Ive read the guide about claiming your BCH and if I understand it correctly I dont need Bitcoin ABC, have I missunderstood the guide?
Yes. You need Bitcoin ABC (or Bitcoin Unlimited, although it crashes a lot last I checked) in order to access your Bcash coins.
If I understood it correctly this is what I have to do:
1. Update Armory to a version that has the BCH signer
2. Delete some blocks to somehow see the BCH balance I had at the time at the fork.
3. Send all those funds to a real BCH wallet using the BCH signer.
1)Yes.
2)Yes, by using ABC or Unlimited. You'll want to follow the guide and use
alternate paths in order to not wreck your regular Bitcoin Core setup. I believe this is covered in the guide.
3)Yes, or to an exchange so that you can sell them.
