Adeptus Custodes


Recommended Posts

if we said the guardsman is 5'6"... that would make the custodes what? 7', 7'6"? your guardsman basicly comes up to the guy's arm pit. though the helmet makes your dude look taller.

 

seriously though... when i saw the first group shot, all red and gold, did anyone else expect the lead guy to be modeled putting his boot in someone's chest and screaming?

Till i do the rest of the Custodes, i need to do something else not to get bored...

would you prefer to see:

a) Custodes Termis

:D The Emperor

c) Landraider

first?

I would much rather see The Emperor himself be painted. :unsure:

 

You're models are amazing. I think not that their heads are too small. I saw a picture of a chaos space marine on Warseer on a poster for UKGD and his head was real tiny. Also, looking at Capt. Uriel Ventris' head on the cover of "Dead Sky, Black Sun" his head is not quiet proportionate to his entire body. So basing from that I disagree saying their heads are tiny. They look just right to me.

I thought so too. haha :sweat:

As i was waiting for the size comparison issue, i prepared a lil pic:

These minis are exactly in scale. The markings are half a meter apart.

I assume the imp to be 1.80M (6 feet ?) tall. That would mean the Custodes to be about 2.50M (about 8 feet ?).

Imho thats perfect sizing. 'Nuff said.

 

 

whats:

 

"would be FRKN awesome" ? Im just trying to learn that casual english.

So what? I'll model such a guy... u mean a Custodes stepping on someone? or kicking someone? or stabbing someone and stepping on him to get the weapon out of the chest?

Gimme the idea, i'll give u the model :-P

Excellent work so far, the NMM is definetly worth the extra time painting. As far as their height goes I think they look better this way, dwarfing over normal men suits space marines and custodes much better than being just slightly taller than them.

I think they were refering to the movie 300. But I like your idea of stepping on someone to remove the weapon

*fall on his knees and bends his head to honout the passing by custodians*

i like them

what i would like to see first would be the terminators

than the landraider,you are going to make this large enought for te alrge custodians to really fit in it?(this is why i would make the termies first,so you can fit them in too=) )

and as the cerry on the pie i would make the emperor,him proudbly costing the most effort and time=)

good luck with them

I'm just about doing the Emperor, and i'm about 50%. I'll get him done tomorrow, if mankind is lucky. Sorry for the bw pic, want you to see the posing, but no detail yet :-)

 

My question:

 

How do you find the Pose?

Nothing is glued together at the moment.

 

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0255.jpg

Should i let him stay that way? looking far away...?

Or would you prefer the claw pointing at the horizon?

Or the sword higher?

Or the Emperor looking down?

Or anything else?

 

Before somone asks... I can only add the long hair last, when the tabbard and head positioning aso is done.

By the way... what would you imagine beeing painted on the Tabbard?

In terms of balance I'd say it was good. Calm and regal would be how I'd describe it.

The Eye of Terra! Or the ubiqitous Eagle I guess.

think they are one of the best custodes armie ive seen of them. On the australian website and they were hot but these are better got the collect visions in front of me and on page 148 he has thin legs so i think they are in preportion

PS any chance of eagle headed flamers :lol:

Excellent work so far! If you could mass-produce those.... I would buy ALOT.

 

IMO, it would have been cooler to see the Custodes Terminators first.... a leadup to the Emperor.

I would say either an Imperial Aquila or (i don't own the books.. sigh) some really awsome symbol you dig up out of theHH books. Like his personal heraldry or something.

 

Speaking of which, what rules will you use to represent him?

 

Overall, I really like your work. These are the kind of guys who stare you down and go, "what?!?"

On your knees, mortal man !

 

The emperor is nearly finished, i'll add a tabbard and details in his face.

He will be played as "ghost of the emperor" or "mental incarnation of the emperor", so that i don't change the history of the empire when he's hit by a lascan.

Would you prefer a light effect from the inside of the armor or from his head?

And do you have an example of the emperors personal heraldry ?

 

 

What do you wanna see next?

Termies? Raider? Malcador? Sisters? Jetbikes?

 

PS any chance of eagle headed flamers

 

OF COURSE! nothing else is possible. :wink:

Wow... how do you sculpt the features that stand free from the model? Like the way the eagle just pops out of the shoulder armor?

 

Honestly, my vote goes for some Sisters of Silence... I'm loving your Adeptus Custodes work but I'd like to see what you could do with them.

 

Regards,

Tarath

maybe count him as a custodian,possesed by the emperors's spirit?and have his eyes having a glowing effect?

when you do count it as a ghost,have the light effect from the inside of the armour and his head,so it's like his armour came to life

Bah. A lascannon wouldn't even scratch the armour of His Holiness. For the sake of balance however, say the lascannon sorted out the servos. He's not dead yet!

 

And these are looking absolutly brilliant. And that is insulting them. Words cannot quite describe the sheer awesomeness of them. Keep it up!

 

P.S. The proportions look fine!

With all these glorious emperor models, you inspire me to create my emperor vision: A half blown apart life support connected torso.

 

Traitor ftw.

 

Also, I'd kill to be able to sculpt like you

Thats the emperor after a 3 hour armor painting. All details are still to do, if course.

 

he'll get much more swirls and lines aso. to give him more details, and i'll add in some red Jewels and small silver elements.

The pics are not very good, he's overall darker than it seems here.

More probably tomorrow.

C&C welcome.

 

Who knows the personal symbol of the emperor? I need it for the tabbard.... Please help - its your damn duty, he's the emperor after all.
