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 think 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 came so 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.  AS usal C&C 's very welcome!  El JuJu Kaleb Daark ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137484-adeptus-custodes-army/page/3/#findComment-2776127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Great to see you back KD B) Â The new paint scheme is lovely, gives a real sense of depth to the metallics - I like it! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137484-adeptus-custodes-army/page/3/#findComment-2776444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 By no means were you a bad painter when you first started your Custodes, but the new models do look great! Â Those Sisters of Silence look tremendous. You've managed to hide those Dark Eldar very well. I'll definitely be watching for more. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137484-adeptus-custodes-army/page/3/#findComment-2776452 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  El JuJu Kaleb Daark Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137484-adeptus-custodes-army/page/3/#findComment-2781654 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleb Daark Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Allright! Now that Forge World's gonna produce Heresy figures, I just got to finish this army before it's completely obsolete and/or inadequate!  Since the Grey knights came out i've been "upgrading" the army,modified some heads,arms,weapons and détails here and there. Some you might not even see ( but that's just me, I really want it to like great)  As usual the pics are not great, but I'll try to make some better pics if some of you are interested.  Terminators were modified  Before  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSC01412.jpg Now  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN0964.jpg  The banner received more detail (I still haven't found the courage to get the freehand done) r All helmets were replaced with GK's paladins. All orgres blades on the halberdswere replaced with GK's.   There's only one left to be repainted.  I also finished converting my Winged rhino  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP3512.jpg  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP3513.jpg  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP3514.jpg  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP3515.jpg  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP3516.jpg  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/IMGP3517.jpg  Took me some time ( 40 rivets and a lot of bits) but i'm kinda proud of how it looks  And I started painting it  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN0961.jpg  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN0960.jpg  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN0962.jpg  I just started it's not finished There's still all downside, all the réactors alot of small details et the red still needs some work. But I like the general look even if it's not fluff/artwork accurate.  I was asked to post some army pictures  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN0968.jpg  I just have one, sorry! As you can see I still have a lot of paintjob to do.  I have a winged rhino to convert, a contemptor relic dreadnought , 2 Land raider Proteus armored to get and this'll be 3000 pts.  Plus there's only the count as Grey Knights part here, the count as Space Marines part is completely been reworked: All old models will be removed ( but i'll keep em because they were the one whichstarted thisarmy) which leaves twelve marines to be converted again, all of the helmets will be changed with GK's, another contemptor relic dreadnought will be added to replace my conversion, another terminator unit will be added and the current assault terminators (from left miniatures) will be replaced with my own conversion (so all the terminators will be the same general look).  Frankly I already started  Before  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/AdeptusCustodesterminators02.jpg  Today  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN0971.jpg  I still miss some parts as you can see. You'll also notice that I replaced the shields with scibor's. I must say I love the "wolverinesque" pose of the lightning claws sergeant.  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN0973.jpg  Finally , with all the latest forge world's land raiders, time has come to say goodbye to the old MKIIb i wasn't really satisfied with. Here it is with his replacement:  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN0956.jpg BTW the kit is great but the tracks are too long, kinda difficult to glue them correctly. Replacement which is very WIP  That's all for these midsummer news folks!  What do you think?  JuJu Kaleb Daark Get back to work you lazy punk!

Kaleb Daark Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hi Fire how have you been man?  Wolf; they will be but not now; they're not on the army list I need to get painted for December.  Now, the curved blades from the tomb kings were too "Thousand Sons" looking, and it was about time I made this change of blade I've been thinking of since the Grey Knights came out   http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN1057.jpg  These were made with GK marine halberd blades and aquilla wings from the bits that come with the IG véhicules. You'll also have to recut the bolter ( removing the handle under it) and move the canon up.I'll prepare an addendum to my previous tutorial if some are interested.  I find these are much better looking and closer to the artworks.  I already replaced 12, only 4 left to convert, and 5 are already repainted;  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN1056.jpg   here's what remains and will probably never be used again...  http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/kalebdaark/Custodes/DSCN1055.jpg  If somebody's interested, PM me for I still have at least 30 of these curved blades...  That's it for today. As usual C&C is MOST welcome  JuJu Kaleb Daark  my favorite books: "Why would I choose the easy way?" and " How to continuously modify your work so you'll NEVER finish it" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137484-adeptus-custodes-army/page/3/#findComment-3152330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleb Daark Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Mind if I copy them for my own Grey Knight ghost knights in the future?  Check with GW ;) I didn't scuplt these bits nor am I the inventor of anything here! So of course you can!    The gold on these models looks absolutely stunning. Any chance of the recipe? I'd love to be able to replicat it on my sanguinary guard!   You want you get; problem now is that I only use the previous citadel range and I don't have any idea of the new paints you could use instead (don't know them, haven't used 'em).... And I won't find out anytime soon since I made my reserves... :huh::Ptongue.gif  Anyway, here it is: _On a black under coat, First apply a mix of Dark Flesh and Shining Gold ( about 50/50) You should get a proper copper look.  _Then use Devlan Mud, don't be affraid to be "generous". This would tone down the red look of the first coat.  _Then use Shining Gold. Personnaly I try to respect zenithal lighting ( light source from above) so you still can spot shadowed places I left with the 2 first coats. Too much shining gold will ruin the job though IMHO.  _ THIS ONE IS OPTIONNAL; I only use it so I can get the gold more "yellowish", I use Prince August gold paint ref 999. This paint is kinda old and I think it might be OOP....  _ And Finally; apply a mix of Shining Gold and Mithril Silver (about 40/60%). You gotta be careful you still have some gold look left in the mix otherwise if it's too silver it would look kinda weird (IMHO).  Not sure I explained myself good (french remember) so if it's not clear enough don't hesitate to ask for more explanations  JuJu Kaleb Daark Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137484-adeptus-custodes-army/page/3/#findComment-3157136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
