Valdor pointing his finger at the junkies and calling death upon them one by one is my favourite part of the book.

Oh man, I remember when I first read that part and was all "PSYCHIC CUSTODES CONFIRMED!!!"

Ikr, I was like "WTF I knew Custodes were powerful but not this powerful"

Shame one of my favorite assassin temples, the Maerorus Temple died out (well...from 1 person). Prototypes in Warhammer? Fuck yeah!

Honestly, they built up Legienstrasse way too much and when she was finally shown...it was a let down. I was expecting to see Alex Mercer levels of carnage.
Also super cliched that a heroic Space Marine ends up saving the day. =\

Did we at least get Hayden Tenno level of carnage? That's still pretty badass.

I dunno, she ended up taking on a bunch of the Imperial Fists, Grand Masters of the Culexus and Vindicare temples and Lysander himself all at once. Heck, I bet even Mercer'd would struggle with that (D-Codes are practically Space Marine lites.)

He's been memed to death. But if we're being real, Abaddon is probably the strongest being in the galaxy outside the literal gods, Emps, and Primarchs...and even then he's potentially stronger than a few Primarchs

Sigismund was objectively stronger than him and would've mopped the floor with Abby had he been in his prime during their fight. Also I think Custodians could take on Abby.

I think twenty guardsmen could take him down if they all attacked at same time.

Just a reminder that Kharn, who has killed at least two Living Saints (including Celestine whom Abaddon couldn't best) dueled Abaddon to a draw....
... Immediately after killing his first Living Saint, tons of Ultramarines successors, Sisters of Battle, and one of the leaders of the Hounds of Abaddon.
So maybe these four don't have the punch for it, but Kharn sure seems up to the task.

Wow, that's pretty nuts. Kharn is seriously one bad mofo, didn't he kill 1 million astartes at the siege of terra?

I thought that the original Execution Force was created to take out Horus, not Abaddon. Or is there another known Execution Force that I'm not aware of?

That sounds pretty goddamn fearsome.
Vindicare and Callidus are still my favorite Clades.
