Editing Black Legion (section)

===8th edition===
With the changes of 8th, the Black Legion has become a bit more of a bland legion, becoming even more the [[Ultramarines]] of [[Chaos]]. Their Legion trait ''' ''Black Crusaders'' '''gives them a small bonus to leadership and the ability to treat rapid fire weapons as assault weapons if they advance, being a more aggressive mirror of the Ultramarines tactic. They've lost the ability to take [[Chosen]] or [[Terminators]] troop choices (even if [[Abaddon]] is taken) and their trait leaves much to be desired. They got a bunch of new things in [[Vigilus|Vigilus ablaze]], like new warlord traits and stratagems which has given them a nice bonus, but the other traitor legions also got their own update with the [[Psychic Awakening]] supplements. The primary reason to play Black Legion is for the big man himself, [[Abaddon]], as he is the single best non [[Primarch]] character in the game. PERIOD. He can re-roll all hit rolls for Black Legion units, has a 12" '''Fearless''' bubble around him, has a Strength and Toughness of 5, reduces all damage to him by half (rounding up) and has every Mark of Chaos, so can benefit from every God specific stratagem and psychic power so you can buff him to unbelievably strong levels. Most Black Legion strategies can be summed up as "[[Abaddon]] gets juiced on chaos magic, steam rolls through the enemy army, and has his back up dancers finish off any units he missed".
