Cmdr Shepard Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Greetings fellow hobbyists, I plan to make the "Classic" Abaddon conversion by mixing the arms/weapons of the Abaddon's kit with the plastic TDA Chaos Lord. However I want to give him a truly badass helmet. Currently my choice is one of the two TDA helmets from the Lord kit. Do you have any suggestion? Any cool chaos, or chaos-like, helmet I could use a part from the ones I mentioned above? Thanks for your assistance.

Phoros Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Bit of advice: Just use the Sword for Abaddon. There's better stuff in the Terminator Lord kit for everything else. For the Helmet, consider looking at Warriors of Chaos models from Fantasy.

Brother Ambroz Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Or check out FW for the random terminators they have there. Could use Tyberios's head for example. I used Zhufor's (which is amazing by the way).

Darklighter Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 You could always just wait for FW to release the new Abaddon model. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261927-cool-helmet-for-abaddon-conversion/#findComment-3188909 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's better stuff in the Terminator Lord kit for everything else.For the Helmet, consider looking at Warriors of Chaos models from Fantasy. Is the Talon from Abaddon kit so bad? I thought it would be nice to have the twin-linked bolter already built. Fro what warriors of chaos kit are you suggesting to take the helmet Or check out FW for the random terminators they have there. Could use Tyberios's head for example. I used Zhufor's (which is amazing by the way). I'm awaiting FW new releases before placing a new order and I want to play Abaddon when the nex Codex comes out. However I could use the plastic lord TDA helmet but not glue it. I could change when I acquire a better helmet. You could always just wait for FW to release the new Abaddon model. We don't know when the model (it's actually a small diorama, if I'm not mistaken) will be released and, as I said, I'd like to play Abaddon as soon as the new Codex is released.

Darklighter Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 That's fine fella. I'd just like to point out though that having held the model in my hand I can confirm that it's not a diorama.

I'd just like to point out though that having held the model in my hand I can confirm that it's not a diorama. That's a very good news. So it's like Angron's mini, then: a 40mm base which slot into the diorama base. Unless I'm talking about a different miniature ;) Anyway what weapons is the FW Abaddon equiped with? I'm sure I'll buy the miniature when it is released. Do you know when is it scheduled for release? I have not order Betrayal and Angron yet because I'm awaiting for the other releases (heresy TDA, etc) and save on shipping. So I believe I'll convert the current model (I won't use both old Abaddon and another Chaos lord anyway; so I will make an Abaddon conversion; then I suspect I'll buy the FW model and use the previous conversion for a "count as" character. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261927-cool-helmet-for-abaddon-conversion/#findComment-3190549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 It was on a 25mm standard infantry base and he has a power fist and sword combo and I really don't know when he's due for release, but I'd guess before christmas seen as he was ready to show, but I didn't ask so can't really say.

If it's on a 25mm base he is in Power/Arteficer armour not TDA, then. I hoped to have a TDA Abaddon model from FW....

Darklighter Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Sorry it is a 40mm Terminator base. I'll post you a pic when I've not got a child on my lap (it'll more than likely be blurry though). Ok the kid is in bed and I have my hands free to do more then just type. Here is the really bad picture I took of him for you to look at. http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Abaddon.jpg Edit to add picture Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261927-cool-helmet-for-abaddon-conversion/#findComment-3191790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is to modify the fist to look like the Talon, with in-built combi-bolter. Anyway I just completed my classical Abaddon conversion. When FW will release the model I think I'll buy it alongside with other HH stuff and see how to use it. For the records, I used the "spiked" helmet for Abaddon. I already used the "skulled" one for another Lord and the spiked one looked more badass. I'll take a pic as soon as I can :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261927-cool-helmet-for-abaddon-conversion/#findComment-3195971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
