He seems like to enjoy himself :)
Sigismund was saved via Plot Armor TWICE in the Siege!
What if I tell everyone they have to love to hate Anaddon? 🤔
Thank you Majorkill, I can't wait to use those cube thingos
Credit where credit's due that Abaddon never gave up and held the Black Legion together for 10,000 years compared to the Daemon Primarchs who chose to laze around at their personal Chaos worlds and do nothing.
Abaddon Staying Hungry.
I mean, Time is wonky in the Warp so it could have been shorter or longer
Abandon obeying his masters, cause he's a pussy.
Well, not quite. He did go into exile first and moped a bit before the legion sought him out and got him to man up again.
Psychologically wise he’s a winner, but purely on result? He’s a joke
Abaddon is both fucking up the imperium directly and helping it indirectly by somehow trigging a primarch return
Which makes the Traitor Primarchs return too
Fulgrim>>>>>>>>Guilliman and Old Lion

There is one certainty for Abaddon. "You will die as your weakling father died. Soulless. Honourless. Weeping. Ashamed." -Sigismund, the Emperor’s Champion
And where is Sigismund again ? Oh yeah, hanging out with Sanguinus.
Horus died with a massive smile though.

@@ghostviper9579can we get that in English?
Abaddon died fighting Sigismund. He was replaced by Omegon. Same thing happened when Sigismund defeated Paul McCartney.
Sigismund's real name is Billy Shears 😂 hes a perpetual 😂😂😂😂
That's a good one. Hunger Games said a lot.
Shame that Bruva Alfabusa's TTS show ended prematurely because Takahata101 would have a blast in voicing Abaddon when he and the Black Legion were about to go for a walk.
A very enthusiastic walk.
...hold on; really?! :O
I thought he only voiced Santodes?!
I will never forgive GamesWankshop for this.
Oh... now I am grieved
Hey Sigismund, hows ur health plan?
*Sigismund stabs him trough the chest*
APPARENTLY ITS GREAT
@@deptusmechanikus7362 Never forget, never forgive.
SPOILERS FOR HH/BLACK LEGION BOOKS:
I think whether or not Abaddon is a good character depends on who’s writing his lore/novels at the time. Any time he’s onscreen in an ADB book, he’s awesome. Everyone else tries to paint him as this mustache-twirling “classic” bad guy. ADB portrays him (as shown in the Black Legion books) as someone who knows only war and the bonds of brotherhood that are forged in battle, still trying to find a reason to live after losing everything. A lot of that could just be because we’re seeing him through Kayon’s eyes, though. In truth, I don’t think Abaddon wants to win the Long War. He would rather die fighting the Imperium than destroy it. He wants to die for something. He wants to go back to Terra to die there, like he should have with the rest of the Justaerin. Surrounded by the corpses of his battle-brothers among a sea of fallen enemies.
I think in Abaddon’s (and the other Astartes of the Ezekarion) eyes, all of the Traitor Legions should’ve died fighting on Terra, instead of running away. Kayon, Lheor, Abaddon and Telemachon all have one thing in common: They survived and fled when everyone else around them died with honor. Telemachon was part of Eidolon’s honor guard who got pissed on by Dorn and Sigismund. Kayon stumbled into an ambush and lost his entire company. Lheor’s plasma cannon exploded in his hands, and he was left in disgrace instead of fighting with his brothers. Abaddon got outplayed in the Saturine Gambit, but had never felt so alive as when he thought he was going out with a bang.
This makes it sad
What books would you recommend reading then?
@@jderpz23 The Black Legion books. There’s two of them. Also, the first Night Lords book shows how Abaddon deals with heretic Astartes who don’t bend the knee
Robert Rath did a really good job at writing him in The Fall of Cadia. He simultaneously humanized him quite a bit while still portraying him as a badass and terrifying Chaos Lord
He just doesn't want to be under the thumb of the imperium/wants to control his own fate and destiny. He offers the black legion the same, he is Nietzsche's uber mensch he wants to create his own laws and fate.
Abaddon: “Welcome, Lorgar! We have finally secured the MacGuffin!”
Lorgar: “Indeed!”
