Converting Abbaddon

[Montuhotep]

Okay folks, simple enough question for those who have replaced Abby's Talon with something else.

 

What arm do you use? For size purposes, that is?

 

I thought of a regular Termi arm but on the other hand it doesn't seem to have the bulk required to match the new Abby now he's been upscaled somewhat. Then I saw the Inceptor arms, particularly the plasma one.

 

Would this be better?

I opted for a forge world primarch arm. It's a little bigger but works. I'll get a pic shortly.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but that conversion is fantastic. I did not replace Abaddon's claw hand, I merely added to it. I won't derail the thread, but if your curious mine's here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353152-update-to-prots-thousand-sons-p2-scarab-occult-finished/?p=5730866

 

The problem I had with idea of replacing the hand is I wanted to add a magic 'ball' to it and it needed a mighty large hand to do so.

Thanks Prot! Praise from the high magister is always welcome

 

I thought long and hard about what to use as ol' Abby is slightly larger than the average terminator (as noted above) and then I remembered about the Primarchs. There is probably something else in the range that might work but I opted for Magnus....

Both are things of beauty, gentlemen.

If it’s of any use, a friend of mine recently converted Abaddon to an Iron Warriors Chaos Lord; https://www.instagram.com/p/CMqTLgonEw-/?utm_medium=copy_link
