Komrad Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 He's big, he's bad, he's the Despoiler! Responsible for 13 Black Crusades and bad hair fashion, Ezekyle Abaddon is a true Warmaster of Chaos. All fear him as he is kit-bashed by the Chaos Gods to look even more menacing. Crunching an Ultramarine (yes Ultramarine) beneath his heels as the Warmaster poses for all to see. http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/530/img2825.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odsox Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Lovely, but is there any way you could make the marine look more dead? At the moment he looks as though he's just sort of going, "Oof, get off me, and wipe your damn shoes! They're filthy!" Mildly inconvenienced rather than dead, in fact. Otherwise, Abaddon looks as imposing as ever. Nice angry face, too. That's the Termie Lord face, innit? Od. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the marine is supposed to be dead yet. Abbadon looks to me like he is finishing off the marine by snapping his neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durus Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 It's a good conversion. Though I think the proportions are a bit off. It looks to me like the waist area is too long. I hope you don't mind, but I made a quick cut and paste version of your photo to show you what I mean. Here. The foot on the SM helmet works, but it looks like he is balancing on the marines knee with the other at the moment. It's obviously an early WIP, so that might change, just something I thought worth pointing out. The choice of parts is good, I especially like the face. And he is still instantly recognizable as Abbadon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musliisafish Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 on the ultramarine underfoot, I think the pose of him is fantastic, looks like he's desperately trying to get up (while of course maintaining his dignity and honor, which I can see whether intentionally or not for some unknown reason in the pose), but agreed in that he looks like he's pulling a balancing act on the left foot. And i would reccommend making sure the models boot soles are scored as the original model you can't see the soles of the feet, so hadn't been models accordingly. Nevertheless, excellent work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie09 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I Like it, I think the Ultramarines could look more effective if you were to remove the backpack though! Granted this makes for an incomplete miniature but as he lies down he'll be, a - more dead and b - be easier to pose effectively! Good work!

Komrad Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Ok recieved massive dislike for the marine being stomped. So here's something else. Abaddon stepping on an statue of an angelic face. Got this nice conversion kit fro Scibor's Miniatures. http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5464/img2826.jpg http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/7661/img2827f.jpg http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/1968/img2828.jpg Let me know if it's suitable.

Replica Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 the statue is much better, makes the model twice as cool in my opinion, love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeons Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 i'd rather see the marine, but like everyone said, more dead. make it look like abaddon forcefully game down on his head, breaking his neck and smashing his face plate. it shouldn't be too hard to do, just a few slices in the marines neck, then bend it back, figure out the new weight distribution... the statue looks really cool too though, so either way.

Son Of Moriar Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Amazing Model..... also best place for an Ultramrine?? A friend of mine (and mad Genius by the way) has got the LARGE forgeworld kit of Abaddon and your use of the plastic chaos termie legs suits more than original parts, more stompy than politely using as a stepping stone if you get my drift. All in all a fantastic looking miniature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koran Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I have to say I think the statue is better.... The marine makes it look like he has taken out a really good warrior.... OK thats cool. The statue makes it look like he is responsible for the destruction of entire cities and worlds. Much more Abaddon's style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 How about both? The statue kinda looks like sanguinius, maybe add a few dead blood angels around the base? That'd be cool, and fluffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 much better with the statue, everyone knows an Abaddon would get stomped by calgar before he had the chance to tap dance on any ultras casualties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Angel Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 The statue works for the models current pose. The marine stomp needed him to be looking down and have the stomping foot raised a bit in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natanael Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Very nice indeed. I've been wanting to do a cool HQ including TDA bodyguard for a while and you might just have inspired me to do Abaddon and his boys :P - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
