I'm using some of the Chaos Warshrine to deck out a land raider for Abbadon. It's not near done, but this is the basic layout (I've got to find something to replace that other aquila on the track):


Now, I kinda want to use the Icon too, but do you think it's too much or is that just how Abbadon would roll? Maybe just with a shortened stem?

How do they get out of the assault ramp with a dozer blade in the way?

I think it looks amazing, but a little too top heavy with the spire attached. Have you tried looking at the dozer blades that Kromlech makes? http://kromlech.eu/?p=519 They look like they're made so the dozers are in front of the tracks not the assault ramp.

Impressive!

I don't think Abaddon would be using a giant icon of Khorne, but other than that, it looks very cool!

Icon should be chaos undivided and probably the whole thing should lose the greenish nurlge hue I would use black as a base color personally, maybe a dark shade of gold

Nice kitbashing.

Agreed, you need to replace the khorne icon with something Abbadon-specific (does he have any unique symbols?) or a generic chaos star (should be easy enough, the bottom half's already there).

And if you really want that dozer blade, you need to somehow change the front door so that troops can still assault out of it. Hmm, maybe the top half of the door still folds up (if it's not glued already, you could even show it in the 'up' position, with assault troops waiting to climb out), but the bottom half is welded in place? But do also consider removing the dozer blade - it's an awkward fit on a LR chassis.

After looking at the Chaos Warshrine on the GW website, why not just use the spire without the Khorne symbol? It makes a cool chaos star in and of itself.

I like that, seems like you could scratch built that too.

The Khorne icons are there because the rest of the army is exclusively Khorne, but maybe it will go to stay with Abbadon's fluff. the spire will likely get lowered if it goes on, I think, it will be tricky enough to transport as it is.

I know the dozer blade looks in the way, I have been assuming that with the pivot points built into it it kind of "lays down" when the doors open, but the Kromlech version is definitely an option also.
