Mac vs The Despoiler
Abbadon, the Despoiller
I wanted to do something for the 40k weekend but, while I do have more minis than I should, I dont really have a ton of 40k. I have a set of Space Hulk and maybe handfull of random other miniatures that I thought were cool and got for no other reason than that. I’m not a gamer, and most of my stuff is fantasy, mostly from Lord of the Rings.
None of the Space Hulk minis were prepared and I really didnt feel like going through all that red, and the few minis I have are deep under a mountain of other stuff that seemed too daunting to go through.
I did, however, found a miniature that I started probably more than five years ago, but lost interested and never finished it. The old Abbadon, the Despoiller.
So, I “pulled a Justin”…
Abbadon, the DespoillerAs you can see, I’m not starting this miniature from scratch, but I feel I can improve on what I have done years ago and, well, actually get it done this time around. In the end, will almost be a complete repaint. Almost.
The miniature does not have the striking look of the newer version, but I find it cool on its own, and you can see that all its main elements remain on the new one, just revised to more modern times and technology. It also had the fancy pony tail, but I didn’t like the look and took it off, replacing it with some sort of psychic tubbing made with guitar strings. The heresy!
Its not the most ambicious project ever, but if I can complete it this time I will be very happy. Its always nice to get things done.
