wow buds she is a beast of great beauty

I never liked the venator but yours certainly looks good.

[Marshal Rohr]

You are an exceptional painter kizz.

[Brother Heinrich]

Crisp, clean, and pristine. As usual man. Only quip is just that the last photo is a little washed out, but that's photography stuff, nothing to do with your painting.

That is one big ol' purple penis tank, love it!

 

:p

:p

The grubby is strong with this one

[01RTB01]

Fab venator! What's next on the list? You're not allowed to stop painting EC!

 

Thanks to my daughter's two hour nap on Sunday morning I've about finished my kakophoni I just need some 32mm bases and to decide blood splattering or not...

[Kizzdougs]

There's the coil with the cables going into it or the little rectangular areas along the barrel.

Yeah, I had a look online and saw some awesome paint jobs that people have done their Venators in regards to the glowing effect. It can look great, but I'm not really confident that I could pull it off convincingly.

 

Wow man, that white panel is so pure and shiny, you have really outdone yourself.

Thanks a lot, bro!

 

while it looks absolutely gorgeous, I just cant help but feel that its missing something to make it "pop".

 

Maybe use some white decals just to add a tiny bit more character to the model.

Yeah, I need to have a proper look to see if I can fit some EC decals on it somewhere. I've had a quick look but couldn't think of anything.

Thanks! A couple have people have said that now. It's a nice feeling when someone likes the work you've done even though they don't like the mini itself. I had a few similar comments when I painted the Deredeo.

Thanks, dude! :)

Thanks, bro! Yeah, I was in a bit of a rush when I took the photos, and didn't take the time to get the lighting right for the last pic.

Hahaha, hopefully I can role well on the penetration table...

Thanks, dude! I've just started on a couple of Quad Mortars. Hopefully I'll have some progress to share tomorrow. 

Congrats on finishing the Kakophoni! My first thought would be to not to add any blood. I don't really think blood would contrast very well with the EC scheme, plus it's too easy to get carried away with blood splatters. If you do decide to add some blood remembered that less is more :tu:

[01RTB01]

Thanks for the thoughts. My kakophoni have some traditional EC colours but I did them with every adjacent armour panel having different colours. I'm quite pleased with them. I followed the comments from fulgrim and Angel exterminatus.

[Kizzdougs]

Just a quick WIP of the Quad Mortars. The first mortar has been base coated, washed, and the metallics have been highlighted. The second mortar has only been base coated and washed. I'm still working on the crew to make them fit in with the rest of my warriors.

Sounds good, bro! Glad to hear that you're happy with how they turned out. Hopefully it inspires you to get some more finished :tu:

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

[GhostMalone]

Dude thats not cool

 

How can I compete against those

[Kizzdougs]

Finished the Rapiers, just the crew left to paint.

Last time I checked this wasn't a competition. Everyone is a winner in the 31st millennium. I appreciate the sentiment though :tu:

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

[AlphariusOmegon108]

Woah.. Niiice

[GrandMagnus]

Cool guns, man. I love those models from Forge World.

[Kizzdougs]

Thanks dudes!!

 

 

Now for a change of pace. I felt like having a go at building another Custode, so I picked up a box Stormcast Eternal Paladins and built this dude this evening. The Helmet and shoulder pads still need work, but I'm already more happy with this version than my first attempt a couple of months ago.

I originally made the helmet for the fist Custode that I built, but it just didn't seem to fit. I think it fits much better with the scale of the new mini (he is about a head taller than Custode MkI).

I'd love to hear what you think of Custode MkII :)

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

[AlphariusOmegon108]

HOLY :cuss

 

WOWWW, I am... wow dude.. That is impressing

[Olis]

I think they look, with a minimum of fuss, like 'real' Custodes. Very nice work. :tu:

[Marshal Rohr]

Well. That's probably the coolest thing ever made.

[Checkmate]

That is one impressive helmet! Excellent work.

[Quixus]

Excellent work. I only wonder if he would be a bit large compared to marines and other Imperial personnel.

[KrautScientist]

Brilliant work! But then, that is what we have come to expect from you ;)

 

You are right, though: He is even better than your first attempt, mostly because the model seems to move further beyond the Stormcast Eternals look and firmly into Custodes territory. Very cool!

 

One question, though: What is that small, rectangular "slot" above the eyes -- is something missing there...?

[thamier]

gotta agree, that custodian rocks, great job mate

[Brother Heinrich]

Damn dude. Damn.

[paz]

10/10, would protect the emperor again.

[Nomus Sardauk]

Perfection... That is all. :)
