I don't even -mind- Calgar. My only issue with him is getting a new model again while others starve.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with his 8e model. It's not old. It didn't feel old to build. Its mould has not aged badly, the sprue tech is up to date. His proportions and scale are up to date.

It's just such a feeling of waste. Drukhari don't get to have a faction leader at all but Calgar gets this? I don't even play Drukhari but this is just sad.

The problem with his 8th model is that he is in Gravis armor which in 8th was suppose to be the new hotness to replace the terminator armor but now in 10th when they realized that Gravis can't replace terminators (this is from a guy who really like Gravis models to) with them now getting upscaled models they needed him back in the right armor to sell more models.

He's also a very powerful model that you might see way too often.
And for me personally? The fact that he gets a CP automatically when Abaddon only has a 60% chance to irks me.

He gets - in theory - at least two chances at that 60% in each player turn, right? 4 chances per Battle Round where you can only add the one CP ever right?? And he's got a Strike + Sweep melee, right? He gets a Pick One Primarch/Sumpreme Strategiest Style ability that includes rare AURA abilities right? And Calgar only gets the point if he's the Warlord and on the battlefield right? I'd be mopre annoyed Abbadon is still MV 5" instead of 6" Abby is a cross between Primarch and Calgar. Calgar can lead MV6 squads and can MV6. Abby can lead MV6 Chosen but can't MV6. Beyond that, there's very little to whine about Abbadon about.
