Borky Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 So, I've seen a few size comparison pictures of the old vs new terminators, and loads of pictures of Abaddon, but I was just wondering if anyone has any pictures of Abaddon next to the new terminators and perhaps the DG terminators? I love Abaddon's lore and ADB's Black Legion novels, but I'm a little worried about the new models size myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borky Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Thank you for that! So he is a fair amount bigger than the terminators it would seem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadass Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Keep in mind that he's getting a little height out of that terrain piece he's standing on, not sure how much of a difference it makes though. @HereticMarine1 - Kudos to you for that conversion, looks great!

HereticMarine1 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Thank you for that! So he is a fair amount bigger than the terminators it would seem! Nearly a centimeter taller not including abaddons base and not including the trophy rack @AHorriblePerson Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated.

Sception Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It helps if you also put the terminators on raised scenic bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereticMarine1 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I was going to model him without the base seeing as i'm not a massive fan of the primaris marine on the base, but a bit of putty fixed that. He is the perfect size really, taller than the other marines as he should be but not cartoonishly big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is what I was worried about, I wanted him to stand out but not look too out of place as the thing I love most about Abaddon is that he’s still a marine - just a tad bigger. I think your conversion has helped a lot also! I can’t stand the new trophy rack, it the old one looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereticMarine1 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 If you are thinking of doing it yourself this is how i did it below, just carefully snip the bit highlighted in red on both sides, green stuff to fill in the gaps will be required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of using some of the terminator ones myself, which I imagine would be a similar process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaVolt87 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 @ HereticMarine1, what sorcery and pacts did you have to perform to get the metal topknot to sit securely on the plastic head? Is it pinned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereticMarine1 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 just a bit of superglue and milliput to help fill any gaps, think it helps keep it in place too but will have to be very careful, haven't got the tools to pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrakul Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 HereticMarine1 I would heartily recommend getting a pin-vice and a few drill bits (I use 1mm for wrists or gun barrels, even banner poles, and 1.5mm for feet-to-bases, shoulders etc.) great for dryfitting or building models to be painted in sections, or even a cheaper way to make swap-able weapons on models. Models like havocs where torso->arm->wrist->gun->other hand->arm->torso etc. are well served with pinning. I use malleable gardening wire from dollar stores, can bend well, be cut with my plastic clippers without damaging them, and $1 is more than you'll ever need.

HereticMarine1 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Thanks, in the 20 years of miniature making i never bothered to get one but i think i will when i have the cash. I just get more models when i want more varied weapons as i am more of a collector than gamer(don't think i have played a game of 40k in 10 years).

MegaVolt87 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Anyone got pics of the new CSM termi's side by side of plastic cataphractii's for size comparison ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
