Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anyone Play as Chaos Undivided?

i started off as a full khorne army, but as i expanded upto the 3000 point mark, i began to include other gods into the army with thousand sons, nurgle bikers, and slanneshi troops,

Don't be silly, Abbadon is easy to beat. Calgar beat him up, Lysander beat him up, the Night Bringer and Deceiver slaughtered him.
Saying that, the Night Bringer can kill that massive Bloodthirsty, Angrath I think he was called.

Then I guess you guys never played a Real Abbadon player then. compared to others I use Chaos to it's full potential. in a sense I can make and if I get lucky can make him match nearly a Greater Daemon. Plus even if Typhus can try to remove his abilities Abbadon has the Mark of Chaos which Bestows all of the chaos to him. so in other words he would be a greater version of Typhus. Plus he can;t be killed outright and can slay a Landraider with his weapons alone. Plus he has a great Invuranble Save. you might wish to look him up sometime if you wish to be a true Chaos Player.

Allow me to enlighten you Caleidah. For me I play Chaos, Space marines, Imperial Guard and the Imperial Inquisition but when someone bad mouths a good unit that just doesn't work with me I'm trying not to argue just telling them that he is the Ultimate Badass. But hey he can be killed no one ever said he was Invincible. Well of course I could put more Chaos but why do that when Abbadon makes up for it with his abilities. So for me Abbadon works just as well as a small Battlion. but just saying it as a thought though.

Allow me to enlighten you, DG. I primarily play CSM, but also dabble in Imperial Guard, Inquisition (Daemonhunters primarily, don't like sisters), Tau, Eldar, and many others I could name. I've played with every army but, then again, most folks in this guild have. That's why our discussions are so good. We all have a little experience with everyone with our own fields of expertise.

Abbadon -can- be points effective. I won't deny that. He has beastly stats, good rules, etc etc ad infinitum. I won't argue that point, because it is impossible to argue against what is printed in the books. What I can and will argue, though, is that you can re-purpose the points that you would have spent on him toward huge amounts of field flexibility. If you don't have a Land Raider (another big investment of points), that means that Abbadon has to walk or deepstrike in. Spending the extra points on the almost necessary Terminators to go with him again takes a big slice out of your army.

Now on toward the more tactical side. Given that he has a 1/6 chance of hurting himself and being unable to attack in any given assault, he becomes a magnet for tarpit units, the same as any other Chaos Lord. An IG player will hurl conscripts with an attached Commissar Lord, Orkz have the tide of boyz, etc. All armies have one. Sure, they might break after one assault. Those kinds of units run the risk of that happening in any assault. However, Daemon Weapon users like Abbadon have a chance of actively harming themselves in combat. They are the only characters in the game that have that ability. I would much save around 100 pts and throw a Terminator Lord of Khorne at my enemies for that.

I know that you'll disagree and you have every right to. I'm OK with that. Just please do not be condescending toward me or any other member of this guild while you are here.

Just remember, everyone, it isn't fun to feel like you're being picked on.

DG, I'd love to talk CSM tactica with you some more. What's your favorite unit?
