The mythos comes together, and Abaddon is at the helm of it all. But if you can overcome some of the technical challenges of actually assembling it (hey, I did you so you can too!)
In storytelling, the antagonist (aka the bad guy) needs to be as big and as bad as the hero is good. Ideas exist. 13 times it looked like given the weak end of the campaign that GW left us when results didn’t appear the way they wanted them to be. Warhammer 40,000 is a bit more nuanced than that of course, but inevitably the Imperium is where the perspective is “from”. Chaos needed to go over the Imperium in a big way. Back then, there was one siege of Troy, which began with the kidnapping of Helen and ended with the wooden horse. EDIT x2: I can't give you an answer. It'd be juicy if there was. You could replace him with Ghazghul to a lesser extent. When the good ship GW turns, it turns sloooowwwwly. There's no right or wrong approach to this.