Corax: “Huzzah!”
Abaddon: “…DAMN IT! Why did father have to have so many loyalist brothers?!”
I love that Lorgar idea. With all these Demi-God level beings coming into the setting it hard to look at Abaddon as big as a threat.
But-but demon empowerment or something!
I prefer Erebus over Lorgar. I really like how certain mortals are held over their Primarch as better exemplars of their god and used to flagellate them. Kinda like a toxic boss and a "golden child" employee. Though I like the idea of Lorgar's charisma and understanding of chaos is enough to placate all the chaos gods as opposed to every one else raised as undivided having to play off the gods against each other.
Imagine Lorgar faces Guilliman and talks about how powerfull he has become. Then a Raven craws next to them and he shits the bed.
Lorgar would be too busy eating some Erebussy while Fulgrim would be pounding him up the Lorgass.
Lorgar would only last for a short time though, once the darkness started quoting Edgar Allen Poe and making raven sounds... It'd be game over for him.
I like Abaddon since the heresy books and especially siege of terra, I honestly think he was the least changed before and after the fall of his legion and love how he was getting sick of everything degrading around him, especially Horus.
I’m going thru the Siege of Terra books, I’m on end and the death pt1. And yeah I agree I really liked Abaddon cuz he feels like just a pure warrior and scoffs at all the demon and warp stuff. He wanted to win because he was a better warrior. Very cool
@ThanhNguyenTrung-kv4tt Remains to be seen. The point is he does think he can be better and he is not necessarily doing the same thing
Abaddon went from small-scale hit-and-run raids to massive invasions into the Imperium domains, striking from his safe-havens into the loop-holes of the Imperium outer-defense, despite inferior forces, increasing the bleeding on all fronts of a totally overextended Imperium in an eternal war of attrition.
Abaddon did an incredible feat increasingly bringing together, even temporarily, rival forces for a common goal, reviving the idea of fighting the Imperium for glory and loot, surviving the meatgrinder that is the Eye of Terror geopolitics and finding a way decisively weaken an opponent in the Imperium that is far stronger than him.
MajorKill just want to take a moment to thank you for making approachable, fun, digestible lore for 40k. Its gotten me really into the lore and books of 40k and I am definitely getting that case for my DnD minis. Keep being a top tier lad.
I agree. Leutin’s megarants are great but these shorter, beginner friendly(mostly) videos along with Wes’ shorts got me into 40k in the first place
Facts
He was kinda funny in the first few pre heresy books. I liked them chillin with the boys
Dropping this just after Isyander and Koda means i got double the Abadon lore in 2 days, yipppeeee
SUSPICIOUS
Abaddon wants to be a cool side character but is forced to have plot armor
He’s definitely not a perfect villain but a lot of people just hear memes about him and don’t give him an actual chance
600k Special idea:
You try saying the full name of a Custodis, including titles
At least 20 minutes of you trying to pronounce shit and failing, and a callback to your favorite faction
I think Perturabo will be the ultimate Warmaster of chaos
I hope so
That would be soo ass
I give him respect because he wants to do this himself and not have help from the gods, he wants to destroy the imperium as a man, a superhuman man, but "mortal" man with no divine assistance. It's respectable in my opinion.
Abaddon’s superpower is his unbreakable will. But he does it in a way that doesn’t ignore opportunity and advantage like *Dorn*.
Meme's aside, Abaddon is an absolute beast in melee.
In his first appearance he could one-shot Land Raiders and was in general one of the most scariest things on the battlefield.
When Majorkill was shaking the suit case everywhere, I though for a second he would hit his balls with it XD .
Wonder if he would have keep it in the video though XD .
Eyyy Lysander and Koda and Majorkill releasing Abbys lore back to back xD
Abaddon is, quite literally, a space satanic guerrilla warlord. You DO CAN write him as a badass multi dimensional character, even his inconsistencies, his life being in a different timeframe relatively to real space, his relationship with chaos while maintaining order enough to achieve his goals, I think he's the perfect antagonist to the empire. Writing a character like him to be generic and lame is diabolical
The talon of Horus and black legion novels really sell the despoiler in their goals I think the books make it clear a lot of the brutality and aesthetics are for intimidation and theatrical while he himself is pretty chill among his cabal
They have also. Retconned him to being more effective and making more sense. Now he's more his own made man now he's gotten cooler.
