Hey guy’s. Ahh Abaddon, what to say, what to say. So far I have almost just finished the first book Horus Rising, but I get a pretty good idea where it is going for poor Loken.
I painted this model for Abaddon up when it was first released. At the time I had not read the books and did not know the story so I was really just following the lines of what Forge World did with model. I think now having read a fair bit about Abaddon I would have painted him differently and probably improve on what I am showing. This must have been painted from about 4 years ago. Which in painters terms from me is quite a long time. Anyway hopefully I will try him again along with the Horus model I also painted some time ago.
On another note I am loving reading the first book Horus Risng. To be honest I did not think it was going to be that great. But I am really enjoying it. I think the way that they portray the 30K world is awesome and I’m getting excited to continue moving onto False Gods, but feel a little sad that Dan abnett has not written it. Upon reading this book it really has changed the way I look upon Space Marines. They are really quite a mixed bunch. What do you think being that its quite a old painted model?

Thanks a lot, we appreciate any help to continue and grow Tale of Painters 🙂
Enjoy the books, some are better than others. Please don't let a dud or two stop you from continuing. Out of the 30+ books that have come out so far, less than ten are essential to the story, so you can pick the ones you want to read
Still excellent work
Hey cheers guys. I look forward to reading more of them.
Love what you have done and have fun with the books.
Dan does a great job of setting everything up, but Graham does a great job of keeping the plot going and getting the book where it needs to be. Loken is such a great character too root for the touchstone for everything that is going on. Very nice paint job. I'm very interested in seeing how you would re-interpret Abaddon after reading the first few books.
Look forward to it. About 10 pages from finishing the first one.If I did Abaddon I would probably just be confident as orginally with the one above I did not know who he was or what he did. Awesome read by the way.Cheers Joe.
