Aurelian Puns

The Primarch book Aurelian was one of the first books that I read in the Horus Heresy series and I have loved it ever since. However, as I get deeper into the lore I can’t help but see some glaring inconsistencies.

In the book “Aurelian” Lorgar bodies Angrath the Unbound. Angrath is supposedly the greatest of the bloodthirsters and Lorgar at this point was probably the worst Primarch in martial combat.

Compare this event to Sanguinius losing to Ka’Bandha their first meeting… Sanguinius was tired yes but he was also one of the greatest primarchs in martial combat. Also, yes Ka’Bandha was also one of the greatest of the bloodthirsters, he was and is not as good as Angrath.

Help me! Explain to me how little Lorgar can body the greatest bloodthirster Khorne can throw at him, but Sanguinius needs a rematch to beat the second best? And please don’t explain it was just “bad writing” I’m trying to still enjoy Aurelian as a book.

So, it's relatively simple but needs assumptions. We will first say that Graia happens around the same time as Sicarius is overseeing Ventris's trial for Codex Breach, so Titus is Acting Captain. Graia happened after Kyras died so that the Blood Ravens could spare a squad and can use their new battle cry of None Shall Find Us Wanting. Sevastus Acheran, Cato's actual successor in command, was injured during Graia so Titus, third in line, was sent there. After Titus got arrested, Cato tore Leandros a new one for going to the Inquisition rather than a Chaplain or him as actual Captain. Cato went missing in the warp for about ten years in the Indomitus Crusade, Acheran succeeded him. Cato got promoted to Victrix Guard Captain at the Plague Wars after escaping with the survivors of his Strike Cruiser, then Titus returned after serving with the Black Templars until they could make sure he was clean and then sticking around during the mess with the Great Rift opening, became Primaris and was made Lieutenant as that's what he would be in the new initial Codex revision in issue until Guilliman finishes the Codex Imperialis.

Or SM1 devs just didn't pay attention to Company colors and we are forced to play mental gymnastics because of negligence.

This is a very ridiculous question but this forum is really the only place I can think to ask it.

I saw a guy today peeing on the Aurelian walls and I got a little upset. "How dare you urinate in this respectable establishment, you fucking idiot!"

But then again, knowing Rome I figured people have been pissing on it forever.
