Hi Everybody

I´ve been working on building up an Adeptus Custodes Army for about 5 month now (there were a lot of bitz to gather... <_< )

I´m able to use either Space Marines or Daemonhunters Codexes.


So here are the (bad) pics of the work in progress

The first Emperor figure



It´s the Ronin miniatures figures, though I´m quite happy with the paintjob I always found him too short....

The new one





Here´s the new version it was sculpted by David Raffetin ( Raffy10 on cool mini)


The Emperor´s retinue

Terminators



these one are from Velard's these are resin cast figures

Custodian Knights








These last ones are from Velard´s but I must say I´m not so happy about them, they just don´t fit in with the rest , I´m gonna have to sell them. ( and convert new ones....)

Custodian Marines







I used every Mk1 to 5 pewter figure I had, plus some plastic ones to complete.I Know it´s not really accurate but I wanted to use my oldies.

Very nice! Best Custodes army ive seen makes me want to start one, in fact i will! How did you do the pale gold its great?

Starting with a first coat of shining gold
then brown ink, a drybrush of shining gold again, then a mix of 50/50 shining gold/mithril silver and pure mithril silver on the edges.
I can seem long but it´s not that long

If you want to build an army of Custodes, I can provide you a list of the bits I used.
