A black legion vs red corsairs raider style chaos war between each other while the imperium is busy dealing with different xenos threats would be awesome.

So long as the black legion dont ask the Red corsairs to pay taxes im sure they will get along

I'd like to see a brief conflict between the two, just to show how awesome Huron is and to let the GW writers actually show why Abaddon is in charge.

The chaos gods: "You can do this Huorn my boy"....A few moments later at the bookmaker.."All souls on Abaddon!"

In terms of ship numbers, the Red Corsairs are reported to surpass any other chaos warband/legion. I would imagine in a space battle the Red Corsairs would have an edge, not just in numbers but experience as well. The Black Legion meanwhile would have an edge in the number of Astartes (not to mention all the other warbands they've essentially vassalized) they could deploy. Abaddon would likely want to either ambush the Red Corsairs (and overwhelm with boarding actions) or force them into a conflict planet side where he could grind them down.

Reminder from the Badab War, the Astral Claws were adept at playing with geneseed. So not impossible that they have managed to maintain a relatively pure reserve and growing it further with raids. During the Badab War they, from casualty reports, numbered over 6000 marines, built up over the span of just a few centuries, while not arousing suspiscions for multiple of those.

I love the idea of a chaos civil war if it includes a loyalist primarch coming out the warp with a prevervbial steel chair.

The Night Lords wanting desperately to smash the little familiar skittering along Huron's back was a great part of the trilogy.

Huron is a man who can come back from nothing and with his pact with the Dark Powers grant him strength above strength. As long as he keeps delivering and and never gives in I believe he will forever fight on until his death. I can see him ascending as a true champion of Chaos Undivided.

Kinda curious if either of them are gonna try to deal with the nids. Cause I doubt Abby is gonna take the idea of the bugs denying him his vengance  and crown well.

Blackheart was known in Badab for hiding his strengths, tiger claws into astral claws anyone, and this strategy probably deepened in his fall to chaos. Any projections of the red corsair's strength I will conservatively add 30% to that.

As much as these two may hate each other, they are technically allies. I doubt either one would be foolish enough to start a war with the other until after their common enemies are dealt with.

The Red Corsairs have amazing leadership in organisation, cohesion and tactics. It's no wonder many flock to their banners, success breeds success.

Honestly this would be so awesome to see. Both Huron and Abaddon rule and I would love an entire novel about the tensions rising and eventually boiling over between the Black Legion and the Red Corsairs.

Always felt like Abaddon was an Archaon the Everchosen-wannabe. He's got heavy plot armor, a big fated ultrastrong demon sword, gifts from the gods and stuff. Huron feels like an evil but cunning and selfish bastard that's clever enough to fully use the strengh of OTHER chaos legions not like Abaddon who's like "I am strong and i use MY brute strenght to crush you". I'd frankly prefer to have Huron as leader as i feel we'd see chaos in a way better way, like each legions/warband, used to their fullest being raw violence, warp power, psychological warfare and stuff.

The simplest solution for the Imperium is to tell Ghazghull that Yarricks killer is amongst those two warbands. That would make one hell of a scrap.

Welcome back everyone

To be honest it's unlikely these two fight one another as long as Imperium still strong, they can't afford to be weakened while Imperium seeks to wipe them out .

Abaddon and Huron are an interesting study in contrasts. On the surface they're both brutal warlords and conquerers, each the undisputed lord of a legion's worth of traitor Astartes who pose terrible threats to the galaxy as a whole. But Abaddon's all about the long game, he's the man destined to tear down the Emperor and His Imperium so he can conquer it for himself, as he feels is his right. A true visionary, in his own awful way. Huron however seems to be a lot more materially concerned and doesn't seem to care as much about the whole Long War business, as much as he is about expanding and ruling his own empire around the Maelstrom. The man holds giant festivals where he gives away entire armies to aspiring champions, all for the sake of his massive ego, for pities' sake. And while Abaddon is the closest thing to royalty among the old traitor legions (relatively speaking of course, many among them hate his guts), Huron is a jumped up Noveau Riche by comparison, held in contempt by a lot of the old guard in the traitor legions, though as much tinged with envy as it is scorn. I'd like to see the dynamic between these two explored further, I feel like there's a lot of fun to be had looking at how these two would go forward interacting with one another, especially given the insanity and mayhem sweeping the galaxy at the moment. Could lead to an interesting shift in the balance of power between them depending on how things turn out...

I'm amazed that that's Samoa Joe's voice right there.
