There’s another rumor going around about Abaddon, but this time they’re bringing in the bodyguards. Come find out the latest on Abaddon and his Bringers of Despair.
The rumor mill is officially up and running and we’re seeing another rumor about the return of Abaddon. Let’s take a look at the latest rumor about Abaddon and the Bringers of Despair that was spotted recently.
This is a rumor so make sure you add a plenty of salt, and by salt we mean is it:
via anonymous sources on Faeit
We had talked about Black Legion, and how I was bummed about losing some of the special units from their supplement.
He said Bringers of Despair are coming back this summer. WS 2, BS 2 Terminators who can tank wounds for Abaddon. He told me there’s more on the way but wasn’t specific.
The latest rumor is stating that the Bringers of Despair will be making their way into 8th edition in the form of Terminators with a WS/BS 2+, and they’ll be able to take wounds for Abaddon. But, given the source, we really recommend adding plenty of salt to this one.
This rumor is hot on the heels of yesterday’s rumor that Abaddon will be making a return.
Industry insiders report:
“Look for the return of Abaddon and his entourage this year on the heels of the Orks.”

If the rumors are true, it looks like we might be seeing a new model for Abaddon. That’s the only thing we can assume “Look for the return” means because he’s already in the Chaos Space Marines Codex, so it wouldn’t be a return to the rules. But the rumor also stated it will be “on the heels of the Orks”, and, once again, if the rumors are true we’ll be seeing the release of the Orks around June, which would put Abaddon in the July – August time frame.
Now, as for the entourage part… This could mean a couple things. This could mean we’ll be seeing a Black Legion lineup of releases coming, or it could mean we’ll be seeing a new Triumvirate coming out featuring Abaddon and two of his bodyguards, possibly the latest Faeit rumor of the Bringers of Despair.
Either way, we’re really looking forward to finding out more. Make sure you’re checking back in with us for the latest updates, we’ll be putting them out as soon as we get them.
What do you think about the latest Abaddon rumor? Do you think we’ll be seeing a new model alongside a new Bringers of Despair Terminator kit?
