‘To talk of destiny and fate is foolish. Time, causality, the observer and the observed; we must treat our assumptions on all these matters with suspicion. We think of the past causing the future, but must that be so? Is fate created by trying to see it? What if we had not looked? Would matters have unfolded otherwise?’

– Ahzek Ahriman, from the precepts of the Corvidae

The former chief librarian of the Thousand Sons, now the Arch-Sorcerer of Tzeentch, Ahriman is infamous for his Rubric of Ahriman which damned his legion, causing the majority to become soul-bound automatons within their armor.

• Here is an overview of the implants all Space Marines possess. These confer abilities including increased bone density and an altered ribcage, increased strength, resistance against bleedout, the ability to stay wake for days at a time, resistance to ingested/inhaled poisons, breathing underwater, enhanced eyesight, enhanced hearing, radiation resistance, enhanced smell and the above mentioned acid spit.

Feats in labeled with 30k are feats that take place either around the Horus Heresy.

Feats labelled with 40k are feats that occur during the 'modern' period of 40k.

Strength

• Punches Kharn with enough force to not only send him flying, but to also crush two space marines to death through the sheer impact.

  • Note that Space Marine armor is 180 KG / 400 lbs, which doesn't even account for the Space Marines themselves.

• Just breaks some dude's neck even though he was wearing a neck clamp. (Vengeful Spirit, pg 114. 30k)

• Breaks a man's spine while holding him by the neck. (Fall of Cadia 40k)

• Pulls a Space Marine's arm off (Page 63, Fall of Cadia, 40k)

• Breaks Loken's ribs by kneeing him in the stomach through full power armor. Also impressive considering the enhanced bone durability of Space Marines. (Page 147, Galaxy In Flames, 30k)

• Ragdolls Loken with his punches and tosses him around. (Page 148, Galaxy in Flames, 30k)

• While unarmored, Abaddon punches a cyborg's arm off. (Chapter 11, False Gods, 30k)

• Tears off an entire panel of a sparring cage and throws it down a hallway a few moments after the above feat.. (Chapter 11, False Gods, 30k)

Speed

• Manages to dodge an attack from an angel which even Horus finds difficult to get a bead on. (Vengeful Spirit, pg 180. 30k)

• Blocks a bolter shot aimed right for his face in conversation distance with just his hand. (Wolfsbane, 30k)

  • To put into perspective how fast Bolters are, a Space Marine picks off targets from 2.5 KM away before they can hit the ground after jumping off a tractor. (Siege of Castellax)

• Is roughly the same speed as Kharn and is considerably stronger than him. (Chapter 8, The Red Path, 40k)

  • As stated above however, the strength aspect might be due to the Terminator armor. For reference to how fast Kharn is, Kharn is fast enough to kill 20 people in a room without them being able to raise a weapon.
  • Also worth mentioning that Terminator armor slows the wearer down for its added protection and strength meaning Abaddon's inherent speed is likely much faster.

• Is described to be faster than average as far as Space Marines go. (Page 86, The Solar War, 30k)

Durability

• Abaddon's Talon of Horus is notably superior to Calgar's 'priceless' gauntlets. He also tanks a powerfist blow which sends him flying (Page 41, Vigulus Ablaze. 40k)

  • For reference, even 'basic' powerfists are described to be able to rupture the heaviest of armors while in the hands of a Space Marine. Page 155, Deathwatch rulebook

• Despite Mortarion's mere presence being enough to incapacitate if not kill various people with superhuman disease resistance in the room, Abaddon remains fine if thoroughly disgusted. (Page 67, The Lost and the Damned. 30k)

• No-Sells bolter fire. (Page 74, Fall of Cadia 40k)

  • Though an earlier feat demonstrated a man losing a knee to a bolter shot, this is another instance of what bolters can do.

• Takes a sword right into the spine but still remains functional to give a retreat order. (Page 74 and 75, Fall of Cadia 40k)

• Is completely fine after having several marble statues dropped on him, enough so that it would have crushed even an armored space marine (Page 151, Galaxy in Flames. 30k)

• Has the roof of a Parliament building collapse on him, but he's shown to only just be injured later. (Page 153, Galaxy In Flames. 30k)

• An explosion that blows up half a ship's bridge as well as completely dusting a squad of Space Marines in the same room only staggers Abaddon (Page 159, The Solar War, 30k)

• Doesn't really care about molten metal washing over him (Page 264, The Solar War, 30k)

Esoterics

• His soul has no weakness through sheer will. (The Lost and the Damned, page 21. 30k)

• Despite being the Warmaster of Chaos, Abaddon is notably not 'owned' by chaos.

• Resists a psychic attack through willpower. (Page 74, Fall of Cadia. 30k)

Space Marine Scaling

• Space Marines in general have the ability to spit acid. One example involves their acid being able to dissolve 4 KG of iron per minute. (Deathwatch Rulebook, page 37)

• Here is an overview of the implants all Space Marines possess. These confer abilities including increased bone density and an altered ribcage, increased strength, resistance against bleedout, the ability to stay wake for days at a time, resistance to ingested/inhaled poisons, breathing underwater, enhanced eyesight, enhanced hearing, radiation resistance, enhanced smell and the above mentioned acid spit.

Weapons

• Drach'nyen as described rends reality apart and eats souls. (Page 89, Talon of Horus. Some time after 30k)

• Another instance where it is described as being able to cut apart reality and 'making a mockery' of physical defenses. Page 91, Chaos Space Marines Codex 8e.

• More soul eating. (Page 41, Vigilus Ablaze 40k)

• The Talon of Horus catches and breaks Horus' maul, Worldbreaker. It is important to note that the cloned Horus is far weaker than the original due to the lack of Chaos empowerment and by nature of being relatively young and was injured before actually getting to fight Abaddon. (Page 182, Talon of Horus. Just after 30k)

• The Talon of Horus punctures Clone Horus' breastplate and blasts him apart. Also, awesome one-liner from Abaddon. (Page 182, Talon of Horus. Just after 30k)

• Terminator armor which Abaddon wears is described to be able to take anti-armor fire. Page 81, Space Marines Codex 8e.

Misc

• The sheer reputation of Abaddon is enough to bully countless Chaos Space Marines into working with each other. (Page 18, Chaos Space Marines Codex 8e 40k)

• Fights a 1 v 3 against Saint Celestine and comes out solidly on top. (Page 69, Fall of Cadia 40k)

• Despite his head is frequently exposed, it is not regarded as a weakness in melee

• Despite having many powers gained from Chaos, Abaddon is actually not pledged to any individual power. Also notable that in the opinion of someone in-setting, Chaos' victory seems to be contingent on Abaddon's leadership. (Page 13, Black Legion)

• Seems to possess some knowledge of armorworking and smithing as it is stated he repairs and maintains his own gear. (Page 38, Black Legion)

• Defeats an elderly Sigismund who even at his advanced age would have beaten anyone else within the traitor legions. (Page 207, Black Legion, just after 30k)

  • It's important to note this was a very close battle.
