General Strike Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 In AoS we have a hyper elite black legion esque faction under their version of Abbadon, with each unit being a unit of essentially chaos lords. This got me thinking about the rumored new Abby model with new black legion terminators and chosen. If these rumors are true, could we be looking at Abby returning with a new micro faction inside the Black Legion, something like his chosen warriors, elite of the elite chaos lords?

Lord Marshal Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I doubt it. AoS was really created with the idea of having 264131163 mini-factions. As the years have gone on however, it's quickly become apparent that people really disliked this and as new armies have come out, they've been put out as quite large and complete forces (compare the number of Fyreslayer models, to Kharadrons, to Nighthaunt). The existing Death range was recently consolidated almost entirely under Legions of Nagash for another example. Everchosen and Slaves to Darkness will probably see similar treatment going forward. I could see there being some kind of special unit for The Chosen of Abbadon though. They pretty much fulfil the same job as Archaon's (*Eyeroll*) 'Varanguard' of being his most powerful Chaos Lords, each leaning towards a particularly Chaos God.

DarkApostle7 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Fluff wise there's a lot to work with, of course it would be good to get new termies and chosen but i think with the focus on individual gods and rumours of Slaanesh Abby might be the only new revamped model that isn't cult specific. There's always new formations though, for whatever that's worth...

battle captain corpus Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 You mean the Bringers of Despair? The terminators (some former Justarian) are known as this. They report solely to Abaddon and are the elite of the BL. Pretty sure Abaddon also doesn't need a retinue of Lords, not when he starts chaining attacks and letting out 14 attacks that kill most things on 2+ and 3+..... ;) BCC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348236-black-legion-the-everchosen/#findComment-5107004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadass Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I think we've seen everything GW has in store for 8th ed vanilla CSMs, apart from new models. Besides, I can't see how they'd make a super-elite Black Legion army work in the lore. The Warmaster has a noteworthy retinue in the Bringers of Despair and a couple of important chaos lords in the Chosen of Abaddon, but shoehorning in a whole special army seems a bit questionable.

General Strike Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 With the everchosen, at least for now, its just Archaon, his varangaurd, and a rando gaunt summoner. Then you can sprinkle other chaos in to fill the weak spots. But yeah, Bringers of Despair would be good, just super elite high wound special armor and ability terminators that act as Abbys retinue.
