Wielding the Talon of Horus and the daemon sword Drach’nyen, he has spent 10,000 years plotting and battling with the sole goal of doing what Horus could not and seeing the Imperium crushed. When Horus fell to the Emperor in their climactic battle above Terra, Abaddon fled into the warp to continue the fight of the Long War against the Imperium. It’s a cool setup for the Warmaster’s headspace as he figures out his next steps.Ĭredit: Robert “TheChirurgeon” Jones AbaddonĪbaddon the Despoiler was once the First Captain of the Luna Wolves, the legion of Warmaster Horus Lupercal. Rob: There’s a really cool bit of lore in here that talks about the difficulty actually leading the chaos legions, with Abaddon musing about the difficulty of managing a bunch of disparate warbands. Arks of Omen: Abaddon takes off shortly after the results of the Vigilus campaign as the Despoiler seeks out his next step in the defeat of the Imperium. The section briefly synopsizes the lore of the first book, and we’ll do our best to avoid major spoilers, though it’s worth noting that Arks of Omen: Abaddon is relatively light on the revelations and major developments. The Arks of Omen series appear ready to bring about a massive change in the lore of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, similar to how the Gathering Storm Campaign and Abaddon’s 13th Black Crusade resulted in the creation of the Great Rift and return of the Primarch Roboute Guilliman.īefore we dive in, we’d like to thank Games Workshop for providing us with a preview copy for review purposes. The first three titles are Abaddon, Angron, and Vashtorr, and the fourth book is not named but according to GW “will be a distinctly xenos affair”. The series consists of at least four books, but as specified in the Warhammer Community reveal there are likely more. The rules section covers Boarding Actions, a Patrol-scale alternative means of playing 40k. The lore section focuses on the machinations of Abaddon the Despoiler and the force of Chaos as they continue the Long War against the Imperium of Man. The contents serve as a supplement to the Warhammer 40k 9th Edition Core Book and consist of a lore section and a rules section. Arks of Omen: Abaddon is the first of several books to be released by Games Workshop to serve as a galaxy-spanning series of narrative campaign books.
