Custom Custodes Dreadnaught.

If hiding a 10ft sneaky banana was hard...

Made a custom Achilles Dread based on my Sneaky Banana (Eye of the Emperor) I made previous. Hope you guys enjoy!

P.S: Dreadnaught pictures have been edited for brightness because the camera could not pick up the face under the hood.

Telemon y/n

Considering to buy a telemon, like the model soo much! Will be my first Resin kit tho!

Just a bit expensive if I have to buy 2x3 weapons. Any advice which ones I should buy ?

I know it’s potentially going to be avaible is plastic, not sure if I want to wait this long for that 😢

The path to a 2k Army

Hello :)

I have a question that probably has already a few answers out there. I have read the intro on this wiki.

How to you plan your 2k army? Custodes is my first army and I plan to take them all the way. I am not looking for a list and follow it. I would like to know what considerations go into planning and how you proceed.

My knowledge base from the custodes are purely from the books and I have yet to play a game of tabletop myself. I have watched my friends play and they only meet twice a year for 2k army games. We just live too far apart.

Which version of landraider

I’ve decided to add a landraider to my army over another grav tank, the only issue is that I can’t decide between the 40k variant or the 30k one, I think they both look great, is there anything that is massively different between them such as size or weapons on the models that are not in the data sheet for the custodes version, any advice is welcome as I hope to make my purchase later today

Could I Proxy a Saturnine as a Telemom?

I like the look of the Saturnine and it matches in size to the Telemon, my only concern is would the weapons be confusing for people? I imagine I could just say he has one of each of his big guns (cause I don't think the Saturnine kit comes with 2 of each weapon type sadly) but do you think people would look down upon that?

Flame color?

Opinion please on flight stands for Venatari? I can’t decide if the blue fading to white should be added, or if it’s too much. I do feel like I probably made the color sections a little too wide so on the real ones I will tighten those up. But I’m trying to figure out if the flame should start with the blue or start with the yellow. I think a little bit of the realism is lost because of the width of the color sections, but I added the blue because I’m trying to think of jet engines. Just not sure if I like it or not. I’ve never really painted a special effect before, so this is new territory for me.

My first caladius grav tank

I need to buy a stronger degreaser for the second tank.

Is there a 3d printable flight stem for the tanks? The ones it comes with is very loose.

Custodes Blade Walker (shield captain or blade champion on a sword)

I could've sworn I saw Alucard from Castlevania walking on his sword but I haven't been able to find an image, so I may have confused him with something else. The closest I could find is the last pic.

Anyways, I thought the concept was very cool, so I used Sigvald's body (👀), several custodes parts and a Galatus sword to bring it to life.

My idea is that he uses an old STC of a grav sword skateboard to fly around in battle.

Let me know what you think !

Raise the Vexilla high.

"Raise your vexilla high! Though the battlefield might blaze with the fury of the foe, though death might whirl about you in a storm, though the fallen may lie ten deep underfoot, raise your vexilla! Drive back the darkness and horror with its golden radiance, until all is redeemed by the glory of the Emperor of Mankind."-Adeptus Custodes Codex, 8th Edition.

Really pleased with how this one came out!

Had an idea but….

Thought it would be cool to use lord vigy as shield cap on jet bike but the model is way bigger than I had anticipated. I was planning to magnetize the model and both bases so I could swap it between games.

Sorry for another telemon post lol

I've decided on getting this dreadnought from etsy! Can I please see photos of people who have this dreadnought? I'm going to go double fist and no rockets (id rather not spend more for the rockets I know that sounds tight fisted but yeah). That would be great help if you could!! Thanks

What Happened to the OG Custodes?

After the siege of Terra there were less than 1000 Custodes. The survivors were battered but victorious. Valdor vanished, that much we know (possibly to return as the King in Yellow), but what happened to the rest? What happened to the thousands who were made in the 10,000 years following?

These guys hit their 40s and then effectively cease aging. They're immortal. I know that over time, as their skills fractionally diminish, they become Eyes of the Emperor. But let's consider for a moment that until Robert Girlyman came back, the Custodes restricted themselves to the palace. That means that the chances of any Custodes dying in combat was extremely minimal.

So they would have stood guard for thousands of years without combat or death.

Obviously, this is unwritten lore, so there's no definite answer (so don't act like you know for sure without providing a source), but it would suggest that there are thousands upon thousands of Eyes of the Emperor roaming the galaxy.

Dan Abnett, if you read this, I have an idea for a story line - A legion of 10,000 'old' Custodes serving under The King in Yellow. 😄

What are your thoughts? What happened to these older Custodes?

Combining the Saggitarum, Allarus, and Aquilon kits, plus some Space Marine gadgets for the belt, I have finished the first in a squad of 3 'super chonk' Shadowkeepers terminators.

I hope you enjoy.

Guardian Spear verification for new tattoo.

Greetings. Filling up some space on my forearm with a guardian spear. Just wanted to run the picture I’m using for reference by the folks here in case there’s any inaccuracies that I’ve somehow missed. Thanks!