I love Abaddon and Loken. I’m truly looking forward to Abaddon brutally killing Erebus.
If Kharn isn’t the one who finally kills that douche missile I will be unhappy.
@@drunknnirishagreed I mean he already started by taking his hands
Abaddon and Kharn are gonna jump Erebus.
idea for smashing the case! bitchslapping it off the gaming table while it's open, I've lost two cases from hinge failure doing that.
Damn. I can see myself doing that
Superb video as always @majorkill.
Could you make a video dedicated to the Navigators, the major houses, their politics, relation to the overall Imperium and factions
Abandon is the perfect heel. He’s always just good enough to be a seriously threat but not good enough to have an outright victory.
He is there to be dangerous but ultimately lose but also always come back.
nobody ever has an outright victory; it's 40k
Because when he does anything he manages to wake up a primarch
@@FrenkieWest32 exactly
@@evilpotatobeanenjoyer894I would rather call it "Sends Imperium into so bad situationthey need to dust off Mcguffin"
@@evilpotatobeanenjoyer894Everyone forgets that Abaddon also brought back Angron (who can now roam freely due to the Eye of Terror opening wider) and forged an alliance with what is basically a minor Chaos God, Vashtorr
Having just finished The Fall of Cadia audiobook, this dive into abadon (who I only just read about for the first time) is so perfectly deliciously timed 🤘🤘🤘
What if instead of Abadon the despoiler, he was Abadon the gooner and he just edged the whole time and busted all over Fabius bile- can we get that as a video
Shut
Freakmarines 👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅
He's pretty much already doing that
Abaddon the freakspoiler
Cringe
Lets learn about failbaddon and his many succeses
Shitty meme is shitty
Hope to see the cases come back again, I’m broke right now but my brother in law needs a good carry case
It would be sooooop cool to see a video about the spirit of eternity
Yoo I was searching about abbadon 10 minutes ago, what timing!
I’ve come to appreciate Abaddon more. I only wish his rise post-Heresy was a little more developed and tumultuous. It could’ve been a great character moment for him, disgraced and surrounded by former allies who now hated him and his Legion, forcing him to accept his shortcomings and use cunning to climb back to the top. Having him overcome self-doubt, dishonor, and the limitations of his warrior-centric mindset could’ve made him a more compelling antagonist.
I'm reading false gods after hours rising and it really throws me off seeing A loyalist abandon after watching 40k lore on RUclips e for years.
Yet another time I request a video about Iskandar Khayon.
Guys and gals, today we find out whether or not he is Abadon The Despoiler or Failbadon The hArmless.
that case is pretty bad ass. awesome work.
BBEG of 40K replacements for abaddon… Erebus, pursuing ascension to Dark King after juking Abaddon, Huron, Vashtor, the Daemon Primarchs, and lording it over them as the greatest blight on the galaxy (staying on brand becoming a scorpion-like Daemon Prince along the way). Would that not be on brand that the biggest prick in warhammer lie cheated stole and exploited his way to the very top as everyone curses to themselves how they should’ve given him the many slow deaths he deserved. Then we get to the big question: who if anyone finally gets to put Erebus down?
Lorgar seems right. I mean it should be Chaos
@@RMCbreezy could see that but if it’s gonna be chaos I’d wanna give it to Kharn. I need to see round 2 with 10,000 years of hatred and vengeance pay off, hell I could see Kharn taking advantage of some plot or other loyalists do to get Erebus into the pariah nexus or similar zone just to tell him in the coldest hateful sentence ever: “Sanguis Extremis… you fled… No More… your blood belongs to ME!” Is Kharn surviving? Probably not, but damn if we won’t be cheering him on
@@HelioSolaran hard part would be getting kharn there without the chance for some major bloodshed there and along the way
i like aspects of Abbadon, like his refusal to give up his free will and his stubborn determination
but i think he couldve been handled a lot better
My friend 600 k is getting closer i am so happy for you ive never ever played a Warhammer game never bought something that has to do with Warhammer but you are my favorite warhammrr RUclipsr ever you make it fun you put in some jokes and the aussie accent makes it even better you make awsome videos keep doing great thing 💪💪💪😁
We need a video on ork vehicles.
