==Duel with [[Skulltaker]]== For all the martial prowess that he has that he is the 40k version of Sigismund (except with Psyker Powers) he isn't capable of defeating every foe that he fights. See, the Chosen Bloodletter of Khorne was going to turn a planet into a Daemon World. Seeing that none of his buddies are one the same level in swordmanship as he and Skulltaker, Crowe had no choice but to challenge the Daemon to single combat (instead of shooting him from orbit or spamming Psych-Out Grenades or calling in a Blank/Pariah Assassin). But even he knew that the odds are against him (considering that Skulltaker has fought and killed Grey Knights before, he had every reason to be worried) and that he had to CHEAT just to survive dueling the Daemon! So he threw Super Holy Water at Skulltaker in order to weaken him and thus their duel began. Despite being weakened, Skulltaker was able to match Crowe swordstrike to swordstrike and the duel continued on for HOURS! But those hours were all the time the Grey Knights needed as the rest of the team purged the Daemonic Horde from the planet. Crowe leaves the planet alive and still retaining the cursed sword (Imagine how much CHAOS it would have done had Skulltaker taken it). '''An alternate viewpoint on that duel:''' A nemesis force weapon is supposed to be supernaturally light, supernaturally hard, and psychically-attuned to its grey knight wielder so that its mere touch has the potential to destabilize daemonic flesh. A master-crafted nemesis weapon, like the one Castellan Crowe should possess by right as the Brotherhood Champion, brings those qualities to a whole other level. So, to fight a being like Skulltaker, a weapon such as that is not only a necessity, but the mere thought of using anything less would mean you [[Grimdark|deserve whatever happens to you]]... Unfortunately, Castellan Crowe does not have a master-crafted nemesis force weapon, nor even a regular nemesis weapon. No, in this epic duel of duels, he was forced to use the fencing equivalent of a ''lead pipe'' -- A lead pipe that [[FAIL|actively resists his every swing, consistently tries to break his focus, and repeatedly attempts to get him killed in every battle]]. To spite this near-impossible handicap, he still managed to fight toe-to-toe with a 'slightly weakened' Skulltaker for several hours. It bears to iterate again that he took on the personal champion of the deadliest warrior in existence and beat him by improvising any means at his disposal while wielding a shitty weapon actively trying to kill him. '''''CHEAT''''', they say? Give Crowe the ''Titansword'' -- Grand Master Draigo's Relic nemesis force blade (S+4/AP-4/D3). Then and only then, would the Chaos Gods have the right to file a complaint about "Cheating".
