Constantin Valdor, Captain-General of the Legio Custodes

[Tzen]

I have recently been painting Constantin Valdor. My mother passed away very recently due to Covid 19, and in order to occupy my brain I have really been working away at painting.

This is a very busy model, but it's a pretty amazing purely because it is who it is. It would be great to paint up the Emperor if Forge World ever release a model for him.

My condolences, Tzen. :(

 

Excellent work on a very busy model.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your mother; condolences. One of the wonderful aspects of our hobby is the ability to escape real life issues, if only for a little while.

Very sorry for your loss, Tzen. The model is beautiful.

[Tzen]

Thanks chaps, life is  pretty rubbish at the moment, losing myself in the hobby!

 

Glad you like the mini though!

[Skywrath]

Very sorry to hear that, the Grey Knights send their condolences as well.. *sends a psychic impression of hope and love*. The model itself is beautiful, so much so, I am tempted to buy it and use it in my 40k games as either Trajann or a Shield-Captain. You did a fine job, sir.

It looks great, however I can't tell if the blade is blue or purple from the pics ?

My Condolences for your loss  . 

The model rocks mega!! it looks like you poured a lotta energy into this one and it shows   that cape is superb   and the base colour complements the figure.

 

Cheers, Mithril

You have my condolences, Tzen. 

 

Valdor looks amazing. 

[Inquisitor lorr]

My sincerest condolences, I can’t even begin to imagine.

 

The paint job is absolutely superb - I think this may be your finest work (that I have seen) to date. Where do you rank it personally amongst your own work?

[QuarterPounder]

I'm so sorry to hear that, Tzen... our thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

Thanks for sharing this incredible mini - the quality of this guy blows me away!

[Tzen]

Thanks again for the condolences chaps, very much appreciated. And I am glad you like the model.

I think he is "okay". He is a gaming piece for when and if I ever actually get round to painting my Custodian army. There's a lot on him that I don't like. But I am happy with it. :D 

[StraightSilver]

So sorry for your loss.

 

Valdor looks awesome though. I also find painting a good way to "step out" as well.

[mega_marines]

My favorite Valdor I’ve seen thus far. Absolutely incredible work.

[Tzen]

Thanks Mega Marines! :D

Sorry to hear about that bud. I lost my mother a couple days before this past Christmas and I too have been painting when I can. Keep moving forward

Oh man that’s a gorgeous paint job! Fit for a hero of the imperium such as Valdor
