The general concencus on the curently available Abbaddon model is that it is tired and outdated. So as many have done before i decided to attempt my own updated version. my starting point was the plastic terminator lord kit and my old finecast abbaddon mini. please bear in mind he is in the early stages of the build and currently only mocked up to give me an idea of where i want to go with him. any comments or suggestions are extremely welcome.

You should do something with the carrot top. one absolute reason I hate that sculpt.

I'm not sure what to do with the hair. I don't really want to leave his head bare.

It's bad luck to remove Abaddon's topknot. People that think it's looks dumb and remove it always have horrible things happen to them forever more.

It's science and you can't fight it. Also, especially if you're kitbashing, it's the best way to show it's Abaddon still. It's part of the guy's style.

Lol. Looks like its staying then.

He needs this http://megabitzshop.com/index.php?a=1941

Ok but, I swear if Abdaddon blinks.

Youhave it as a pseudo-plume coming out of a helmet. Of course the helmet would have to be quite fancy.

Ooh that's an idea. I've never seen an abbaddon with his helmet on.

I personally like this one

I used the top knot from one of the chaos space marine helmets, and I think that turned out ok.



I think ours look much better then the standard model

Also you don't have to use the weapons for the actual model either, it's actually rather easy to make your own.

Cool. That's good to know. I only used them because I had them. I was going to cut the shoulder guards off and use them too, but the chaos lord parts were close enough and much easier.

Much better. =)

erm that's not mine dude. lol.
i will be changing the topknot though, im just not sure what for

Just about done with the re posing now, all thats left is some minor sculpting to fill in some gaps and tidy everything up.

Still needs work, but im getting there,just the final highlighting qnd shading to do now. Any comments or suggestons extremely welcome
