Kaleb Daark Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 With the French Waaagh Day coming,I got back to the Custodes ( could never have finished 750pts of Alpha legion anyway :) ) I Have to finish 750 pts by 06/28, that means a commander, a 5 terminator squad and two 5 custodians squad These pics were taken yesterday afternoon, I got more job done since, in fact I only have the details left to do ( eyes, purity seals, tabards and freehands on the banners) Now the pics The Terminator Squad http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSC01412.jpg The two squads http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSC01415.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSC01406.jpg It won' t be included in the FWD army but I thought It was a good idea to show it to you all ( to get some advices for example :) ) The dreadnought http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSC01410.jpg He's of course far from beeing done .I thought I could add a bell above ( kinda like Dave Taylor did on one of his) I' m also working on another Emperor figure Here it is Hope you'll enjoy it Ju Kaleb Daark The Angelus Sanctus> you were right not to accept my resignation from the Call of the imperium, I only have to finnish 250pts now to complete my vow ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137484-adeptus-custodes-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snackes Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The Emperor finally got justice! At least his look. You can't seriously use the Emperor in a 750 points force? ;) He should be like 10k alone.

Na wasn't me i'm only a buyer on ebay ( for now) and this figure was made about a year and a half ago, the same firm did make another better version last christmas ( On which I'm working on right now) and the brown banner isn't done yet, it will of course have its freehand ( not sure though what I'll paint , a star or the eagle ,...)

Tyrannicide Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 These are some nice conversions. You've painted them to a high standard, and the Emperor is looking stylish! :) I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes, and especially seeing the next version of the Emperor.

ulrikk Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 They look very stunning. I have to say that this is by far the best gold I've ever seen done on an army.
