    Characters and lore like this falling by the wayside really does feel to me like a side effect of how much space the Horus Heresy has taken up in the lore and fandom recently. Things like this interest me a lot more these days. It'd be cool to see Zhufor and some of the other Vraks stuff return in plastic, they're all really cool!

    In old days, when I collected, I kitbashed my own Zhufor the Impaler out of Termo-Lord and some spiky bits. I was always fascinated, how Zhufor was a high-functioning example of a World Eater. Yes, he chopped off heads and took names, but he was skilled at inter-Chaos politics and organized CSM Warbands on Vraks into coherent fighting force. #ZhuforForWarmaster

    • @flatheadgg2443

      True but let's not forget he caused the very problem that set the forces of chaos on the back foot in the first place by pissing off arkos and murdering all the vracksian commanders which caused the line to desintegrate within days and ultimately cost him the war.
      Still a better general than failbaddon tho.

    While on the Chaos train, I reckon you should give the Crimson Slaughter and Blood Gorgons warbands a look over.
    The Crimson Slaughter are referenced numerous times in codexes (codices?) and novels, and even had a starter set facing off against Dark Angels. Some models even still display their colours on the webstore.
    The Blood Gorgons go a tad harder into novels and were the face of CSM codexes from 6th to 8th edition. A tangent, but my GM did a fantastic job running them in a Wrath and Glory game.

    Tho they are kinda not so much aligned to the Black Legion, Abaddon does count with his own let's say succersor warbands whose leaders form the council known as the Chosen of Abaddon, you have:
    - The Children of Torment, led by Devram Korda Lord Purgator of the Black Legion and perhaps the only chaos space marine able to go head to head against Lucius, devoted to Slaanesh as they are a part of the entire Emperor's Children legion who swore loyalty to Devram.
    - Hounds of Abaddon which are his Khornaite Berserkers, led by the Lord Ravager Threxos Hellbreed.
    - The Sons of the Cyclops, devotees of Tzeentch led by the Lord Deciever Ygethmor the Deceiver.
    - The Bringers of Decay led by the Lord Corruptor Skyrak Slaughterborn who are worshippers of nurgle.
    So this is a way that Abaddon uses to not only be chaos undivided but also please the individual gods themselves.

I only ever was interested in 40k for its deep lore, many books, rich setting ripe for homebrew role-playing with its enormous size, dystopian dark fantasy scifi setting with no hero's, only bad guys.. My favorite part of warhammer 40k has always been when the civilian life background intersect and is brought into focus by the book writers. My favorite "faction" is normal humans and how they endure this universe..
    Any book with a human point of view character is 100 times more readable and relatable IMO.
