I really enjoy working with plastic over metal or finecast. That's why I whipped up this very simple Plastic Abaddon for my Chaos Chosen Army.

Here's what you'll need to build it:
1) Chaos Lord Box Set (You could buy all of the bits separately, but I don't mind having the extra gubbins around so I bought the whole box)
2) A Terminator Stormbolter
3) Bloodletter Rider Sword from the Bloodcrushers Box Set
4) Chaos Terminator Trophy Rack from the Chaos Terminator box set ( you can use the racks that come in the Lord Box, but I didn't like those as much.)
5) Top knot from the Chaos Knights (Fantasy) box set (again, you could snip and use any top knot. I had this laying around and I thought it worked perfectly.)

Please feel free to give suggestions or comments. I label this conversion under "quick" and "easy." This takes ZERO putty work and the only hobby intensive thing you have to do is shave down the lightning claw.

Happy Building!

Sweet! might try that myself sometime!

Actually, Id reccomend some filler around the joint of the stormbolter & claw, or more precise shaving...its pretty easy to tell its 2 separate pieces.

Otherwise its a great kitbash, nice job.

Yer i agree green stuffin the storm bolter and lightning claw would make it look much better,

nice conversion work though

You guys make a solid point. However, the pictures contrast does make it seem more dramatic then it actually is.

I think I'll use some liquid green stuff on those areas before I prime it.

Thank you for your input!

Sweet looking Abaddon. Really no mistaking who its supposed to be.

Looks quite good. I'd drill out the Bolter barrels, though.

LOL, I did the nearly the same thing, except using two bolters mashed together instead of the stormbolter and the trophy rack from the Chaos Demon kit.

I throw a pic up of the painting in progress when I get the chance.

really needs a loin cloth imho

I think most people would forgive the lack of loincloth if i meant Abaddon keeps his arms attached for more then a single battle.

I like it , looks like Abaddon to me. Now you have to paint it.

I have had an old metal Abby sitting on my desk primed for months and haven't worked up the nerve to paint him. I really dislike the metal model for him. Maybe I should look into doing something like this.
