I have one, and I've decided to share it with you all. Here goes:

Abaddon is secretly on the side of the Imperium. Think about it. Guy abandons Horus. Guy puts major effort into preventing the man who nearly brought Chaos to victory from coming back. Somehow, despite controlling massive armies and uniting almost every squabbling Chaos faction, never leads Chaos to a successful campaign. And his big win? Against Eldrad. A Xeno and enemy of the Imperium. Also, a jerk. Additionally, despite being one of the oldest and most powerful Chaos Lords, he has yet to (a) become a Demon Prince, or (b) turn into a blubbering Chaos spawn. Perhaps it's the tiny mustard seed of goodness/faith/sanity/order hiding in the back of his brain, that is keeping him on this edge.

We already have alpha legion doing that, i doubt GW would repeat it with another character.

Why not? It would certainly be surprising.

Abaddon is merely a precursor of the nerfage that happened to the chaos space marines codex.

I think he's just biding his time. I believe that he's been made aware somehow of the Golden Throne's slow mechanical failure and is simply keeping the Imperium's defenses around the Eye weak so that when the Golden Trone finally kicks out, he can just march liesurely to Terra and crown himself.

It's possible but you have to remember too that it was said that Horus would've destroyed humanity (And thus all of Chaos) a few decades later if he would have won the war due to immense feelings of guilt and despair over his actions. In my opinion, Abbaddon is just bad news through and through. I mean, Horus might have virus bombed worlds, but Abbaddon straight on blows them up.

Eldrad is a total dick.

Abaddon just sucks. Period.

Horus was the greatest, and will always be the greatest Chaos Lord.

He was... until the Emperor purged his very soul from existence. Now he is not only dead, but much, much worse.

The reason evry Crusade has failed is because Abaddon is fail embodied. The only reason he beat Eldrad is because the chaos gods (Who still love us CSM players, I'm sure !) combined to bring down Eldrads ultimate dickery.


Thought for the day:4chan must be eradicated. That means you Cheese.

The Golden throne will not fail... Cypher is on the way to terra with the batteries.

Abbadon hates Horus because he had the whole galaxy in his graph but lost it.

Meaning Horus would had destroyed the Imperium and the Imperial palace but He lowered the shields on his battle barge to better watch its destruction.


Why? In Galaxy In Flames, while Loken is dieing lots of missiles are falling from the sky. He thinks "Such a display was typical of the Warmaster. It was a final Epitaph that would leave no-one in doubt would had won"

I believe this is the same thing. Or he was inviting the Emporer cause he wanted a showdown.

Abbadon hates everyone. Orks, other CSM, the Imperium of man, You, himself.... But he is currently winning the 13th crusade (he has taken over half of the Cadian Gate, including about 3/4 of Cadia.)

But his constantly failing rear end is failing at space... He cannot reinforce his units that are spread out... leaving it easy for the Imperium to conquer his forces one location at a time.

It's very simple. The Alpha legion are whats causing Abbadon to fail because they know if he wins the Alpha Legions plan to eliminate the Chaos gods will fail!

Hav eyou read "Galaxy in Flames"?

Blasphemy against the blasphemous

Abaddon what a failmeister typical Saturday morning cartoon villiany is what that man is.

Seriously Abaddon couldnt win if win was put on a very long stick and dangled in front of his face then a fanfare of win rang out and win decended from the heavens on pearly winny wings.

the man CANT win! so thus he is the jibe of jokes from hobbists for years to come.

He only took 3/4 of cadia cause he caught them all with their pants down this is why the Chaos gods facepalm everytime his application for Daemonhood is put their way its like promoting someone who shows potential but cant do their job for gak.

Making Abby a daemon prince would be a classic case of promoting someone beyond their abilities.

If he isn't a case of that already.

And yet, somehow in the past, he's managed to fail so bad it turned into a win that netted him a suit of Terminator armour. Likely he divided by 0, or perhaps managed to outflank CREEEEED, but that's about the only time he's scored a victory. Ever since he got that Terminator armour, he's been slower and more fail than ever. Even his pose is fail, as it looks like he's yelling out "SLAVE! BRING ME A TACO, THAT I MIGHT DEVOUR IT FOR THE DARK GODS!"

I dub thee Abaddon Homer of the 41st century. You sir are an EPIC FAIL!

He's also managed to fail so badly that he got his uber special daemon sword OF DOOM from the Chaos Gods.

The Cabal was corrupted to Chaos, and corrupted the Alpha Legion in their turn.

So I guess he did both... Maybe he Outflanked CREEEEED, which resulted in the Armour, and then it caused a Division of Zero which destroyed the world he was fighting on and opened a warp rift. So they gave him the Sword. In any case, it still only counts as one win.

Why the fail on the fail 40k is in the 41st century?

Vindicator#9 wrote:Why the fail on the fail 40K is in the 41st century?

No. It isn't. A Century is 100 years... K stands for "Thousand". Warhammer 40,000 is set in the year 40,000... Do the math.

ok fixed, back on topic.

The fluff says he had to go through some trial to get it. I always imagined that the trial was designed by Khorne, and it consisted solely of "PUSH THE BIG RED BUTTON". Khorne is known for brutality and strength, not brains.

He managed to convince the Iron Warriors that a holiday in the Cadian Gate would be nice and there currently sitting on one of the worlds pewing anything that gets close.

Sorry major brain fart.
