duz_ Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi All!I have not ventured into this forum much despite owning a few Inquisitors, I usually keep them more aligned with my IG collection and WIP as they generally don't have their own retinue. I had been holding out for a dedicated Custodes subforum and now with the release of the new FW Beta rules for ALL the units I've decided now is the time to start this thread. I do have a fairly reasonable collection so far, albeit mostly unpainted. I blame that on deciding to go with the Solar Watch colour scheme... The guys have sooo much detail... I do think it is worth it in the end. My hobby goals for this year are to finish some random guard projects I haven't completed and then focus on getting a painted and playable Custodes army. Some pic's of my collection so far My initial purchase I actually have Trajann at a semi decent TT quality, but apparently not uploaded any pics of him yet I've built most my bikes! Although I do have 1-2? boxes left to build since I did these... My first bike and scheme testing, Vallejo colours helped me achieve the ivory and gold I wanted The Terminators are possibly some of my most favourite models in 40k atm And this is essentially my only fully painted model in a year or so of collecting... My xmaspresent from last year Which is now doubly so thanks for FW's release today! He's already washed, ready to assemble and magnetise Over the long weekend last week I managed to build 10 Custodians to finish of my battalion requirement I already had assembled and magentised 1 box, these guys I didn't bother with Local store had a 40-50% clearance sale on GW the other week picked up some more models that I probably didn't need... Hopefully will order some of the new Venatari soon too Having finally kicked off this thread, I hope it spurs me more to finish this army sooner! And for those wondering Magos Valkamar, calgar101, librisrouge and 11 others 12 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildweasel Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I have a full 10 strong squad of Allarus (plus Shield Captain and Vexilla Praetor) and they are silly fun. Especially once you bust out Unleash The Lions. There's a reason my LVO Narrative is list basically built around them :) duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/#findComment-5241826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Well at the sale the Allarus were 40% off... So now I have 3 boxes of them :D :sweat:I visited a friend in Seattle last summer and borrowed his army to play a few games. It was a bucket load of fun! I found some pics of Trajann: He's actually standing next to a not FW Contemptor.... that is probably the last not FW model I'm going to purchase... the details on it sucked and was badly miscast it hasn't progress much further than that photo Some shots of my first Custodians being readied for magnets They were actually fairly easy to do Prot and BLACK BLΠFLY 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/#findComment-5241832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildweasel Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 The army in general is SUPER fun to play. Every single one is a bad ass, but every single model lost hurts. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/#findComment-5241837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 I run Trajann for narrative games - he is truly a beast. Trajann even at his previous point price was a beat stick! I'd literally march him up the middle of the field, he'd tank any hit the wreak havoc later! With his adjusted points he's an auto take for me! :) Your painting and modeling skills are enviable. I really like the cream filling color you've done! They look really sharp! Appreciate the compliment guys!

duz_ Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Well an unexpected commission came up (I rarely do them) My friend wants 2 Callidus tanks painted and shipped for the 23rd of the month! :sweat: He sent me a FW one direct although he bought the Annihilator by accident and I'll be offloading an average chinaforge cast that convinced me FW is the only way to go for custard creams I already learnt a lesson on the chinaforge model... paint in sub assemblies! The elongated sections make it tricky for the airbrush to get into certain areas and I'm now have to mask off 3x more than I would have had to otherwise :ermm: Ohwell live and learn! Fortunately he only wants the standard gold colour so I hope to get it done in the next ~10 days Although I have challenged my self to lose some of my gamer bod so no extended hobby sessions without some exercise (ideally) beforehand Oh and should be collecting my Venatari off Diet this Thursday :D Edited February 5, 2019 by duz_ Prot, MithrilForge and BLACK BLΠFLY 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/#findComment-5248441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Looks like a great start Duz! When do you need my shipping address? Seriously though.... intimidating model now that I see it in pieces. I can't really afford them, but it's a beautiful model and you'll do it justice. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/#findComment-5248448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkaniss Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Nice, a wild Prot comes to the Custodes! :D Those are some lovely models and a fantastic paint job - the ivory you've done is spectacular. Really smooth and impressive :tu: Looking forward to seeing more and of course the full army shot when they're complete! duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/#findComment-5248962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Thanks! I used an airbrush to base coat them, I don't think I would have tried it otherwise The Vallejo Air [off] White (RAL9001) is just the colour I was chasing followed by a Sepia wash (I think I thinned it down a bit) Spent nearly 1.5hrs last night taping up the Caladius tank so I can spray the main chassis gold Next one I might try some liquid mask see if that helps? Tonight I'll try and get the gold down (2 layers) and a wash, which should take it to 80% completion! I'll try and spray the gold with Sepia too and then wash the silver with Nulin, I might leave the red as is and just recess shadeThen glosss the whole thing, if its too much I might tape out the red again and then hit the main chassis with a satin coat If I get a chance I might even get some base coat on my 9 Custodians I primed the other day too Edited February 5, 2019 by duz_ BLACK BLΠFLY, Arkaniss and WarriorFish 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/#findComment-5249125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkaniss Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Ha, you know I just realised I said Prot instead of Duz Prot is of course part of the woodwork here I'm a bit fan of Seraphim Sepia on gold so I think it's gonna look great. I'm gonna be cheeky and ask when you intend to start your Telemon... that will look very striking in these colours! duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/#findComment-5249164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Haha I did wonder! I assumed Prot was a permanent fixture around here :P The Telemon... well that was meant to be shortly after I finished my other IG projects (finish Ogryns, finish Baneblade/Hellhammer chassis, finish 3rd Demolisher...) However that got bumped down a bit with this last minute commission... However its going to pay for my own legit FW Caladius so I cant complain too much! ^_^ I does bring up a question I've been pondering myself though.... For the vehicles and Telemon, do I paint them off white or gold? I am undecided to be honest, I just finished my Shadowsword which is a large off white tank and its very stark I'm not sure how the Custodes stuff would look at that scale, the Achillus I think is just small enough to pull off, the Telemon I'm not sure Either way I am really wanting to build and paint him soon! I'm just trying to be restrained ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/#findComment-5249191 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should paint it like a giant Allarus I shall wait patiently for you to start the Telemon while ogling all the other models you do beforehand Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353372-duzs-custard-creams/#findComment-5249577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
