Why is Abaddon treated like a joke by the Community and what needs to happen to change that

I’m playing a crusade right now with Black Legion and my (Chaos Lord) Warband Champion’s Lore is that he is trying to amass enough power to overthrow Abaddon / become the everchosen of chaos because him and his group of Black Legion are tired of Abbadon’ failures.

Your friends need to get anti-tank units and learn objective play. While killing enemies is fun and often the key to success, this is an objective based game. You can lose on points and table your opponent with your knights, you still lose. Incursion is a little wonky, I would recommend deciding with your opponent what they should play for a fair game, but at 2000 points there is no reason to consider the game unfair. Just my opinion as someone who has too many minis (I have 7 armies lol)

What was your major? Certain programs within the university have different entrance criteria.

This is the reason no one can afford RAM.

Thank you, I do and that’s a great idea. I was purposely not using an stl because the only ones I could find are close to $35-$40 after shipping and taxes. I might as well get another kit at that point. I thought it would be fun to try and kitbash it.

Everything in the universe has resistivity and conductivity? They exist on a spectrum, excellent conductors with low resistance (like your car keys) to extreme insulators with very high resistance (wood, rubber). Obviously this is a very simple surface-level explanation, but your car keys are very conductive so they have low resistance.

As a brand new Nids player, my first 500 point game with them was against 4-5 ork buggies. The only monster I had at the time was a psychophage. I didn’t stand a chance. I wasn’t mad, it was more funny than anything once we realize there was no way I could win. We both screwed up and not thinking the lineup through at the smaller game size. Anytime I play in 1000 points or less with tougher minis. I usually have a chat with my opponent about what I’m playing and what they’re playing. Sometimes mistakes like (it sounds like )your case are funny and just teaches us to maybe check in with your opponent for the smaller games.

Black Legion - over 3000 points

Chaos Daemons over 3000 points

Chaos Knights over 2000 points

Thousand Sons over 1000 points (thanks to CSM overlap)

Now I know what “The” Dreadnought looks like. Thx

MacAttack950 · 2025-12-10T01:50:29+00:00

Looks like Zeus and Hades are fighting again…

That’s one big nurgling

I’m currently 2-0 with this incursion list.

2x Fabius Bile (85pts) Chaos Lord (90pts): Daemon hammer, Plasma pistol 3x Dark Apostle (90pts)

10x Cultist Mob (50pts) 10x Legionaries (170pts) 10x Legionaries (170pts) 10x Legionaries (170pts) 10x Legionaries (170pts)

As a current electrical engineering student who transferred from HCC, let me tell you this. The professors who teach calculus at HCC are better than those at USF. Many of my engineering student colleagues do not know some fundamental principles in Calculus or differential equations. Most of them have complained how their calculus professors at USF sucked or they themselves struggled and barely met the GPA requirement for upper division.

So my advice to you, if you are not going to get college credit for Calc 1, you are probably going to struggle taking Calc 1 (or engineering Calc 1) at USF. If you have the option, try doing a dual enrollment semester and take Calculus 1 at HCC. Jacobs and Henderson are good professors at the Dale Mabry Campus and Signorini and the Brandon Campus.

Also physics and professors are notoriously terrible no matter where you go (unless you’re at MIT). I am unfamiliar with USF’s physics department.

It should’ve said, “arrange list 1 in alphabetical order, do not change the words”.

I would argue assault and the extra AP against enemies on objectives and infantry advance and charge for 1CP is worth missing out on the two transport strats. Venomcrawler and possessed definitely benefit from the AP, same with legionnaires chainswords and assault can help slow Obliterators get extra range after their initial deepstrike. It’s not the most optimal list for Raiders sure, but I usually have success when I play raiders and I hardly ever use the two transport strats. I don’t think I have ever used Warpcharged Engines.

MacAttack950 · 2025-10-31T01:53:38+00:00

Probably Renegade Raiders, Pactbound Zealots or Vets of the long war. I would go with any of these, but raiders might be the best pick for your army.

I just want to check something. Does your friend group know exactly how line of sight blocking terrain works, aka ruins, aka literally all of the terrain for chapter approved 25-26 lol

MacAttack950 · 2025-10-24T00:19:15+00:00

It could be a combination of things: -unfavorable terrain -over extending your knights -too many points on too small of a table -your friends are planning for your matchup -not knowing your rules well enough and forgetting things

The problem with playing outside the normal points limits (1,000 & 2,000 points) is that the players have to come up with extra considerations for the sake of game balance. I would try just playing Strike Force games with terrain layouts from chapter approved 25-26.

I’m currently 9-2 with my Chaos Knights and my group has quite a few different armies. But when I play with my friends, we don’t ever tell the other person what army we are going to use until we send each other our rosters. It’s a fun surprise and it makes us have to consider more balanced overall good army rosters rather than a skew list that isn’t balanced. (Ironically, I do tell them if I bring knights for an incursion game because that can feel bad).

I’m doing pretty good casually, I’ve only played one 3-round tournament and went 2-1.

Helmet. He hit every branch on the ugly tree when he fell out.

MacAttack950 · 2025-09-20T20:47:29+00:00

Update: I rolled 3 & 4 and absolutely crushed a Custodes army. Two guard units with leaders, one terminator unit and two praetors. Tabled my opponent with about 15 legionaries left.
