Abbadon - Say what you will about the warmaster, he will never bend the knee to the gods of Chaos, no matter how many gifts they throw at him.

[@lesterramos6468]

Exactly. He may not have won his Black Crusades, but he always got something of value from each one, from Drach'nyen to Cadia getting wrecked.

[@infidelheretic923]

What would constitute winning? Total destruction of the imperium? The goal is too big to be accomplished all at once. Their best shot at that died along with Horus. But if they destroy it piece by piece they have a far better chance of achieving that.

[@battaglino77]

@@lesterramos6468 Technically his Black Crusades were successful. Each one had a clear objective that lead into the next campaign, and now he's been able to destroy Cadia on his most recent campaign. It's only a matter of time before he moves toward Terra.

[@DoomTrooper90]

Fun Fact - that woman is Moriana. One of the very first Inquisitors for the Imperium after the Horus Heresy. She tried to resurrect the Emperor using the Forces of Chaos (yeah, she wasn't particularly sane), and (to the surprise of no one but her) got branded as *Hereticus Diabolus Extremis*. She fled and became a favored servant of the Chaos Gods. In some ways, she's even more powerful than Abaddon despite the fact that she has no power armour. She isn't kidding when she mocks Abaddon for his threats to her - she legitimately can fuck his shit up if she wanted. Her faction within the Inquisition was - and is - known as the Horusians, a bunch of Radical Inquisitors who are trying to do what she tried and failed to do. As they say, the Imperium's worst enemy is - more often than not - *itself*.

[@doomgoon8933]

​​​@@Spartan135Chaos is the opposite of Order. That's why the Imperium is sometimes seen as "fascist" and oppressive, it is imposed Order at whatever cost, through whatever mean. To those who stand for it, it is good; to those who don't, it is something to rebel against even if they can't actually propose a significantly preferable, long-term alternative solution. The fact that those who fell to chaos are often inherently evil BUT NOT ALWAYS, is telling: many of them have a respectable if not shareable motive for doing so - at least from their perspective. Angron; Magnus; Alpharius; Perturabo; hell, even Horus and Fulgrim became total assholes only once the corruption flourished inside of them. Very few of them are like cartoonish villains that want to "conquer the world to do what? To destroy it!". Some of them revel in total chaos to indulge in their sadistic or egotistical, maniacal proclivities. But most of them don't. It's a Chaos vs. Order story, not a Evil vs. Good one. That's why we can see nuances of both in both sides. :)

Abaddon is about the only chaos marine with some complexity. Iron willed, and defiant of even the chaos powers. I remember one passage in some book when Horus was still kickin around but had started to take on demons on their ships and how Abaddon hated dealing with them, one of them tried to compel Abaddon to kneel but he fought against it and never did.

They were known to the ancient Eldar as the Talismans of Vaul. To capitalise on the C'tan's vulnerability to warp attacks the Fortresses were equipped with a Warp Cannon that could create a devastating rip in space and an eruption of energy out of the Immaterium, powerful enough to destroy entire star systems."

@@stephenbyrne2170 One of them is used to find them and the other is used to control them. They have some kind of powerful warp based weapon capable of destroying planets. At one point in the Gothic war Abaddon used all three of them to destroy a star.

@@stephenbyrne2170 The “citadels”. Which does seem a bit redundant if he already has a planet destroying ship admittedly. Plus you don’t need to destroy the WHOLE planet. Just the surface and 40K has an entire arsenal of things that can do that, but whatever this is a war universe and we like things big and menacing.

What are these so called "Fortresses In The Stars"?

[@neon-lake]

Ancient super weapon space stations, the black stone fortresses. Likely built by the old ones to amplify the warp and harness it's power as a weapon.

[@stephenbyrne3909]

@@neon-lake Then, wouldn't their power be enough for Abaddon to control the citadels? I mean, what does he need or want The Hand Of Darkness, and The Eye Of Night anyway?
