Sete Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 So I'm planning to use Mephiston as a literal son of the Emperor, or a sensei. Using a Custodes model as a base what bits could I add? Head: maybe one of the Stormcast barehead? Weapon: will Guillimans sword be too big for this purpose? Shoulder pads: Sanguinary Guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppyred Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I think that the stormcast vanguard-hunters have a bare head that would be perfect for your project. Guillimans sword is longer than a Custode is tall, so mabye a little big, try maybe a greay knight force sword with some GS flames. As for pads I think that Sanguinary guard pads would look small on a custodes body, personaly I would stick with the custode pads. This sounds like a great project I love the old sensei fluff from The Lost And The Damned, will you be doing a whole warband? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyD4rkPassenger Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The fire sword from the Fantasy battle wizard box might fit the bill, and I agree the vanguard have some fantastic bare heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 I will just be doing 1 guy to "lead" a group of Custodes and assorted Imperium forces. (Just brainstorming during my holidays.) I would like to add a couple more details to make him a bit different from the regular Custodes. GK terminator sword is a great option. I don't need the flaming details tbh. Head maybe the one with long hair. A shame that SG shoulder pads are a bit smaller. Just need to get an iron halo, the Custodes kit has a cape. What else could I add to give him a bit of personality?

choppyred Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Master-Crafted Miniatures make some good 3rd party pads and if you go for the large ones they would be the right size for custodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkeo Nox Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Oh oh ! I haven't been there for a while ! Seems we have some good heresy over here ! I think Guilliman is a realy good base, you have the size, the sword, ... just add Cusodes bitz and you will be good to go :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 The fire sword from the Fantasy battle wizard box might fit the bill, and I agree the vanguard have some fantastic bare heads. It might be a touch small for Custodes. I used that sword for my own Mephiston conversion using mostly Sanguinary Guard bitz. I'm not sure how SG stack up against Custodes as I've never seen a Custodes model in the flesh, but here's how that sword looks on a Sanguinary Guard body: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
