Let's say that abbadon finally asspulls his way to the Sol system.
What then? His forces would be exhausted after the push from the eye of terror and then deal with the entire segmentum shitting their pants and setting every single battleship and vacuum-proof box they can manage on his ass, and that's not including the personal Terran fleet, the IF fleet(and maybe the phalanx) the GK fleet, the Martian fleet, and several hundred personal flotillas from inquisitors and rouge traders(not mentioning the reinforcements from other parts of the imperium.
Thats ignoring Titan and the inquisitorial fortress zone around saturn.
And then if he manages to get through that he still needs to get past Luna and the hundreds of defense satellites orbiting it

What now?

IF they somehow asspull their way beyond a storm of laser and flak fire onto the surface they then have to go against the if who are in their element, the GK, hundreds if not thousands of regiments of IG, hordes of ministrorum fanatics and inquisitorial stormtroopers and Titan legions and in the imperial itself the entire legio custodes.
And let's not forget the asasinorum, their personal army, billions of hive gangers, billions more conscripted citizens and the guards of the noble houses.
That's before every single astartes chapter in range comes to their aid(including Bobby G with the chadmarines)
So I ask you Veeky Forums, what do?
lol chaos already won, endless daemons lol, Abadoobadong is aykshully the good guy, gg ez
Find out in Warhammer, s̶e̶a̶s̶o̶n̶ Edition 9!
What you've described is literally a drop in the ocean compared to infinite hordes of Chaos.
This is probably exactly why he hasn't done that yet.
I don't get why people think Horus was more successful than Abaddon. Horus is dead, soul literally erased, that is the perfect definition of loss.
Abaddon hasn't pulled anything quite as major as Istvaan or the siege of Terra, yet at the end of it all, he is still standing, and all of his effort goes into being alive until he wins.
The thing is, the only way he could possibly get that far is if he was riding a massive fucking warp storm/extension of the Great Edition Shift Rift. In that situation, bar maybe Titan, Saturn and Terra with their psychic defences, everything's fucked and reinforcements are unable to get in without getting fucked.
The whole idea of black crusades have no sense. Abaddon does not have the means to keep a steady line of supply, there's simply not enough resources(water, food, etc.) in the Eye of Terror to keep a large scale war going on. The time fluidity of the Eye/warp also would make any possibility of battle coordination impossible. For some it has passed 100 years since the HH, for others it has been only a few days. How organise all of them into a force capable of crippling the Imperium? You can't.
Not even mentioning that due to the time problem, while the Imperium would have centuries to reorganize themselves many traitors would have only a fraction of this time and no means to help each others.
And I'm not even mentioning the constant infighting.
The whole point of the Black Crusades is to advance the plot, because it doesn't really makes much sense.
My best bet if I was Abaddon would be a blitzkrieg-ish tactic. Beeline to Terra and take out the Astronomicon or the Emperor of possible (Emperor will be harder to get). If he takes out the Astronomicon, it will be the Age of strife all over again and imperial worlds will fall to Chaos.
That is of course assuming Abbadons crusade isn't just a geneseed waving contest in which case he's gonna lose. Again.
We don't know what is going on currently with him, but at the start of the 13th Black Crusade, he led a force larger than the forces of the HH in size.
At the start of the 13th BC, he had resolved most of the issues you bring up, and part of the plan was to either expand the Eye so resupply becomes less issue, or take and strip worlds on the way, Horus did this.
