Custodes , the Emperors golden boys

[Lord La sadies]

Hi,

 

I'm Chris and I'm a huge fan of all things Custodes. I'm excited to show off my army, which includes both Horus Heresy and 40K models. To begin, I'd like to introduce you to my shield captain, who has been converted from an Ixion Hale model. He's a fierce warrior and a key member of my Custodes force. I've spent a lot of time and effort building and painting him, and I'm really proud of how he's turned out. I hope you enjoy getting to know him as much as I have!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Again, excellent work.

[Inquisitor lorr]

Those are all absolutely brilliant!

[Maschinenpriester]

Sure thing , its scale 75 dwarven gold , shade rinox hide higthligths scale citrina

 

 

Next we have my big chunky boys

I think the heavy flamers are better paired with storm shields; lightning claws are better paired with weapons intended for use in close combat, e.g., pistols.

 

Nonetheless, good job on the models.

Wow, I really struggle to get a really good transition when using my scale 75 metallic paints. Your miniatures look gorgeous. Clearly there's a lot more work here than simply layering each colour on. Great work.

Love the gold on your models; excellent work.

Awesome looking minis.  Gold looks good.

Beautiful work Chris. I've painted 3 of my own Custodes armies up and have always tweaked my gold recipe each time to give a different look ranging from 'brand new' to 'years of hard service'. I really like your take on the hyper clean look!

 

I love that pose in your conversion character. Just a great... almost "Qui-Gon-esque' duelist pose. Just awesome!

Beautiful work on the Contemptor.

[Brother Kraskor]

If I faced this beautiful army on the table I would not be able to bring myself to do anything in the Shooting phase. For surely it would be treason against the Emperor to deny them death in glorious melee.

Are you calling the Contemptor-Achillus a bad model?
