Abbadon can be used by anyone now (which makes since, he is the Warmaster after all, and when he tells the CSM to do something, they LISTEN), and any special character can be used by any legion. Hmmm, Abbadon + Imperials = lots of nasty CC death for the loyalists! I played a battle yesterday, and he cut down a 5 man assualt marine squad and 5 assault terminators without blinking. Hmmm, I need the Betrayer too.

Ahhh.. Actually fluff dictates Abbadon has to beg and bribe the other Legions to even help in his Black Crusades... HE's rather like the homeless bum on the corner "C'mon guys.. Just one more Black Crusade?)

Is he any good at all for shooting? He does have a Plasma pistol, so I'm guessing he can do some damage.

Check out the Apoc datasheets on the GW site. Basically Kharn or a Khorne lord and 3+ squads of zerkers gain the Fleet rule.

I'm impressed. My girlfriend has actually been reading her fluff and rule books, and she's already assembled her 5-man squad. Last night I bought her a Daemon Prince, which we'll probably put together tomorrow. Now she's craving more units to build.

I suggested to her that her second HQ slot should probably be a Terminator Lord. They seem pretty badass stats-wise, as well as the model itself.

Oh, and by the way, does anyone have any advice on whether Havocs are good to take or not? And how many of each heavy weapon does a box set come with?

She doesn't have the Internet, but when she's over my place tomorrow she might sign up (I told her earlier she should).

Essentially every question I ask about Chaos is from her.

I'd suggest against a lord.. Take a sorcerer in termie armor. OR a sorcerer on a mount/wings, etc... Slaanesh sorcerer, actually. The gameplay power of a speed oriented lord able to move other units INTO the line of fire is not to be under estimated in a shooty army.

Really? The Lord seems better than the sorcerer, since he's 10 points cheaper (base cost), has Fearless, and has slightly better characteristics.

Her Daemon Prince has Warptime+Doombolt, so what would you suggest for the Sorcerer?

HEre is why you take a sorcerer...

Give him mark of slaanesh.. HE can then use the 'lash of submission'

This power allows you to MOVE other units wherever YOU want..

See that cunningly concealed command platoon hiding in the bushes? Well you lord can fly/slither over there w/ whatever speed enhancing gift, and then just cast the power, move them out of their cover and into the open where they suffer a withering hail of fire.

Basically, lash lets you set units up to be decimated. And in a static firing army liek tzeentch is... It is a necessity, imho.
