ferris Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 It would be a finishing touch if you could add the trail of his names. All Adeptus Custodes get a name for everything they do. It would be cool to have a little free hand trailing inside of his armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry_hhh Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 this is sweet ,is that an old 2nd ed metal cape? maybe wash the creases of his cape to darken them a touch , ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtyten Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 damn, people are critical. I think its awesome. made any other custodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Conrad Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Nice model, love the markings on the cloak, although i usually dislike SMs without a helmet on this one works well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferris Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I guess I should have added that I do indeed think it is a fantastic model and the painting is superb. I just would have loved to see that extra bit of detail for people who read the fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Also he could do with more thunderbolts :tu: Lovely model though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painkiller Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Love the model, great kitbash and conversion! May I ask where you got the backpack from? I really like the gold armour, but I have to agree with Barry, that a bit more attention to the cape would make this figure really awesome! Got any more custodes planned? Sincerely, Painkiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m14xx1 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 What kind if sword did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 What I really like about this is that he doesn't make me think "Blood Angel", even though most of his bits are exactly that. Excellent work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacho Wolf Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Love it, Valdor is one of my fav characters in 40k and its good someone can do him justice, I certainly cant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Lovely model! Best version of Valdor I have seen yet! lol I didn't even look to see who had made this one - Dargor you swine :P, another awesome model to add to your brilliant collection!!!

Jarl Bloodwolf Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 How ironic. You used a Space Wolf head on a model whose fluff states that he fought alongside the Space Wolves on Prospero :) great model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirax Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I love it! I've done something very similar, but nowhere near as awesome!! :) Could you possibly just do a small Tut. on the Custodial Spear please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaemonPrinceDargor Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Thanks to all of you guys! I know of the traditon of the Custodes and their many many names (being a pre-heresy fanatic and all ;) ) but considering that i have to paint 3000 pts of Blood Angels by September for the TF Scouring weekend,the cape will have to do.For now at least... Painkiller,The cape and backpack are from the old 2nd edition metal captain.The bit on top is a brutally chopped up Sanguinary Guard helmet. Skirax,The spear made using the power axe from the Sanguinary Guard box,a normal bolter with the back part cut off where the casing starts and the blade part of the Chaos Terminator Reaper Autocannon.The scope is from the Tactical squad sprue.Finally,the little halo/start on the back of the spear is from the Fanstasy Chaos Knights sprue(from the mace arm i think). Wolf Lord Mjolnir, :P I do have plans for 3 or 4 Custodes Cataphracti Terminators to accompany Lord Valdor to battle... Cheers! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Scipio Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Great paintjob. The haircut is not fitting at all, and the weapon is to large, but otherwise a fine job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 great conversion and use of some clssic bits there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnDyzZzoRe Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Great paintjob. The haircut is not fitting at all, and the weapon is to large, but otherwise a fine job. If Youve seen the artwork for Valdor, he does have a mohawk pretty much exactly like this head, without some greenstuff this head is pretty much perfect for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainForge Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Great conversion and painting. It would not hurt my feelings if GW came out with Custodes. Even a small playable unit like the Legion of the Damn would be ever so nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall_Brant Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Great paint job. The haircut is not fitting at all, and the weapon is to large, but otherwise a fine job. If You've seen the artwork for Valdor, he does have a mohawk pretty much exactly like this head, without some green stuff this head is pretty much perfect for him Here's the proof: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:Constantin_Valdor.jpg Granted he isn't exact, but he's damn close. Now I too wanna make a band of Custodies. My reason: for the sheer hell of it. If any branch of GW was to make the Custodies it'd better be Forge World. Only they can give them the proper respect the deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I think he looks awesome, one of the best models on this site. My only problem is that he looks like he isn't aware that the rock ends in front of him. :P "DIE TURNCOAT BASTAAAAAAAAAGH!" *splat* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguen Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Ohh Likey! nice conversion! Now for a question that blade on the staff bolter thingie... where is it from? I have seen it used or something like on quite a few conversions here, but I cannot place where it is from, cause I wants to use such myself for a few heretic conversions of a chaosy nature.

Valtonis Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 damn, people are critical.I think its awesome. made any other custodes? well, people can only improve if they get constructive criticisms. just saying "OMG it is Awesome!!!" doesn't help them much except maybe to fan their ego. i personally would prefer people giving critiques and constructive criticisms on how to improve on something rather than people just saying that what i did was perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
