Hotttt.
Poor Abelard. He's always getting his butt kicked.
I love that artwork. Let the good times roll!!!
Alas, I don't even have issue 149 yet :(. Damn you local shops in other continents...
I played a paladin in age of worms, and my dm loved to show me how in EVERY picture, Abelard is getting hus butt kicked. Poor Abelard.
hey this reminds me of a question i've always wanted to know. Does anyone know where its lkisted or what messageboard thread the iconics were given names? Because I've seen Abelard the Paladin's name a few times but always wanted to know more about the others.
Any help would be appreciated.

Abelard the paladin has a name and Tyralandi the cleric has a name. None of the other iconics got names, as far as I remember. The only reason those two did, by the way, is those are the names of characters Wes (Abelard) and James (Tyralandi) created after being inspired by the iconic concept images.

Tyralandi (the cleric) is the only other iconic that's been officially named, to my knowledge. The reason those two have names is that their art inspired characters for Wes and Jacobs in Erik Mona's Age of Worms campaign. As I recall, Abelard met a grisly end rather quickly... hence the constant beatdowns in Dungeon's illustrations. :)
Man, scooped by 17 seconds!
From now on, whenever I start answering a post, I'm first going to run around the office screaming "DIBS!" and the thread name.
And my search-fu was wasted:
The paladin (on the cover of #117) served as the model for Wes Schneider's character Abelard, although this character ended up getting killed very early into the Whispering Cairn by a swarm of acid beetles (which is, incedentally, why the iconic paladin seems to be in dire trouble almost every time he's been illustrateed in the magazine since issue #124).

Some Paizoian ought to take a video of that and post it as a viewable file for the rest of us to laugh at. :)
Paladin rolls a 1 in the first round of combat... CLASSIC! :D
I will miss the iconics. Where's the comic book/graphic novel?
