Galron Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Easy one, is Abbadon now locked to Black Legion or can he be brought with other legions in 9th? Battlescribe has him locked Dr_Ruminahui 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366925-abbadon-locked-to-black-legion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluejayJunior Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The rules for army building are essentially the same as before. He can be in any CSM army, but he would break the legion traits for them.

Galron Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 So he is effectively locked. In 8th I don't think he broke the legion traits, just some of his abilities simply didn't effect the legion he was working with. I was wanting to make a big chaos lord in termy armor using Abby's rules for my NightLords but if he is locked now, then it kind becomes a moot point Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366925-abbadon-locked-to-black-legion/#findComment-5614807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluejayJunior Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 In 8th, unless he was in a solely Black Legion detachment, he would break Legion Traits for the detachment he was in. You only get Legion Traits if every unit in the detachment has the same Legion keyword. That works the same in both 8th and 9th. Some of the detachments have changed between 8th and 9th, but army building works almost the exact same way.

Galron Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 I could have sworn he had the same rule as G-Man and Shadowsun/Ghaz that they didn't break the traits but benefitted their own, but oh well. Ill use him for something I guess. Maybe a separate vanguard detachment for Black Legion in addition to my Nightlords detachment.

BluejayJunior Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Guilliman didn't have that rule either (Ghaz and Shadowsun ony got it in Psychic Awakening, I think), but Guilliman could be taken in a super heavy auxiliary detachment since he was a LoW, so it wouldn't break the detachment abilities of the rest of the army.

MegaVolt87 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 You could just take a patrol of BL with Abaddon for -2 CP and some BL stuff to back him up without breaking your main legion detachment.
