Why? Do I get a free champion?

I'd prefer them all @10 strong, but there is just no points..

Really? He costs 100pts more than those Terms.. I dunno, have you used him?

there is no reason to use the chosen number anymore you dont get the free champ any more.

Drop the 'zerkers to 8 strong and throw them in the LR with Abaddon. Massive killing capacity! Playtested to work.

Brian and I were talking about this the other day for his chaos list. He costs more and there's a small possibility his daemon weapon will screw him over. Even then it's still an issue of preference.

I would take him over the Terminators. The guy is a beast. I haven't crunched the numbers, but I'm pretty sure he's more durable than 5 Terminators. I know he's better than 4.

He can't do as much shooting damage, but then the Terminators aren't exactly a legion of railguns either.

He's going to stomp everything but the nightbringer in close combat, and a lot of those things would eat the termies for breakfast.

And even if Abaddon's Daemon weapon fails him, with a unit of 'zerker bodyguard accompanying him, they can pick up the slack.

Again playtested to work!

The man has got a topknot hair-do, Thats why you take him. The ability to slap down avything else in the game (up to and including himself) is only a plus. I've seen abbadon lay waste to whole armies, and slap Hive tyrants and Avatars. Point is he is badiass enough to wear a topknot and have no one laugh at him.

..well, ok then. I'll give him a crack next game.

Until Zogwart turns him into a squig.... lol!
