Through his Black Crusades he tests the imperium's defences, gain more resources for war, gain new artefacts(blackstone fortresses) and pretty much learns more things... That's the really scary thing about Abbadon. Each of those crusades which nearly overruns the Imperium's last line of defense against the Eye and comes even closer to dealing the final death knell to the scions of Terra? All of them nothing more than test runs. Only reason he hasn't done it yet is because thanks to superior industry, willingness to take help from Eldar (if only against Abbadon) and several orders of magnitude of numerical advantage in terms of non-daemonic forces that can actually be committed to the Cadian Gate, the Imperium has every possible advantage in fighting him.

Tzeentch only knows (literally since it's probably part of one of his plans somewhere) what it'll be like when Abbadon gets his act together and gets enough forces gathered under him to get the actual fully-scripted not-a-test Black Crusade going.
