Rain Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 The formation you are talking about IronWinds already exists and is called the Chaos Conclave. It consists of a special char and any amount of other Chaos HQ choices along for the ride. If I remember correctly it makes every member of the conclave count as a disruption beacon and does something else too, can't remember too well as I've only used it once and about a year ago. Anyway, yes, those were the chosen of Abaddon and are more the arbiters of his will than his bodyguards, his bodyguards are indeed terminators as the short story in the 3.5 codex that details Abaddon watching a planet being destroyed mentioned how one of his terminator guards powered up his lightning claws when he sensed that Abe got annoyed. Plus is just makes sense that he be guarded by termies as he was the leader of the Sons of Horus elite terminators pre-heresy.

IronWinds Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I was never trying to pass them as his bodyguards. I just thought it would be cool to have all 5 together. And I know what a Conclave is, I've fielded one. With conclaves you have to have a terminator or chosen squad for each character you take. And they don't have to be together, they can be all across the board. I was talking about putting all 5 in LR as one super squad. Totally different concept. Of course you could run it as a conclave to get the free orbital bombardments.

Gerrick Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I like running Lords of the Black Crusade. Abbadon and 4 Chaos Lords in Terminator Armor with each mark and thier Daemon weapon, 10 Tzeentch terminators. Good times, good times.

Magnus Thane Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Well i plan to field Abby once i get my hands on him (and merge him with the Chaos Termie Lord kit so he no longer is a dwarf) with a team of Termies. (possibly Champs with Icon of Chaos Glory or Khorne) and dump them in a LR. Nice and fluffy for my BL force, though i'm not sure how good he'll perform. Should be fun though.
