He can join any unit because his mark has 1 of each and well he can. You can quote the rule your puking all over here and quite frankly you know your wrong. Just remember most of you rules lawering RAW people here have been wrong 12 out of 10 times when faq reviels the truth off it.

JUST LIKE the zombie hordes of cultist are up to 35 per unit.

I know it is annoying, especially the ones who have to post their opinion 300 times in every thread, but doing this is what they want. They are just trying to piss you off so they can report you to a mod and get their jollies.

As presently written, it's pretty clear that Abaddon can't join any Marked units.
If we had an impossible hypothetical IC with three marks: K+N+T, and a unit with three marks K+N+S, they can't join up, because there's that one mismatch.

Basically the way it's written, a single mismatch immediately triggers the denial of an IC to join the unit.


That said, I hardly care either way, but honestly I don't have a single doubt which way the FAQ will go.

I doubt that, if we had the means to ask them all, that we could find any single staff member at GW that will say Abaddon can't join any damn unit he wants!

Unfortunately we will have to wait for CSM FAQ Take 2 as it is not covered.

And I think it's up for interpretation - he doesn't want to show favoritism to any one god, so can only join unmarked units.

Which is exactly what I said back on page 3 (maybe 4).

The 12 out of ten times isn't a miss-math quote, Its sarcasm.

That's nice. Citation needed to prove sarcasm?

Still Abby is not allowed to join a marked squad, post faq.

Bad sarcasm as well. Also it wasnt answered in the FAQ, so still RAW he cannot join units with a different mark to him.
