Slave to Darkness Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thinking of knocking up a unit of Custodes to get rid of spare bits i got kickin round, was just wondering if swords had a 'bolter' attachment on as well, and is there any art of said weapons, all i can find are spears.

shandwen Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I believe in the fluff that they are all armed with spears that have bolters (or lazguns or something like that) built into them. Well, i guess their main weapon is the "Guardian Spear".

b1soul Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 just wondering if swords had a 'bolter' attachment on as well, and is there any art of said weapons, all i can find are spears. Yes...I distinctly remember a Custodes sword with a bolter attachment a la Guardian Spear I can't recall which source. Could be one of the audios, Sword of Truth I believe.

SW1 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 The old metal grey knights had a spear and also a sword option. Will have a look see if I can locate the sword in by bits. It might be stuck in a jar being stripped at the moment. Edit: can't find them but I'd use the old lead grey knights weapons if you can locate them to base the custode weapons off.

High Marshal Marcus Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Found this http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/thumb/5/5c/Custode_Legionaries.jpg/300px-Custode_Legionaries.jpg Well this answered the question perfectly does it not? Being said... this art makes the weapon look quite ridiculous and not practical.

Being said... this art makes the weapon look quite ridiculous and not practical. Let us know if you make a conversion :) It's 40K. The whole concept is to be ridiculous and impractical. And that's what is awesome. As long as it follows the theme of "grim and dark", it doesn't have to be "practical" or even "possible".

SW1 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Found the old oop grey knights weapons will take a pic later. Think they'd be good weapons to match the custodes weapons.

Coops Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 In the Garro Audio book "Sword of Truth" the Custodian guard character is armed with a sword bolter if memory serves me right. How are you getting on with this? Have you put anything together yet?
