Angels_Blade Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hi everyone, long time no post... Here are my latest edition to my ever growing Heresy era Dark Angels army. Made mostly from Sanguinairy Guard with heads from Scibor. As my first real attempt at gold armour I'm quite pleased although the pictures seem to have sapped some of the depth from them. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL382521.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL382524.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL382546.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL382547.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL382549.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/SL382552.jpg I plan to do a few more 5 man units and maybe a terminator squad to be counts as Grey Knights C&C very welcome Cheers AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viray Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Lost depth or no, they still look freaking awesome. Nice work. I especially like the fourth Custode though I really can't say for sure why. I guess his pose just feels right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_Blade Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks He's my favourite too! He was a bugger to build though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Validar Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 :tu::jaw::P AWESOME! I really like everything from the feel to the conversion to the paintjob! Tell me everything! What parts did you use (sang guard, PA GK, command squad bolter, masters of the chapter?), how you painted them, a link to where you got the heads, etc.! Very well done, custodes is really a personal favorite in the 40k universe, well done and consider the idea stolen on spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_Blade Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 I've done a mini tutorial on The Great Crusade if it helps LINK Here is the link to the heads LINK Thanks for the kind comments guys Cheers AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Sweet! The converted Chapter Master/captain/important-dude (the first guy) is the coolest of the lot in my opinion. Nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Those are awesome. I like the first one best, just something about his pose that I really like. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Awesome models. I really like the first and last ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epistolary_Kalphanian Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 They're fantastic, well done. A few more eagle decorations would have been nice (the champion pauldrons are a bit bland in this case), but given how good they look regardless I'm sure that's only a minor gripe.

The Normish Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 If I knew where Clitheroe was in the U.K., I'd come over there and shake your hand (and then steal your models, haha). Those are really nice, some of the best Custodes I've seen in a while. How did you make the halberds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I've always liked the custodes Guard after Dave Taylor did his Sweet army he just recently sold off. I took one peek at them in WD, and was in Awe! you good sir have me in awe with you custodes guard as well. great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels_Blade Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thanks everyone. I'm really pleased with them but they are really easy to do. I can't greenstuff at all so it's just kit bashing. If you follow the link in my post above there is a tutorial to make a guardian spear you just need a bit of brass rod (1mm), a pin vice and a sharp scalpel. I've got parts for 7 more. Do you think I should make another squad? or maybe some jetbikers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Jetbikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Very, very nice indeed. One suggestion though, if I may; the eyes are simply black spaces at present and I find my attention isn't drawn to the face, so much as the crest. Do the heads allow for the painting of eyes easily? If so, you should certainly paint them in. Red would seem obvious, but you might wish to consider purple as it would draw the eye in. You could then use it a spot colour on gems and the like. It might just add an additional dimension to them. To be honest though, they are really good as they are, so you could get away with leaving them!

Fire Lord Captain Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Holy Mother of mercy! those are awesome!! The first and fourth are my faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Those are truly superb! The first and fourth are my favourites; the first is like "Yeah I'm bad ass what you going to do?" and the fourths pose reminds me of a scene from The First Heretic.

Validar Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 by all means, leave the eyes black! This gives the impression that the eyes are actually not covered by a visor, but only covered by the helm itself. This is awesome. Very awesome. So I'd say keep it black! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPetersson Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 They look absolutely amazing, but I must admit that I'm conflicted about the 'bolter-onna-stick'... It looks a bit... I dunno... comical maybe, but at least somwehow wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
