Editing Abaddon (section)

===[[Battlefleet Gothic]]===
Rules for Abaddon were included in the ''Armada'' expansion for [[Battlefleet Gothic]], along with his flagship, (or rather, ex-flagship. He's probably built a new one since he [[FAIL|''somehow'' let the last one get destroyed]]) the '''Planet Killer'''. [[Crunch]]-wise, he's pretty good, and the planet killer is [[Exterminatus|excellent]]. However, there is the problem of him costing 195 points, which is [[Games_Workshop|overpriced]]. He gives his ship Ld10, one Ld test re-roll per turn for his fleet, and a bunch of special rules, including one that makes his ship more difficult to be crippled by hit-and-run attacks, like [[Horus|having your enemy teleporting into it when the shields are down]]. His ship [[rape|doubles]] its strength in boarding actions. Also he can become [[Angry_Marines|angry]] if his side fails a leadership check, [[Commissar|firing his own guns on the ship that failed it]], [[Khorne|which pleases Him]]. His ship has loads of [[dakka]] (though still not enough, obviously). It also has the [[Exterminatus|Armageddon Gun]], which has a special rule that lets it destroy planets as if the planet killer was an exterminator ship, only better. Also, [[Anal_Circumference|the Armageddon Gun, designed to destroy planets, can be fired on things as small as enemy ships]]. It cost 505 points, so fielding both Abaddon and his prized possession costs you 700 points, which is still less than ''one'' Blackstone Fortress, which ought to give some indication as to why he wanted to get those so much in the first place.

[[Fluff]]-wise, Abaddon's Twelfth Black Crusade involved [[Battlefleet_Gothic|him invading the Gothic sector]], capturing three out of six Blackstone Fortresses and firing their warp cannons at the same time in order to [[Exterminatus|destroy the entire Tarantis star]], [[Grimdark|killing pretty much everyone in the system]]. He then, in true Abaddon style, [[FAIL|managed to get his flagship blown up]] (by long-range torpedoes from imperial lunar-class cruisers), and then [[Not as Planned|lost the gothic war]]. He ran back to the Eye of Terror, built a new planet killer, and launched his Thirteenth black crusade.

The rest, as they say, is(n't) history.
