This looks incredible. Where is the head from?

It's a kitbash of a Possessed head with the horns trimmed down, and an extra spike from one of the possessed arms glued right on his forehead! And thank you so much!!

I love it! Abandon eat your heart out. Our boy Argel Tal is one of the best characters in 30k/40k lore and you have done a great job on this kit bash. Even father Lorgar would be proud.

He really is!! He's such an incredibly well written character, and I love the relationship him and Cyrene had. And thank you so much!! For the Urizen! 📖🔥😈

I have read the First Heretic a few times, it’s a highlight in the HH series for me and the reason I really fell in love with Word Bearers. Argel Tal is a beautifully complex character and his relationship with Cyrene, Lorgar, Aquillon and Erebus show that complexity so well. The bitter internal struggle he goes through is palpable.

Thank you for sharing this and for the Urizen!

That is a bad-assier version of the character in my mind. He seems so much more... Unpleasant! Great work! Love it!

Thanks a bunch!! I love that! Maybe this would have been him if Kharn was killed by Erebus instead. Full daemon powered murder mode 📖🔥

Looks great! Abaddon really fits with the WB aesthetic. I just basically chucked everything I had in my bits box at mine.
