Inquisitor Engel Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Fantastic, I've toyed with doing some Custodes as stand-in GK's for my Imperial Fists, based on Terra and all that. These are fantastic - did you use the Dave Taylor method or something different? And who is this Velard chap?

Kaleb Daark Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi there Horusundivided: Yes I did use a mix of chesnut ink and gryphone sepia Brother champion wulox: I'll try to get a picture and the link's here: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/Left-Miniatures/album/20294/ Inquisitor Engel: Both infact, Dave taylor's Army was a great inspiration but since I CAN'T scuplt nor (at that time) use plasticard I found my own way. As you'll see down here Dyp100: I'll prepare another tutorial on painting gorgeo5: Yes I will I'll see about that For those of us that read and droolled on the Horus Heresy artbooks, that wanted to build an Adeptus Custodes army, But can't scuplt even a snowman with GS; Here's How I did mine. I must warn you though You should have a Huge bits box (or bank account) ... 1: what you need http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/01cequilfaut.jpg 1 plastic marine commander's cape 2 Dark Angel veteran legs 3 Space marine arms (chaos or loyalist it won't matter) 4 High elf spears ( most of the time you'll only need one but you know) 5 Winged Skull Icon from the HQ marine squad 6 Winged Icon from the HighElves Spearmen 7 hands from the Chaos warriors 8 Marine shoulder pads 9 spiky bits from the chaos warrios 10 a bolter 11 Chaos marine back pack 12 A Tomb Kings Sword ( can get it with either the squelettons of chariots) 13 A High Elves Silver Helms head 14 This Chaos marime helmet ( to get the plumet) not show the front of a marine torso ( the MK8 plate aldeardy has the collar but any thing can do) 2: What you can also use http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/03variantescasques.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/02variantescapes.jpg These capes are from the Empire Plastic general and High Elves archers These Heads are from the High elves Spearmen and Chariot (the chariot ones already have the plumet) but remember both are abit smaller . The legs can also be replaced with regular or chaos marine legs You can also use Dark Elves spearmen spears For the marines shoulder pads..... just use what you can get your hands on 3: Let's play http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/04corpsetjambes.jpg Cut out the back of the torso from The DA legs and glue the cape and front torso together http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/05brasetlance1.jpg The tricky part is the hands and spear .... start with gathering what you'll need then cut out the forearms and hands and the weapons from the Chaos warriors hands(7) . Then cut a part of the spear ( approx 1,5 cm) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/06brasetlance2.jpg If you don't want your Custodian to fall into pieces each time you touch it ( belive me it really happens) Drill the hands through and use whatever thin metal rod you can get. You'll also have to drill the middle spear bits on 2mm each side Then cut the right arm just under the shouder ( he ain't be holding a bolter ) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/07positionnerlesbras.jpg Now you'll have to position everything and see how this gets together you'll need several attemps before getting a satisfying result http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/08oncollelesmains.jpg Once you'll get the above stated satisfying result glue the hands and middle spear on ( again think drilling ....) And glue the legs too you'll see what the general pose of the figure will be . http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/09tailledelalance.jpg Now cut 2 other bits of the spear IMO the lenght of the High Elves spear is quite good you can use that to make sure your Custodians have the same lenghted spear http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/10onrajoutelebolteretlalame.jpg Glue the bolter on the spear, Then the Tomb Kings blade (12 ) and the chaos spiky bit (9) on the bolter. And glue the pads on. Take the winged skull icon (5) cut out one wing and glue it on the right shoulderpad, (5) (note you might have to dremmel it a bit inside to make it fit well)) Now if oyu didn't use a Mk8 Front plate ( just like here) you might wanna add a collar ( it will hide the flesh part of the Silver Helm head...): A small bit of plasticard 1cm long and 2 or 3mm high that you'll glue on.... http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/11latete.jpg Now glue the Silver Helm Head (13) on which you'll glue the chaos marine plumet (14) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/12backpack01.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/13backpackmont.jpg We're almost there, the back pack You cut the High Elves winged Icon (6)in 2 ( cut out the gem) and glue them on the Chaos marine back pack (11) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/14Etvoil.jpg Glue the backpack on , a base, Et voilà ! It might seem long and tricky (sometimes boring even) but when you love....

