Yeah, but not Sanguinius' strength. The Fabulous Hawk Boy managed beat Ka'Bandha and Angron back-to-back.

Angron is only saved from being the most bitch made whiner of the Primarchs by Lorgar.

There was that one fight they had that had them using their precognition to block each other's attacks and ended with them basically going "well, neither of us is supposed to die here, so let's talk." Take the precognition away, though, and Curze would have lost that fight in a heartbeat. He trained himself to be an ambush predator, not a warrior, and his precognition wasn't flawless anyway. The Lion was able to catch him off guard several times and Sanguinius pointed out later on that Curze's visions were only possibilities, not 100% solid predictions, so even when he was using it, it wasn't always reliable.

That's why I view the Lion as the loyalist version/foil of Konrad and not Corvus Corax (hear me out). Konrad became an ambush predator due to Nostromo's people and never got a chance to grow out of it thanks to Nostromo being a shithole. The Lion became a knight, but he was initially a predator of the Caliban wilds. Konrad survived by hunting people, The Lion survived hunting warp tainted monsters. Konrad put the fear of a gruesome death into people, while The Lion put the fear of total eradication into people.
And then there's my favorite legion, the Iron Warriors, who are run by a petulant manchild and a grade A prick.

You know when every someone bitches how GW needs to retcon the 2nd and or 11th to be female Primarchs
I always point to Lorgar (and sometimes Fulgrim and Perturabo) as already canon example of Primarchs who aren't men.

Could've sworn that was after he unlocked his psyker capabilities during his pilgrimage into the warp and got a buff from the Chaos gods. If he fought An'ggrath before that, he would've likely got his shit pushed in. Plus, a lot of people speculate he became the fourth most powerful psyker in the galaxy behind Big E, Malacador, and Magnus when he unlocked his psyker abilities.

I usually don't like Ghamak. I know they're trying to deviate stylistically enough to avoid the dark finger of GW, but I'm not crazy about their choices.
Usually.
But they are one of the designers that understands that gaming miniatures are not just game assets shrunk down. They know how to exaggerate the details that need to be exaggerated, simplify where they need to simplify, etc. I wish I liked their design choices more, because their quality is great.

I'm not aware of the creator or his work. I just found the models in a file trading group. There are some minor downsides but I personally think these models blow the stock troupe out of the water. The only problem I have is they only provide specifically designed models for the Lead Player, Death Jester, Shadowseer, and 3 Players. For the remaining two Players I have to pick out a head/body/weapons from 5 or 6 different options, so the models won't be as detailed or purpose built. That's fine because some of the main models don't have kill team accurate weapons but I'm not too worried about it since I've never felt the emersion everyone keeps talking about when it comes to tabletop games. I don't see how people can get locked into pretending the saviors/destroyers of the galaxy are 1-6in tall and made of chintzy plastic.
Bare, unpainted GW harelquin models kind of suck in my opinion. The only thing that really makes them pop is the insane paint jobs they show off, which might be some of the highest skilled painted GW has used for promos. Even if you think the models just look alright and aren't anything special, consider the cost. To build a void dancer kill team, you need to buy 4 different things.
1 troupe box is $45 and you need two of them. You have to buy the Death Jester and the Shadowseer separately, which are both $33.50. That's $157 before paying shipping on 4 different items, so let's say shipping would be another $30 on average, bringing the total to $187. Then I'd have to pay about 11% sales tax, which adds another $20.50, bringing the total to $207. Buying online is the cheapest route for me due to my local GW store being a good bit more expensive than 2nd hand purchases + shipping. None of this factors in assembly and paint time.
The cost of printing these models (which again, I highly prefer to the stock models) is significantly different. I won't factor in the cost of the printer or resin because my printer has paid for itself probably 50x over. I get my resin for free by trading for printed models, but let's pretend I had to buy resin specifically for this print. Without any failed prints, each model uses about $0.50 in resin and I can print 3 complete models a day. That means I've got a team ready to assemble in about 2.5 days at the cost of about $4. Then you have the time it takes to assemble and paint, but these models print in 3 pieces so they're slightly faster to assemble. The only additional time needed was the time it took me to slice the 8 models, which accounts for maybe 45 minutes for the entire kill team.
$4 worth of models I like > $207 of models I don't really like

Ghamak is pretty good, don't get me wrong. My complaints about Ghamak are purely a preference thing.
If I ever print out any Eldar proxies, I'm going to use Heroes Infinite's Arcadian Elves.
This, unfortunately, is a common problem with 3D printed models. You'll get a designer that has a very nice style... but they only do part of an army, and leave you lacking.
I absolutely love Last Sword's "Wood Elves of Nomen-Betu" line, they're fantastic proxies for Warhammer Fantasy wood elves... But there are no proxies for Wild Riders or Glade Riders.

Those Eldar models look amazing but I tend to shy away from the stuff where I think the heads and hairstyles look too anime inspired. It was a huge problem when I printed my sisters army. I liked some of the models more than the ones I ended up going with because the ones I liked didn't have detachable heads and they all looked like uwu v-tubers.
Edit- I'd also like to ask for some advice. I need a 3rd color for a harlequin paint scheme. It will be used for their masks and all the trim on their clothing. I'm leaning gold, silver, or white. Anything that shows their skin like hands, wrists, and unmasked parts of the head will be left black.

I'm quite certain Eldrad Ulthran is about on par with the emperor, but don't take my word for it I'm not beholden to imperial propaganda.

You've done Purple and Blue. The obvious contrasting color to this would be an orange. So gold would definitely be where I'd lean towards.
Myself, I've been considering doing a Harlequin army (since there are STLs for the entire damned thing out there) and using the Vallejo Shifter paints, or something similar.
They're iridescent paints, so they look different from what angle you look at them at. I figured you could do up an entire army by painting various checkerboard patterns and the like with them and then every time you move the figurines they'd shift constantly.

there's always OPR to tide you over, not sure if 10th is still sticking with IGOUGO...
did you check their website or patreon? kickstarters tend to be a mix of models to get you to buy their next one or the "missing" ones from their store (since it's usually old patron releases anyway, or if they're really cuntish they add some exclusives to the KS so you have to spend double to get those).
the other thing is lot of creators either do "wargame" or "rpg", the former gives you are more complete army while the latter only has a few models that would fit but not covering every aspect (like ghamak). the big ones like artisan guild or titan forge even have their own rule system. OPR of course too but they only do certain armies. there was another popular one but the models and their army selection never worked for me, so I didn't remember the name (was mainly tomb kings, chaos dwarves and lizardmen)
there's also maker's cult which is more of an artist collective so the few armies they do tend to have a lot of options (and quite a few of the individual artists had models canceled by GW). hero's infinite also does big releases, but they've been selling warhammer clones for ages (sadly they already said they have no plans to release those as STL, those crimson redeemer sisters are fucking sweet):
personally I'm a big fan of artisan guild, although that might be a bit too "world of warcraft" for some.
also not really warhammer related, there's one shop doing armies in the old rackham/confrontation style:

Check out Turbo Dork. I think their colors would look great on Harlequins. A friend of mine painted a vaporwave themed Tau army and used their stuff.
Kill team is fun. It's like X-Com mixed with Risk. It's also a lot easier to memorize what your army does and different armies offer different ways of building a roster.

Good call with the gold. I'm as bad at photography as I am at painting. I never can get the detail to pop on my phone.