Personally i like to keep my minis all mixed up in a large stained pillow case, but each to their own i guess
A video on if magnus took the emperors replacement legion please
A video on the imperial palace would be cool! Size/location/secret areas/notable areas/ where parts of the siege occurred
There was a scene in one of the books where Malcador talket about the time he told the Big E to make primarchs into girls instead of boys thinking they would get along better. So there's a good idea for a video what if the Primarchs were girls instead of boys.
I second that
We already have a faction like that - the Drukhari.
@@whenpigsfly8178Hö? That totally makes no sense Dude.
….have you seen the relationships of girls/young women. Manipulative af. Making them male was the batter choice
Yes please, make a video about this what if scenario.
A video of How each legion treated their serfs please.
I think hes a great villain and i really liked him in "The Talon of Horus"
Love the videos as always.
Abbadon is the sauron of the 40k
Watching this out of my goon cave.
💀
He's the reason I got into Warhammer and played Black Legion..
I may not always get to enjoy having 40k explained to me by a cursing Aussie but when I do I always enjoy it.
Abbadon: "I know the 13th Black Crusade came to nothing. But for the 14th I have a really good feeling."
"Top-knot" content, good one.
I love Abaddon because his mini looks dope, and I did a really good job painting him. 😎
Never saw abbadon as a bad guy...just a really well written character
Wild how this comes after Isyander and Koda
Thank you for your contest by the way :D
Because of your case it really annoys me that i don t have tabletop minis :D so i need to start bild up my army soon
That case is pretty cool! I have some questions about it…….. but 1) I’ll wait until I check it out on your website and 2) I feel like if I ask any of the main ones most people will act like it’s just a attack!?!
Besides that, I really like Abaddon’s model!!! It is (in my opinion) by far the only awesome model of Chaos that isn’t from Nergal!!! I don’t have a Chaos Army!?! But I do have Abaddon! And he was definitely my first bigger model that I couldn’t believe how great he came out after I was done painting it! But regardless how I feel about him and the minis that go with him, that was a cool story!!! So thanks again
The great crusade series makes me really like Abaddon he has a few cheesy 40k Abaddon moments but other than that he's a very well written character in those books especially the siege of tera
I actually really like Abaddon and the Black Legion. I kind of see them as this rebellion that uses dark powers in its revolution against the Imperium. I actually find it interesting that the face of Chaos isn't even a massive simp for the Gods, but someone who thinks they can both take over the imperium and play the chaos gods at the same time.
But like you said, I really think the daemon primarchs need to come back to take charge again. Especially Lorgar with the Word Bearers as they are the biggest Chaos God simps.
Id recommend the use of magnets on the case you guys made for maximum security
I really want Corvus to come back. He's overdue. Plus, he's a bird-demon demigod now, which is a super cool power the imperium would have to adjust to.
As for Failbaddon the harmless, he's just a tool. After all, chaos cares not from whence the blood flows, only that it does. And he seems all too eager to throw all his brothers to the slaughter just to sate his own ego and jealousy.
If you play Admech you need around 12 suitcases like that :D
Well fucking done Majorkill! this was a fantasic video on my main man.
He didnt slay sigusmand he literally fought him til old age caught up with him
The main problem with chaos in a lot of cases is their predictability mainly of a story tackles the 4 gods as you already know their main goals nurgle plague slaanesh nsfw khorn blood and battle and tzeench you have no idea which is the main goal of tzeench
Tzeentch's goal is fucking over the other three whist also fucking over himself so he can plan ways to unfuck over himself
Very interesting video. I like your idear of Abaddon forming short ter uneasy alliences with loyalist elements of the Imperium to defeat a common enemy. Chaos space marines trying to show their loyalist counterparts how it's done would be quite a scene to behold. It's been 10 thousand years since the Horus Heresy. Sometimes humanity has to stick together. Just like Eldar have a better shot at saving their species with help from the Drukari so too should the Imperium cooperate with human elements from outside of its influence. From guadsmen to astartes to titans and knights standing side by side with their chaos counterparts , they could be fighting against an enemy ready to level them both.