Sigismund Himself Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hey kaleb daark, the Custodes tutorial is definitely good enough to go in the Librarium. If you submit it, we'll put it into the Librarium. If you're unsure of how to submit it, follow our convenient Dummy's Guide.

rabblerouser Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Awesome... I love everything but that winged rhinoNot too sure about that one.. Why not? It's a very accurate model from the Custodian Rhino in the art books. I know. I just don't like the idea of a flying rhino. It fits with the fluff, but the problem is that the whole standard template construct idea came about because when citadel started producing plastic tank kits they wanted to get the most use out of the rhino molds. Fair enough... i guess you could modify a slab-sided troop transport with a missile launcher array or hollow it out and stuff in a huge cannon. Then you move on to the predator variant that starts looking silly with the sloped armor on the turret that doesn't match anything else. Up from there is the flying rhino, which doesn't look like it would ever work.

ChaplainMathreyn Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 What a kick butt army! I really like how your Gold came out. That Custodes Centurion model is pretty pimp, too. But totally kick butt army. You gotta post up the finished force (And I gotta get a drool protector for meh keyboard before you do...)

Kaleb Daark Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi everybody! No I'm not dead, just very busy. Anyway I decided a few month ago to get back at my custodes (The New Grey knights codex helped a lot ) I never really liked the gold I gave 'em, it wasn't warm enough and the red wasn't better. So I decided to experiment a new paint scheme: here's what I came up with: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1810.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1813.jpg I also tried harder on the freehands http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1811.jpg Ok that's no GD winner material but I must say that I definitely prefer the new paint scheme and I thinker my painting skills have improved a bit. Old look http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSC01406-1.jpg New look http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1814.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1818.jpg Also with the new dark eldar minis out I decided to give the sisters of silence a second try. I'm planning as using them as scouts in the SM codex part of the army. Here's the first one: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1928.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1930.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1931.jpg The Squad leader http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1932.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1933.jpg and another one http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1926.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1927.jpg 2 more were made one regular and one with heavy bolter (but my camera isn't working at the moment so you'll have to wait for them to be painted) And finnally I decided to try to improve the winged rhino look. I wanted to keep most of the general look I got with the first one (which in the end will also be updated) hut improve it (essentially with using more GW bits and less plasticard). This is still WIP but here where I cameso far: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1944.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1943.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1946.jpg It's still missing it's stabiler fans (I plan on using the drop pod's ) and some wiring. Plus the rear spoiler kinda like this: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP1947.jpg I'm still working on it. 'hope it'll look as good as Angel_Blade's El JuJu Kaleb Daark :) Not here very often but still Heresy Era fanatic!

Aegnor Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Great stuff. Amazing conversions throughout this thread. I actually really liked the first gold mix, at least based on the photos here. I also liked the first flying Rhino conversion, so far as the idea of a flying Rhino goes. Had a definite "roads? Where we're going we don't need roads" flying Delorean vibe. The newer one looks awesome as well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/129584-wip-adeptus-custodes-army/page/2/#findComment-2776617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Daark Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hi guys! Got a little 4 days vacation so I got to work! I got a bit carried away on the last bladed sisters of silence, I undercoatedthem before taking a picture.. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2026.jpg I know there's no way to see clearly anything ... sorry By the way I decided to use the silver paint scheme ( close to the GK's one). The shoulderpad's first coat was just a test. Now the sniper scouts sergeant /Vindicare assassin (depending ont the codex I use) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2022.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2023.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2024.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2025.jpg I must say that i'm fairly proud of it , although I still looks a bit too dark eldarish yet, i'm confident the paintjob will make it better. Alittle something that will go on the other Land Raider's roof: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2027.jpg Some update on my Constantin Valdor http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2029.jpg Yeah I know They never said he wore a terminator armor but again they never said he didn't.. :) ^_^ And finally some PIP pics of the current Land Raider http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2030.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2031.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2035.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP2034.jpg it's of course far from beeing done That's it ...yet! ;) As usual C&C is most welcome Iron_Adam: in fact this project began 6 years ago just after I took a look at Dave Taylor's awesome army....

Phebrickid Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 WOW, great custodes - I hope you might do another update before the turn of the century ;) lovin' these custodes, another bookmark I guess (my favourites is really getting full since I found the B+C !) I've got all sorts of pre-heresy ideas whirring round my head at the moment including custodes and SoS, where are those Sisters of Silence heads from? they look like a single piece resin rather than a conversion . . . p.s. the guy with the eagle on his back - his sword is just awesome :drool: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/129584-wip-adeptus-custodes-army/page/2/#findComment-2795442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Daark Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 forgotten soul: I never read that in any book or anywhere else. But I can't really see your point. Most artwork picture them smaller and thinner than the custodians. Phebrickid: No resin here; It's just some dark eldar warriors heads ( the old ones) : the bare head and the one with spikes on each side.
