What a wonderful way we weave this web of woe - army name and this gem taken from Abbadon's rhyme collections.
Alright sorry about that lets get to the good stuff:
HQ:
Abbadon
Elite:
4 Termie ( 2 x combimelta )
- Land Raider ( Possessed )
Troop:
1 x
5 CSM ( champ, power sword, combimelta, melta )
- Rhino ( combiplasma )
3 x
5 CSM ( melta )
- Rhino ( combiplasma )
2 x
5 CSM ( champ, fist, combimelta, melta )
- Rhino ( combiplasma )
Fast: Nothing fast about it!
Heavy:
3 x
Vindicator ( Possessed )
What do ya think?? This list should be fun as hell to play with and pretty scary to go against.

Honestly I think there's some fat you can trim here.
Step 1: Drop two of the:
3 x
5 CSM ( melta )
- Rhino ( combiplasma )
And replace it with:
1x
10 CSM (x2 Melta, Champ w/P. Fist)
-Rhino (combiplasma)
Step 2: Beef up the Terminators
Add at least one Chainfist and a Heavy Flamer. One model with dual Lightning Claws wouldn't hurt either. Terminators assaulting out of a Land Raider need to have choppy weapons. Power Weapons just don't take down the IC's that you need to hack and slash.

Power weapons don't. Abaddon does. With ease.

Then what's the point of taking the Terminators? They're already expensive killy things, may as well give them a few more uprades other than one-off shooty things to make them even more killy. After all, never know when you'll have to try to wade through a Gazgkhull Thraka warband unit.

The termies primary function is to provide Abbadon with 4 more 2+/5+ wounds. Abbadon will crush squads by himself, the termies simply help open up vehicles and make it very hard to actually do any damage to Abby.
The 5 man melta rhino squads are simply scoring, antitank, plasmarhino, decent cc. For 125 points this is very cost effective. At 2k points, 10 man squads would mean I would lose some of my armor, which is what the list is all about!
Everything is so damned hard to kill / stop. With everything moving 12, front armor popping smoke, rest behind for cover, I can alternate on next movement and suddenly you have 6 rhinos, 3 vindicators, and abby in a landraider right in your face... OUCH!!!
