I prefer the first one. I'm pretty sure there's some art in Collected Visions, might even be for Valdor, that has him with a Mohawk. And yes, the EC minis are stunning (bar Fulgrims head).

 

Found it, it is Valdor:

That Custodes is looking absolutely mint. i was of the opinion that the AOS Liberators were a little too dumpy to be fit-ins, but that's gone a long way to changing my mind. Also it totally has to be the mohawk head, and I would personally try to avoid using more grizzled heads all round.

Good start with the spear. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Have you seen the new Eidolon model that's coming out? It's more and more likely I'm gonna pick up EC.

I was just going to say that I didn't like Eidolon's head and that it ruined the mini and then I saw this...

Sean Connery head!

 

Custodes don't strike me as the mohawk type.

Ha, Sean Connery, I didn't think of that :P Yeah, I picked the mohawked head as an option because of the Valdor art. I still can't decide on a head, and now i'm trying to make a Custodes helmet, but I'm not confident that it will turn out well.

Yeah, I chose the mohawked head because of this picture and the other Valdor art pieces :)

Thanks, bro! Yeah, the AoS minis are pretty bulky, at least compared to the Custodes art in Collected Visions. I suppose he'll just have to be a more beefed up version of the Custodes.

 

I'd go for the beard. Always the beard.

Hahaha, I had a full beard until a couple of weeks ago, so I can definitely respect the power of facial hair :P

 

The Custodes look great mate. Almost as if they were designed to be used by SM players. What's their size next to marine if you don't mind me asking

Yeah, it's almost as if GW are trying to raise sales by introducing their most successful range into all of their games... :P

 

Here is a comparison pic for you.

The mohawk!

Thanks for the vote, bro!

 

It's too bad you can't get him with a beard AND a mohawk . . . :cool.:

Nothing a little green stuff couldn't fix.

Shouldn't be too hard to put a Mohawk on the bearded head.

 

Haha, true, but i'm not sure how good it would look.

 

Great work brother, I've started building some sallies to take you down with so I'll bring the heat and you bring the bacon.

 

Can't wait to see moar!

Thanks, dude! Looking forward to seeing you working on some XVIII Legion :tu:

 

 

 

 

 

I've done a bit more work on the Custodes. I still need to finish off some of the details and fill a few gaps. I'm also trying to build a Custodes helmet, but I'm not very confident that it will turn out well enough to use.

 

Let me know what you think.

He looks awesome. I had originally thought the bearded head looked too old but it doesn't in that photo. I still vote Mohawk because it just looks like a Custode to me because of the aforementioned art.

That looks great next to an actual marine. I think the beefyness is due more to the odd squatting stance he's been sculpted in. If he was standing up straight he'd look very much in proportion (and also slightly taller than a marine, like all good Custodes should be :P ). Excited to see more and soon!

It's a cool conversion, especially with your lovely push molds. Question though, what are those little red balls you're using for gems? (Not sure if mentioned before or not)

Keep up the good work as always!

If I remember rightly, they're drops of PVA? The red is because he does a red dot to show where to put it. I think that's what I read earlier in the thread.
