I greatly enjoy the content, but I think this video shows how ridiculously strong Abaddon is currently. Hopefully he gets reigned in soon.
It is the Baneblade!
No ynnead?
Abaddon the Armless is no threat. (Idly laughs in fluff before enjoying the crunch)
Hooly this Abaddon wank is straight up cringey. Someone at gw must've had enough of the failbaddon jokes to make him this absurdly op
im sorry farsight instead of shadow sun
The enemy strikes back and does max 3 damage. There , math done. What kind of mouth-breathing mongoloid came up with this rule.
I did not expect Abaddon to beat Magnus
As possibly the biggest Mortarion fanboi I am super pleased he was victorious over Abaddon.
I see Sly Marbo wasnt included out of respect. Didnt want to embarass Abaddon
So basically, Abaddon now has the plot armor he has in lore, on the tabletop.
About time Abaddon is equal on Tabletop as he is in Lore plot armour is the ShizzzNit!
Would habe lied to see the yncarne for ynnnari
Lol, Abaddon beating Guiliman, Silent King, Draigo ? This would be more believable with Horus.
I'm glad that no matter how elaborate models are getting, and how large their bases are. Nightbringer with it's 40mm base can still turbo murder.
I really enjoy these videos they r so chill 🙂
Its insane that such a boring villain, lore-wise is so ridiculously OP.
Lets face it, it's been obvious for years (throughout most editions) that Abaddon has some compromising naked picture of the GW rules development team.
I wanna see him vs Celestine
Abaddon just pawns a Primarch?? Ridiculous
Sly Marbo was not in this video i wonder why?
While I know that Canis Rex is the only named knight character, the preceptor class knight is hot garbage. I wish it was a better chassis used.
Im not sure but isn't a standaard walkrant with reaper of obliterax and a hvc + heightened senses ALOT better than the swarmlord, it will surely make black legion goo out of him? And if you say swarmlord is the faction leader.. swarmlord isn't a supreme commander and they both have the same hive tyrant keyword and necrons got their c tan
Nightbringer should ignore the Mark of Tzeentch with his special rule?
For the Aeldari you should have taken the Yncarne instead of the Avatar of Khaine as that's a much better vessel for multi-phase dmg potential since the Ynnari have p. good MW-dealing psychic powers. Couple that with Strands of Fate (which you'll always have to some extent especially in a turn you think those two might face each other since you'd be picking all the hit/wound dice you can get for that turn) and you might get some good mileage against Abbie between all the MW's and the Invuln ignoring attacks with Strands.
I wish admech had some suitably impressive heroes
Id argue that the mark of Tzeetch does not apply due to the C'tans drain life ability. Changing something to 0 is effectively ignoring it.
I don't think your math is right man, Creed v. Abaddon has a 12 to 1 win ratio.
that intro. Oh wow. You the man Auspex
The intro killed me
Not OP at all..
The Lion better be good…
a Chaos Lord that instaggibs a Primarch. this is not a Primarch problem, is an Abaddon problem. The only way this guy meets his match is if he happens upon 2 other guys that have no place in a normal game too. He shouldnt be able to feed a Primarch his own ass like this. either Guiliman and Magnus need a serious look boost, or Abaddon needs to be visited upon with a 100 foot nerf bat
Abaddon needs a hard nerf
Twisted Helix Patriarch with Bio Alchemist WL Trait, Elixir of the Prime Specimen (assuming a biophagus is in the list so he gets both the 5+ fnp and 6's are 2 hits)
Shooting – None
Psychic 3MW is quite likely, with a free reroll from a Familiar, 2 casts and a decent selection of powers BUT it much more useful to use the Mass Hypnosis for ASL and -1 attacks on Abaddon plus use the Psionic Blast for D3 or flat 3 dmg.
Unfortunately, being S6 doesn't help the Patriarch
6 attacks, hitting on 2's no rerolls, but 6s are 2 hits means on average he gets 6 hits
5s to wound with a reroll means 3.3333 wounding hits, Ap is enough to put on his invun which means he is LIKELY, but not guaranteed to do the 3 wounds as the first one through will be negated and he is swinging at dmg 3/4
on average, patriarch probably inflicts 5 wounds to Abaddon
Abaddon then swings back with the talon and Horus and Drachnyen and I am not going to bother going through the stats because the Patriarch will die like a punk. T5, 7 wounds with a 4+ invun, and a 5+FNP, Abaddon is ideal for taking on the bug
2 wounds from Talon, 8 attacks from Draknyen (3s into 3s, 7 hits / 4 Wounds at dmg 3 each + 4MW, 2 saves > 10dmg before FNP, 7 wounds) 100% kill assuming the Patriarch has no cultists to throw under the bus
As a Death Guard player, this warmed the remains of my rotting soul 😀
I hate the "only 3 wounds per phase" rule, might as well be "plot armour: the rule"
