Hello, I'm writing this list because I'm trying to build one around everyones favorite traitor king, Abaddon!

Its 1500 points because that is the size of the usual games and tournaments around here.

HQ
Abaddon the Despoiler

TROOPS

10 x Chaos Space Marines
- 2 x Melta-Gun
- Melta Bombs
- Mark of Khorne

10 x Chaos Space Marines
- 2 x Flamer
- Melta Bombs
- Mark of Khorne

8 x Chaos Space Marines
- 1 x Flamer
- Melta Bombs
- Mark of Khorne

HEAVY SUPPORT

1 x Chaos Landraider
- Extra Armour
- Dirge Caster

1 x Chaos Landraider

- Dirge Caster

1500 points

I can see I might have to reserve the Landraiders if fighting someone with a lot of Meltas in Drop Pods, or some Eldar lists.

And some match ups will be bad for me, but that is the case with any list, no matter how well you write it.

So does anyone know a 1500 point CSM list with Abaddon in it that they thing would be a better TAC list than this one?

Good luck bro. U atleast did one thing right, no chosen. I have been making chosen lists but they fail.

Excuse the long post, but I liked your idea and gave it a shot, so here it is as follows:

HQ:
Abbadon the Spoiled one.


Troops:(bear with me on this one)

Chosen-5 man squad
x4 Flamers
(Mark of Khorne to keep your theme)

Chosen- 5 man squad
x4 Flamers
(Mark of Khorne)

CSM squad-10 man x 10 cc weapons
mark of khorne
x2 melta
w/Rhino extra armour, dozer blade, dirge

Heavy Support:
x 2 Land Raider dirge caster, dozer blade, and extra armour

Fast attack
x2 3 man chaos bike squad 2 melta
champion w/ combi-melta

I figured if you used abbadon its best to at least try the cho$$$en. comes in at 1498.

Chosen+4 flamers+lr = burna boyz in an ork battle wagon. Not quite but close enough, but I like it.

HQ
Abaddon the Despoiler 265

Troops
5 x Chosen w/ Rhino 2 x meltaguns - Champion w/ melta bombs 150
5 x Chosen w/ Rhino 2 x meltaguns - Champion w/ melta bombs 150
5 x Chosen w/ Rhino 2 x plasma guns - Champion w/ melta bombs 160
5 x Chosen w/ Rhino 2 x plasma guns - Champion w/ melta bombs 160

Fast Attack
Heldrake baleflamer 170

Heavy Support
5 x Havocs 4 x autocannons 115
5 x Havocs 4 x autocannons 115

1750 but obviously you can reduce it down.

Personally i dont like abbadon since his not a very good HQ but you said you like him so here is my take.

I like it.

Please play all 3 at some point & tell us alll how it goes.