Abaddon is the incarnation of one step forward then two steps back lol
He's done a lot for someone who doesn't have arms
Abaddon has everything to be a good main villain but gets fucked over by favoritism
Already ordered my case 😁 along with the Death Rider Napoleon because it's just too cool
Lorgar coming back means Corax comes back so YES!
I don’t dislike Abaddon but I like Kharn better because of two simple words “Get up”.
Was Abbadon a "little Horus"? Weren't quite a few luna wolfs known for looking like Horus?
It's also amazing how he did all of this without arms
Abbadon already had the talon prior to fighting the horus clone
Day 30: What if Omegon returned to the setting. What would happen?, how would Guilliman and The Lion react?. Would be a pretty cool video idea.
Day 75 of asking for a dedicated series of videos detailing in depth the Lion El'Heresy
Fathers and sons, brothers killing brothers across the stars while the rest of the Galaxy Burns. Humanity's Greatest Epic Tragedy.
Taking a look at what’s going on the setting during our modern day might be kinda cool.
It would be really cool for him to become some kind of anti-hero. The Talon of Horus, story where he goes all gold eyes after absorbing the astronomicon avatar and his disillusionment after the ambush at the Saturnine gate point to this
Maybe they can write him as a buddy or self-serving ally of Vashtor. The interplay of scheming, both having different goals, but having common threats including the Chaos Gods, could actually make him interesting.
Beautiful carrie case
Abbadon was the stern straight man to Vashtorr's sleazy schemer, and it worked well. Ab is good when contrasts a more wily companion like Vashtorr or Khayon. Make it a gimmick that Abbadon is always the sanest guy in the room.
You should do a video on Kayon the sorcerer
Don’t forget, Valdor was already exhausted and wounded when he and Abbadon fought. Plus Erebus aided Abbadon in that fight.
That and the clone Horus let itself get killed by Abbadon
Also, he took an L from Loken and SHOULD’VE taken an L from an old, out of his prime Sigismund.
This isn’t true. I wouldn’t try and make it seem like abaddon is weak and his opponents sucked. Valdor kicked the justaerins ass after they butchered the custodes and Erebus powered up abaddon but not to a crazy extent. The clone of Horus did not let itself killed, in the book he pauses to remember abaddon then he gets suprise attacked with the talon. He was at full physical strength
@@mikecarusone I read talon of Horus, and it made it very clear it did not even try to fight Abbadon and took satisfaction in letting itself be killed, after it had already beaten the crap out of everyone else.
Abbadon was powered up tremendously though chaos and Erebus and the two of them used warp shenanigans against a wounded and tired Valdor
Classic formula "x character was tired or weak that why he y
@@clydedoris5002 But it is true. Valdor wasn’t at 100% while Abbadon was in better shape and chaos juiced.
I would love to see a chaos civil war between the black legion and the Red Corsairs for the title of supreme war master.
This dude should just be a placeholder until some real badass take the position
Abaddon is the real badass

@@VanderWallStronghold98 Irrelevantloser that hasn't done anything of note
@vanderwallstronghold8905 yeah but Gamesworkshop won't go through with that until it's guaranteed to bring money.
Despite what he seems, Vashtorr is just likely to obliterate Abaddon once he ascends into a new chaos god.
RUclips has stopped showing me your videos in my feed, even though I have notifications enabled. If I want to see your videos I have to search for your channel now.
I cant speak much fkr 40k abbadon, but as a loyalist he was awesome.
Carrry case bought, great success
Jealous
Video starts at 2:30.
Kid:Mom i want Horus.
Mom:We have Horus at home
Horus at Home=Abbadon.
A cheap,discount version of Horus.
So Abaddon is basically Tarn and Horus is Megatron. It all makes sense now.🤔😧😀😃😄
Abadon is like Sauron but he has to handle the entire army of his former master and all the enemies of his former master.
