But Abbadon gets 4 attacks plus 1d6 attacks. So either a minimum of no attacks when he rolls a one for his weapon or 10 attacks at the max.

but would all the attacks be from the daemon weapon or just the ones from the D6 rolled???

Abbadon's attacks have the attacks of the talon of horus and his demon sword giving him d6+4 attacks that have the properites of a lightning claw crossed with a power fist. But he's overpriced in my opinion.

a friend of mine plays CSM and has the greater daemon, but i'm sad to say he has no clue how to use him in close combat , and Abaddon says +D6 attacks in with daemon weapon??? That mean regular 4attacks under A, plus his (D6)daemon weapon?? and i read when using a daemon weapon you must roll 1D6 before rolling to HIT, and on a 1 he suffers a wound....

any further info would help?? thx.

looked in the rule book and in his codex, learned some but still confused..

Codex: Chaos Space Marines
Typhus, p.55
Abbadon, p.46
Greater Daemon, p.62
General daemon weapon rules, p.93

Long story short though, a Daemon Weapon gives you a bonus D6 attacks, but if you roll 1 for your bonus attacks, you suffer a wound with no armour save (invulnerble saves are ok). If you have a Mark of Chaos then the effect is different based on which God. If you're using a special character with a Daemon Weapon (ie Typhus or Abbadon) they have their rules in their section.

All of that could have been learned from the Codex... I suggest reading it. Make your friend read it too. Then read it together.
