oh hey, its that guy. is he really Failbaddon? im not so sure. for one, the chaos gods dont really care that he loses every black crusade, because of the stupid amount of mortals that get killed on either side makes them quite happy. and he knows that whenever he wrecks the place, the imperium is diverting soldiers from all over the galaxy to stop him, which leaves less imperial soldiers about to fight orks, tyrnaids, eldar and so on.
HORRRY SHEEET its also the last page of my chaos marine fandex! all i have to do now is sort out the final army point values and option lists, and then i'll release it ^^
Abaddon the Despoiler HQ 290pts Size: 1 (Unique) Type: Infantry If Abaddon is in your army, you may take units of Chosen and Chaos Terminators as Troop choices
As for being balanced, I think he's ok since he's nearly 300 points with a lower strength (6 instead of 8) and less attacks traded for re-rolling hits and wounds. If I read that right.
Well done. Good statline and rules. After testing his new rules I must admit that he is a monster in close combat. Great job. Great fandex is going to be released.
He isn't Failbaddon . Each Black Crusade has it's own goal to accomplish. The 12th Black Crusade goal was to capture six Blackstone Fortress. The 13th Black Crusade goal is to conquer Cadian Gate.
What do you think about making special retinue squad : Chosen of Abaddon ?
WS:5 BS:5 S:4(5) T:4 W:2 I:4 A:3 Ld:10 Sv: 2+/5+
Infantry , 1-4 models , 75 points per model Wargear : Terminator Armour , Great Weapons (+1 S , Power Weapon) Special Rules: Stubborn , Preferred Enemy , Furious Charge
You're welcome It was just a proposition. Personally I like the idea of retinue for powerful generals like Chapter Masters (Honour Guard) , Chaos Lords (Chosen\Chosen Terminators) and I think that Warmaster should have his own unique retinue ,but on the other hand he is too powerful to be protected by his bodyguards .
I used abaddon for the first time this weekend, and i can safely say that youve made him way to powerfull. Abaddon as standard is immense, and in my 1000 point game wiped out a librarian in teminator armour, and two 10 man space marine squads single handedly, only lossing one wound. Re- rolling both to hit and to wound is abit OTT. Having the mark of chaos undevided is redundant, as he is fearless. Im not sure about the idea of forcing units of terminators or chosen on people, even if they are troops. I wouldnt have him count as having an icon though, as this would mean that any unit he joins gains his marks. Indomitable will seems fine, but as he's fearless, this will rarly come into play. The loss of the deamon weapon is dissipointing, and the lack of strength 8 attacks.
Still, it'll be nice to see the army list as a whole. Have you considdered re-inserting the daemons?
oh yeah, the daemons are sort of in there. giving lesser daemons the mark of nurgle will automatically give them feel no pain, for example, making them sort-of-plaguebearers
Anyway, he has my approval, although I'm tempted to call him "A bit cheap" for what he does.

not sure about the unique retinue, making an entire unit only for abaddon seems like a bad idea to me
