Hi
Im really new to the tabletop side of the hobby and picked up the watches of the Gate box, I have no clue how to building the box for 11th edition. Anyone got any tips.
The box comes with
1 Captain-General Trajann Valoris
15 Custodian Guard
3 Allarus Custodians
3 Vertus Praetors
Any help with this would be really appreciated.
With the leaks of how psykers will work with the orks being that psychic tests have you roll a d6 and on 1 are battleshocked and being unable to use psychic powers if battleshocked, I think this is great news for the Sisters of Silence. Until now they had no ability to interact with psychic nonsense aside from their FNP against psychic and anti-psyker weaponry. Battleshocks, a thing we already have in lore and in their detachment, now disables psychic powers.
Due to this, I am 100% convinced that the Custodes Codex will give Sisters of Silence battleshock abilities bog standard instead of detachment reliant battleshock abilities, which means they can be much more generally useful compared to before as they could have support utility instead of just being bodies to do actions and hold objectives.
Finally got around to finishing a couple of the new sculpts. I’ve painted some of the older Allarus Custodes, but these new ones have so much more detail. Can’t decide on the base for them though. I was thinking of a snow scheme but not sure.
Recently played a list featuring two of them with the upgrade in the might of the moritoi detachment and holy emperor that shit rocked not only are they amazing anti-elite fire support: deleting several large units of smaller chaff and doing considerable damage into larger targets but the standing back up ability makes their survivability better than every single dread us custodes can get our hands on. This included the telemon with its -1 to damage who is still susceptible to being punched off the board in 1 turn.
This game (which was into necrons of all things) also really highlighted to me how much is custodes benefit from the take and hold disposition. My list was heavily inspired by the one taken by Team USA at the recent event and i promise it absolutely delivered.
For my next game i’m thinking of fitting in an achilles with the upgrade for some more anti-tank support but i was mostly wondering if anyone else had found this amount of success with these niche models?
Hi golden boys! I'm not one of yours, actually I collect Red Corsairs army.
Right now I'm assembling Huron Blackheart and I really don't like his face. I want to make a custom captured Custodes helmet so my Pirate Lord would be even more fancy.
Can you helm me with choosing the perfect option? I'm looking for something not too loyalist looking, perfect option would have a place for Tyrants Claw on the forehead.
Thanks!
Pretty much done with the armor. Might go an clean up some of the more defined shadow areas but gonna move onto the shield next
Any kitbash ideas for stuff like Custodian Wardens, Blade Champions and Trajan Valoris for my army that aren’t super hard to due since I’m pretty new to kitbashing
(Only thing I’ve kitbashed is a terminator sorcerer for thousand sons)
Edit: Also Allarus Terminators
Hello, Ive just finished my first actual models. I had previously only painted Space Marines and Tyranids that I got in a starter set a few years ago. I wasn’t able to paint for a few years due to a living situation, so I consider these my first actual models. I still need to go back and paint bits I have missed on the later models where I decide to add more detail and tidy them up a little bit.
Let me know what you think!
So I am wanting to run my custodes at 2k but don't currently have the grav tank. I also don't have a custodes land raider. Given I don't have either of these, I get a distinct feeling of lacking any real anti armour? I know we get lethals or sustained in our army rule but its only for melee and still seems to lack the punch of a dedicated anti tank.
Has anyone else ran a list without these two tanks? If so, how do you navigate the lack of dedication Anti-armour
Showing off my lightly converted Shadowkeepers Allarus Shield-Captain. I hope to get him painted soon, ready for his entrance into to a crusade.
-Admonomortis was made by adding the wardens axe blade to the back of the allarus weapon (turns out it's just slightly smaller, which I think gives a nice intentionality to the weapon).
-Wings and iron halo made from some careful cutting and gluing of the wardens vexilla.
-Top knot replaced with the centre gem from the gaurd shields (like the rest of my hooded allarus).
-Basing is the greenstuffworld Roman rolling pin onto some sheets of superscupley firm. I make my bases with snapped sheets of the stuff along with autumn leaves for a "fallen pallace" vibe.
-My favourite element is how he's looking and holding the chain. The left arm is just the normal allarus arm rotated around to be palm up. Some very fine modeling/jewler's chain fits nicely in his palm, and hey presto - you've got some drama.
Another dreadnought character I've been working on for my solar list.
Heavily armoured to counter biological xenos attacks
Was thinking to run as a galatus (extra shielding better save is my logic). Thoughts and opinions?
I for Imperium? Inquisition? One? Eagles and talons and lightening bolts all make sense to me but why is there a big “I” always in the background?
Hi everyone, new to 40k and I have been thinking for a few months on what army to start. I want it to be Custodes, but, I want to start with newer models that is/will not be for HH later on.
What models/combat patrol should I start with buying? My goal is 2000points army but I can wait to fill in gaps for say Aquilon termies. And I prefer the list to be heavy in to infantry.
So confusing with old models and new HH combined, thanks for the help!
Thank you in advance!
My recipe was:
Basecoat of Alien Purple (Army Painter Fanatic)
Wash of Druchii Violet (Citadel)
I recently got the villainy inks phase 1 enamel washes and I have really been enjoying working with them.
Any feedback or rating would be appreciated :)

Heyo!! Glad to finally share all these guys grouped up together! Forgive th simpler terrain set up, i dont quite have all the graveyard fancy terrain and background blocking to go for full immersion but I wanted to at least get them all on a board to share with y’all!!
Custodes was army that took me a long while to get right - for a long time I thought it was the mourning element of the Custodes I found the most interesting however after examining it further and reading up on it further, I realised I quite liked the element of ‘relic of a bygone age’ - specifically, much for the same reason i like knights, a pre-imperial age; A lot of my inspiration came from fan arts of the Custodes pictures during the unification wars where they have no yet built up all the pomp and circumstances - which is what I was trying to capture in the desaturated colour pallette and im very happy with how it came out, especially in the Dreadnought Talon and the Allarus squadron
Outside of the Custodes, Im immensely happy with how the Anathema Psykana came out - they were the foundation of my custodes collection and Aleya’s audiobook sections cemented them as one of my favourite factions; even ending up with me playing a sister of silence-inspired character in a friend’s long term dnd campaign thats just finished! Im planning to share her kitbashed model soon, once I’ve finished making it’s Custodes counterpart to represent my friend’s chadacter from that same campaign - planning to have them in my collection as Aleya and Velarion proxies!
Hope y’all enjoy and cheers for reading!!
