins."

Found Kharn vs Abaddon.
In short, Abaddon shows up and is like, "Yo dawg you'e gonna join my crusade" and Kharn isn't having that shit, so he attacks Abaddon. He lands some decent hits, but it overall outclassed and overpowered by the Despoiler, who is holding back the urge to kill Kharn due to how valuable he could potentially be. The fight is eventually stopped by a massive daemonic legion led by an XBAWKSHUEG Bloodthirster, who Khorne seems to be communicating through, telling the two they must work together, as for now their goals are the same.
Here it is in handy dandy image form.

i hard on only review i could find , that Red Path is a pretty boring book, where Kharn is without nuance unlike Eater of Worlds and from what i am seeing Abaddon lacks the affability and charisma of ADB.

Kharn vs Celestine:
Khârn revved Gorechild and clashed the axe's haft against his chestplate. Then he looked up, past them, and let out a long, low growl.
'The angel…' he rasped.
Celestine swept down, swinging her blade in a fiery arc of judgement. Her strike met Gorechild with a resounding clang, and Khârn was driven aside. Celestine hammered the Betrayer's guard with a blistering string of blows, darting, stabbing and hacking, driving him back step by step.
As she did, Kassar and D'sakh found their feet. A'khassor knelt over Skarle's fallen body, his reductor whining as it cracked open the fallen warrior's chestplate to extract his gene-seed.
'Do we shoot them?' asked Haltheus.
In that moment, Celestine shot a look back, over her shoulder, straight at Kassar. Her face was unreadable, but her intent was as clear to him as if she'd spoken aloud.
'No,' said Kassar. 'No. Exfiltrate.'
Leaving Skarle's fallen body, the last of the Unsung ran for the eastern arch. They passed the fight ignored; Khârn cared only about the angel he fought, and she sought only to hold his attention for as long as she could.
Bursting through a billowing crimson fog-bank, Kassar saw the arch ahead of them. A scattering of cultists stood in their way, ripping and battering at the fallen remains of a penitent engine. The Unsung fired a tight volley, blowing the mortals off their feet, and swept through the archway into the corridor beyond.
Celestine fought with speed and skill. She fought with determination, and a desire to see her enemy fall. Even though she knew that he wouldn't. Even though she knew that for her, this path, this incarnation ended here.
She was satisfied, for the Emperor's will had been done in this place, but she wept golden tears, for as the beacon's light went out, so the Tsadrekhan Unity would wither and end. Already she sensed the shadows gathering, the storm growing worse, darkness rushing in from the void to fill up the absence where light had lived. Billions were about to die, or worse.
Yet the dawn could not come without the darkness. Day could not be born anew without first vanquishing the night. She knew this as surely as she knew that the Emperor had meant to see the beacon in the hands of Kassar and his brothers, rather than let it fall to the worshippers of Khorne, or Slaanesh.
It was a grim equation, a measure of how desperate the Imperium's plight had become, but Celestine trusted her Emperor. For thousands of years, across dozens of lifetimes, he had never, ever led her wrong. He would not do so now.
She had faith.
And so, as her strength failed her, as Gorechild's ringing blows numbed her arms and drove her to her knees, she did not despair. As Khârn smashed the Ardent Blade from her hands, and ripped the beautiful wings from her back, she knew only satisfaction for her task, and sorrow for all those martyred to see it done.
And as he swung Gorechild high, and struck her head from her shoulders, Saint Celestine felt only blessed release.
I am unsure if Celestine was at full power.

"Celestine fought with speed and skill. She fought with determination, and a desire to see her enemy fall. Even though she knew that he wouldn't. Even though she knew that for her, this path, this incarnation ended here."
She seems to know she's outmatched here, and is fighting a battle she can't win because she must.

UPGRADES FOR THE UPGRADE GOD.
@Azzy
Yeah, but she had previously vanished in the story from what I had seen, and was only summoned in the last moment for one last time to battle Kharn and hold him back, and she seems to say she's dying.
Imma give you the PDF.

You know, Kharn getting even stronger is going to make him a lot less friends.
But that's OK, because friendship is magic.
And Khorne ******* hates magic.

Why is Kharn so broken. The profile doesn't convey it very much.

I don't think he is? He's not like an Ahriman or Magnus. It's just that his power is to make people who are broken less broken.

@Az...question, what does this mean for Zeke? is he stronger then Kharn by what is the word....by Powerscaling?
- 15,614
- 7,054
I mean, by feats as well. Abby is supposed to be the strongest mortal servant of Chaos, killed a perfect clone of Horus, and overpowered Kharn when they fought, despite the fact Kharn was trying to kill him while Abaddon was holding back.

Eldrad > Abbadon => Chaos Horus
Crazy.

- 15,614

Regular Horus, not Chaos Horus. Eldrad is more or less comparable to Abaddon, though weaker in raw power. After all, the story makes it clear Eldrad's chances of actually defeating Abby were pretty abyssmal, though he accomplished it through sheer force of will and combat prowess.
It's more like:
Chaos Horus > Chaos Abaddon ~ Eldrad > Base Horus

I will "legally" allow you to "borrow" the "book" if I get it.
This is clearly "not" "innuendo".
@Matt
Her power awakening shook Commorragh. I don't know exactly how to quantify that, but Commorragh is large enough to contain multiple pocket realms, a population larger than that of entire star systems combined, and captured suns.

I mean, she's only been in two supplements so far, with her first full novel not out yet.
Off the top of my head though, she casually dispelled a horde of daemons and caused massive damage to a continent sized Craftworld when she created the Yncarne.

Randomly showing up for a question....
Due to Kharn's most recent upgrade, and if I was to Equalize the speed....Could Kharn beat the God Emperor?

No.
God Emperor one-shots. A lot of people in 40K one-shot, really.
Abaddon probably does if he goes 100%.

GW will cocktease it and then nothing actually lasting will happen because GW loves money. Same reason they couldn't kill Abaddon the one time he actually lost to someone.

you know guys, i love Zeke's desing and all, but you know what would be cool? if he had a golden mask, maybe similar to a stylized skull, would it not be good? as all the Chaos Champs have a helm in one way or another, would it be OOC?
