Already he has great stats, but here comes the kicker. His weapons are the Talon of Horus, which both shoots and swings, and his sword Drach'nyen. The Talon in shoota mode is a Rapid Fire bolt weapon that fires two shots up to 24" at S4, AP-1, for D3 damage each, and in choppa mode it can do anywhere from 1 to 6 swings at S10, AP-4, for D3 damage again. But the sword is the reason for the '''holy shit''' at the beginning of the section. Every time Abby fights ('''NOT''' for each attack, meaning the ability triggers no matter what if he attacked at least once with Drach'nyen) you roll a D6. On a 1, Abby eats a mortal wound and cannot fight anymore that phase. However, for any other result, you get to make that many additional attacks with Drach'nyen. Rolled a 4 and swung twice? You get a grand total of 6 swings with the sword. Drachnyen only hits for S6 at AP-3, but it's a flat 3 damage as opposed to the Talon's D3.
Now for his abilities: Like all Chaos Marines, Abaddon has '''Death to the False Emperor''', '''Bolter Discipline''', and '''Hateful Assault'''. But Abby has a few more. For one, because of '''The Warmaster''', you get a bonus 2 CP if he's your Warlord in a Battle-forged army. Next up is '''Dark Destiny.''' This one gives Abaddon a 4++ save, as well as ''halving all incoming damage.'' That [[Seraptek_Heavy_Construct|Seraptek]] wants to shoot you with its obliterators? Any shot you fail to save only does three damage, not six! '''Lord of the Black Legion''' allows you to reroll failed hits for any {{W40kKeyword|BLACK LEGION}} units within 6" of him, and any {{W40kKeyword|BLACK LEGION}} units within 12" of Abaddon auto-pass Morale tests. Finally, Abaddon can deepstrike himself. His Warlord trait? It's '''First amongst Traitors''', which causes DttFE to go off on a 5 or 6 while the unit is within 6" of him.


FUCK ALL THAT HE WAS REDONE AGAIN!

While hefty at 300 pts., he's gonna break every bone in every body. Like always the claw has a ranged option. Now its 4 assault shots at S5 AP-1 D2. The melee options are easily distinguishable: the claw for enemies with one wound, Drach'nyen for everything else.
He's so loaded with perks, its unreal. 4++, can't lose more than 3W per phase, first wound per is nullified. So he's tanky af. He buffs his subordinates quite a lot. Black Legionaires (Core and Chars) can reroll all hits and wounds in 6". Through his 3 Warlord Traits he can generate even more Attacks and reroll charges.
