My attempt to cram all nine Founding Legions into a 2K List that doesn't completely suck, led by Abaddon himself. Largely abandoning Sacred Numbers (Except for the Berzerkers, who just happened to work out well that way), and going all MSU, I think it might just work:
275/275 Abaddon
310/585 2x5 CSM, Melta, Combi-Melta Champ, Combi-Melta Rhino
207/792 5 1K Sons, Doombolt, Combi-Melta Rhino
208/1000 8 Berzerkers, PowerFist Champ
180/1180 5 Plague Marines, 2xMeltagun, Combi-Flamer Rhino
140/1320 5 Noise Marines, 1 BlastMaster
110/1430 5 Chosen, 2 Meltaguns
120/1550 5 Raptors, 2 Meltaguns
225/1775 3 Obliterators
225/2000 Land Raider, Dozer Blade*
So, the four Dedicated Legions are obvious. The Alpha Legion supply the Chosen Squad, the Night Lords bring the Raptors. The Black Legion make up one of the Suicide Melta Squads, the other is Iron Warriors, and then the Obliterators (fluff-wise, they're Terminator Sorcerers) are from my Word Bearers.
Abaddon rides with the Berzerkers in the Land Raider and provides myprimary only real Beatstick Unit, everything else is there to cover them on the way in, crack Transports, shoot up things they can't take in Assaults, or deal with Objectives.
I have one slight variation in mind, to make it fit better with the Models I already have painted: Drop the BlastMaster, give all 6 Noise Marines Sonic Blasters, and add a third Melta to the Chosen Squad. Not sure how I feel about it, since it reduces the number of Units that can deal with hard targets and Chosen are kind of unreliable anyhow (either reliant on dice with Outflanking or Terrain with Infiltrating).
*I just noticed this afternoon that Chaos Land Raiders can take Dozer Blades. I might have won that last Tournament if I'd noticed that at any point in the last four years instead, since in the Game I lost, two Land Raiders (including Abaddon's) Immobilized themselves on Difficult Terrain, and one did in the Game I drew. 3 Immobilizations out of something like 7 Dangerous Terrain Tests
