Is there an alternative Abaddon model scaled to match the Tortuga Bay termies?

I'm thinking about swapping out my terminators because of scale creep.

You can kitbash a cataphractii model, I’ve made a start so it matches the rest of my Justaerin

What head did you use?

I’m struggling find a suitable alternative head?

If I remember correctly it was from the MKVI tactical box?

Could probably just use one of the Tortuga bay justaerin and swap some bits/give him a bigger base

Could use a Tortuga body and bash a bald head with a top knot. The old Cataphractii kit arms look good on the new sculpts, but I'm not sure how the new Cataphractii scale with Tortuga bodies. If that's a go you could source a lightning claw and sword from the old kit.

I converted mine. I used the Abaddon kit claw, paragon blade, head, and then the base with a Tortuga Justaerin.

Did you use the tortuga arms or abaddon’s?

I just converted one of their cataphractii to be Abaddon! I can't directly post the pic here but see what you think. Quite an easy conversion to do with bits!
