ZiXIS once again you demonstrate how little you actually know about the setting, Swarmlord is no mindless beast, its a tactical genius. It damn near rendered the Ultramarines Chapter extinct and reduced Marineus Calgar into a pile of spare parts. On the Table Top, Swarmlord is more than a match for Abaddon in hand to hand and the fluff behind the beast backs up such a martial prowess. You must understand that the Swarmlord is the Hive Mind PERSONIFIED, it is an ancient intelligence that has likely devoured whole Galaxies where as the armies of the Milky Way have only played at conquring this single one. Lets not also mention that the Hive Mind's Shadow in the Warp would render most of Abbadon's daemonic abilities null and void for the most part unless he wants to blow his eyeballs out of their sockets to conjur a fucking firebal.

Also, World Eaters Librarians are HARDLY the finest in the Galaxy or in the history of the Galaxy, they are a very very poor measure as to what a really powerful Psyker could do, let alone a cadre of them.

As for Culexus Assassins, I dare you to find something else that can make a daemonically powered being fucking implode just by being there. Also FWI Z, there is no ONE Execution Force, they have been assembled many times since the GC, and one could just make an all Culexus Execution Force, support it with a sizeable assault, and they would burn Abaddon's soul into a hunk of etherial charcol, done deal, no ressurection.

Also, Abaddon, just like all mortal servents of Chaos, is just a pawn. A powerful pawn? Sure. But the Dark Gods will drop him like a bad habit when someone equally as capable comes along and knocks his dick in the dirt, which is the natural order of Chaos. There is always someone bigger ZiXIS, and even Abaddon, for all his trappings of power, is but one of many very very powerful potential rivals. Arguably any of the Daemon Primarchs could knock Abaddon around all day and night for fun like a bouncy ball but they all have their own little obsessions and don't have to time nore the reason to really care. Huron is well on his way to simply dethroing the lout. Abaddon is no unstobble force of nature, he's but an Astartes, and there are MANY like him who are just as ancient and just as bad, none of them was so close to Horus and therefore could inheret Abaddons position as he did though. Abbadon is merely who he is by a simple combination of Dumb Luck (or the Gods plan all along) and the fact that he is quite an impressive fighter. The magic sword only cemients his position but is far from the ultiment end all be all weapon. A Necron Overlord with a Tessarect Labyrinth and a unit of Destroyers or a simple Canoptek Sentinel with an Exile Beam could put Abaddon out of the game perminantly.

Abaddon is far form OP, hes just a very fortunant Warlord, you want OP, go check out what the Dark Eldar could do to him if they so wanted to take the losses. Vect could just letter bomb him a Black fucking Hole and the issue would be resolved.
