The most hilarious part of this all is that Imperium all the time had 9 super-Astartes Legions (Unnumbered Sons) and a lot of super-Space Marine Chapters with all their super Great-Crusade-technology-bich-please technology and probably even fleets right near Terra. You understand what this mean? Abbadon had no chanses from the beginning, as well as the Beast, Tyranids, Necrons, Alpha Legion and all others. They only existed because Belisarius Cawl let them. They could just start the Second Great Crusade any time (NINE LEGIONS + a lot of new Chapters + a lot of Astartes dedicated to already existing ones + Primaris Space Marines created from gene-seed of Chapters that don't know their Primarchs (for exaple the Blood Raven, the Black Dragons and the Exorcists), and all of them being even superior Space Marines to the old ones and with totally superior in all way technology). And all the time when everyone thought that the Imperium is on its kness, he just thought that situation wasn't that bad and was actually right and so he could just wait to a recurrection of the Primarch (and that means whe knew it maybe is going to happen) to introduce all that stuff to him and therefore baing more epic. Think!
