Guest Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Ashes of prospero, he was in that. Ill look when I get to a computer You mean Vigga Deathblow, first hearthegn? Directly translating from old norse it would be "house freeman" however from a blend of Norse/Celtic it is "house chief". Then we put a 40k twist it probably means "house guard" which would be in charge of the Huskarls which are the special gaurd.

TiguriusX Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Geigor Fell-Hand. It is expected by some, myself included, that Geigor is "Bjorn" before his internment into a Dreadnought, however, if/until GW says so, it is mere speculation currently. Doesn't Geigor already have separate fluff from bjorn? I remember reading somewhere that Bjorn was the 2nd fell handed and it was going to keep being passed on but Bjorn refuses to die and still claims the title Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354709-ideas-on-using-the-new-abaddon-model/page/2/#findComment-5285631 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn receives the fell hand previously wielded by Geigor along with the fell hand title after losing his arm.

Guest Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I picked up Abaddon as there was a GW store near my hotel. I am going be honest, it is a bit overwhelming. If anyone wants pictures I can get them to you, my pixel 2 can do pretty decent pictures.

Ranulf Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I picked up Abaddon as there was a GW store near my hotel. I am going be honest, it is a bit overwhelming. De-chaosifying the Warmaster of Chaos is overwhelming? I think the trick is breaking it down into components, work one area and it'll hopefully lead to inspiration on the next. I'd start with the belt - pair away the Chaos sigil and repair the area by smoothing over GS and adding SW iconography. I'd then move onto the knees - the angry faces and downward arrows need to go, but keep the trim and the bottom and the lip on top of the knee. Finish each piece before moving on. The hard part is that chest... -Ran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354709-ideas-on-using-the-new-abaddon-model/page/2/#findComment-5287991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Unfortunately none of these options will work. The best thing you can do is mail me that abaddon model so I can make the best use of him.

LordofWinter Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 For conversion ideas: I believe @northofsleet (Instagram ) of Iron Sleet (Instagram/Blog) converted the new Abaddon model to a Luna Wolves era Abaddon. It is pretty darn close to what a Space Wolves conversion might look like! Go check it out - I don't know how to add links/photos.

NightHowler Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Thanks for the link! Seeing him like that, standing next to a primaris, really helps stir the imagination.

sbarnby71 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I love Iron Sleet's work but I still feel that model has way more potential to exploit. The more I look at him the more I would keep and base on the 13th - even down to him standing on a Pretty Boy Ultramarine (hey if they are stupid enough to get killed in battle, then I'm gonna use them to strike a dramatic pose).

Guest Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 If anyone runs a vanilla SW company and wants a Primaris/truescale Arjac, he seems like the perfect size.

So I'd just say watch out for those details when you make your own and take your time, this is an awesome base model to work with. Damn it I'm going to have to get one now!

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I agree about that pistol. The holstered bolter from tcav might look good proportionally should you need a holster pistol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354709-ideas-on-using-the-new-abaddon-model/page/2/#findComment-5289340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
