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?

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.
Love what you have done and have fun with the books.
Hey cheers guys. I look forward to reading more of them.
Still excellent work
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
