Adeptus Custodes Army


Recommended Posts

With the French Waaagh Day coming,I got back to the Custodes ( could never have finished 750pts of Alpha legion anyway :) )

 

I Have to finish 750 pts by 06/28, that means a commander, a 5 terminator squad and two 5 custodians squad

 

These pics were taken yesterday afternoon, I got more job done since, in fact I only have the details left to do ( eyes, purity seals, tabards and freehands on the banners)

 

Now the pics

 

The Terminator Squad

It won' t be included in the FWD army but I thought It was a good idea to show it to you all ( to get some advices for example :) )

 

The dreadnought

He's of course far from beeing done .I thought I could add a bell above ( kinda like Dave Taylor did on one of his)

 

I' m also working on another Emperor figure

 

Here it is

Hope you'll enjoy it

The Emperor finally got justice!

At least his look. You can't seriously use the Emperor in a 750 points force? ;)

 

He will not be used as the Emperor, just as a regular Commander

;) :tu: That Emperor is very possibly the most awe inspiring miniture i have ever seen. Makes me want to finish my Magnus conversion (which is no where near this standard by the way). Just wish i didn't have to revise for my GCSEs.

the emporeur is the model sculpted fairly recently wasnt it? sold a load on CMON that sold like hot cakes the guy who made it is on here somewhere wasn't you kaleb was it?

the only thing from what i can see that lets the army down is the banner in the third picture is it plain brown or does it have something ornate like the others?

Na wasn't me i'm only a buyer on ebay ( for now)

and this figure was made about a year and a half ago, the same firm did make another better version last christmas ( On which I'm working on right now)

 

and the brown banner isn't done yet, it will of course have its freehand ( not sure though what I'll paint , a star or the eagle ,...)

These are some nice conversions. You've painted them to a high standard, and the Emperor is looking stylish! :) I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes, and especially seeing the next version of the Emperor.

Fantastic stuff, Ju!

 

Can imagine the look on the opposition's face when you place THEM reverently on the table!! Oh look, I seem to have brought the Emperor along to fight you Orks..... :D

I´m building a final army of 2000 points. I built it to be able to use both Daemon hunters of space marines codexes.

 

I´ll post other pics of the custodians with bolters and of the rest of what I´ve got for now.

 

 

Hope you´ll like them too

 

Thank you to all of you for your compliments :wub:

They look very stunning. I have to say that this is by far the best gold I've ever seen done on an army. Do you think you could tell us how you did it? (Colors, techniques, tutorials that inspired you, etc...)

Of course mate

Sharing is my modo!

 

quite simple in fact:

 

first coat of shining gold

then a wash of brown ink

then a mix of 50% shining Gold / 50%mithril silver

 

the plumets , capes and tabards were painted with

 

a first coat of mechrite red ( foundation paints)

a wash of scorched brown

a mix of mechrite red and bleached bone for the highlights

 

the silver ornaments were painted with

a first coat of boltgun metal

then black ink

then mithril silver

 

Any other question?

feel free to ask!

I have to ask though; are those old plastic Daleks on top of that 'Raider?

 

YOU WIN BROTHER!!!

yes these are indeed the old GW doctor Who´s daleks .

 

The use of the old figures isn´t right according to the fluff, but I wanted to finally use my collection of old armors marines ^_^
