Heresy Era Adeptus Custodes - Custodian Guard Squad (almost) Complete!

Just a quick hit today - it's been ridiculously cold over the last couple days (-12°F last night) so no spray sealing going on. That said, barring that final step the Custodian Guard squad is more or less complete!


Rather enjoyed painting them up, though there's not a whole lot to 'em beyond the gold stage so the last few steps went really quickly. Red on the horsehair plumes and gemstones and blue for the power blades, and a few areas in silver and white. Matched up the bases to the ones for the Imperial Fists and job's a good 'un!

    Look great dude. The blue on the blades really makes them pop.

    I have mine sitting in the to do pile, but barely having any time to hobby at the mo. Pleased they are fairly simple to do. Might tempt me to get em done quicker :)

    Like NafNaf says, the trademark Mordian blue power weapons make the unit pop! Good stuff, I have part built squad but it will be sometime until completion.

    @Francesc: Thanks very much!

    @Riot Ville: Cheers, man!

    @NafNaf: Thanks! They were surprisingly quick to paint up - one the gold is on, they're 90% complete!

    @Siph_Horridus: Hah! Thanks man! I look forward to seeing 'em!

    @KrautScientist: I appreciate it! Little bit of paint every day! :)

    @Greg Hess: Thanks very much, Greg!

    @Rory Priest: Cheers! Aye, I'm going to do a couple squads of guardians and a Caladius Grav Tank, though holding off on really going to town on 'em until the official rules drop in February!

    @Vitor: Thanks man!

    @Col. Hertford: Thanks! They were a fun little unit to bang out!

    I appreciate all the kind words everyone!

    Nice results mate. Look right out of the illustrations to me.

    Are Custodes really supposed to be even bigger than Marines?

    @Dai: Thanks very much! Aye, several of the books suggest the Custodes lay somewhere between the marine and primarch sizes.
