[Grailkeeper]

Oh mercy me.

[Deadlift]

Jaw dropping. :eek:

Thats the coolest custodes army I have ever seen, whats the gold secret :)

[fade_74]

Very nice!

[Lord Inquisitor]

I assume you use Grey Knight rules for them? Drako for Valdor? Looks awesome, those are Scibor's right? Not only do they look great but you painted everything superbly and the forgeworld pieces really accentuate everything.

[Tynskel]

awesome sauce!

Seriously cool looking army.

[JxKxR]

So cool! I love how the faded red looks on the tanks, have any tips?

[BigGrim]

That's a staggerinly good looking army! Amazing!

[DrLove42]

Sweet baby Jesus thats a nice army. Where did you get all the bits like Helmets and Shoulders from?

[energongoodie]

Beautiful. Must be awesome to smack that down on the table top.

[eldargal]

Custard coloured custodes! This is amusing to me. Beautifully painted.

[fuzzbuket]

wow: amazing

[Meph]

Nice choice of models and part, great paint job. Love the little freehands here and there.

[archimbald]

freehand work is stunning, i say a very good job on the army,

[A Barb]

Wow :)

[celestialatc]

Sir.....my hat is off to you....this is one of the most beautiful armies I have ever seen!

[vman]

One of the nicest armies I have seen.

[SotonShades]

Well if nothing else, its very shiny!


Erm... copy and paste all of what's all ready been said.

[Machinator]

Absolutely incredible work, and nice treads on the Land Raider ;)

[Kawauso]

I have nothing constructive to say, really, as I've been drooling over this army for the past couple days like everyone else.

The Custodes look pretty bulky scale-wise, though...wouldn't they dwarf a regular Marine figure, judging by the bases? I know Custodes are bigger than Marines, but still...
...That's all I can muster as far as critique, and that's not really something the OP has control over. xP

The models and paint jobs are exquisite.

[olekkkkk]

terminators

[A Barb]

That is going to stand out! I like it :D

[Meph]

Dude! Wow!

Where did you get all those cool parts from?

[witeout69]

How do they compare to regular GW models? Seems like they are huge?

[olekkkkk]

Terminators are from Scibor, but don't know if they are still in sell.
They are biger than GW terminators, but fit well on 40mm bases.

[Meph]

Yeah, Scribor has nice mini's. Must've been quite an investment to buy the models in such quantity but man, they sure look ace. And you've got a very cool gold tint going on. Would you mind sharing the recipe for the marines and termies? :-P

[LOBO]

Really nicely done Custodes Army! Will you be painting an Emperor too?

[olekkkkk]

Amazing masterpieces, the gold/silver finish is flawless!

[machidiel9]

I love it! I was toying with the idea of custodes, but I already have a lot on my plate. They look great!

[Meph]

Oh wow, good stuff man!

[The Ghost]

at first I didn't think the capes looked very good, but seeing the painted cape on Dorn makes them look amazing.

[Feynmann]

Very cool models. That would be intimidating to see across the table.

[Lucian Kain]

You made Gold look good,hard to do with such a sickly colour,I've got a feeling you haven't finished the mud?its bugging me how light it is,not sure why

[Sinistermind]

:eek: that is disgustingly awe inspiring!!!

Edit: what kind of Dark back alley transaction with the devil did you make to get skills like this? i must know because i would do the exact same

[Ignatius Grulgor]

cool

[BHound1981]

The Emperor's Janitors never looked so nice!

[Grrmpf]

Outstanding!

[I_R_Chaos]

Outstanding work!

[ntjones92]

I love a good custodes army! :cool:

[mafiacheese]

Absolutely stunning, I like the detail on the helmetless individuals.

[bethor]

Pimp!

Best looking emperor guard I've seen.

[Nykster]

I'm eternally jealous. I'v only dreamed of having an army that looks that nice.

[raybans]

Love the Dreadnaughts the best

[docbungle]

WOW

That is all someone can say WOW

[Brakkart]

Really nice looking army you've got there, seriously envious!

[pathwinder14]

I'm used to making people drool over my armies....now I am drooling over yours. Awesome work.

[Carlsson]

Looks awesome, that gold is really cool looking

[Thiazi]

this is the best custodies army i have seen yet. Well done!

[splnes]

Yes I have to say well done! I really dig how well the colors work together! The dreads are sick!

[olekkkkk]

Thanks for all comments :D

[celestialatc]

Holy......those are amazing...........

[Criger]

The Emperor's Janitors never looked so nice!

I thought the same thing lol. Not sure what the Adeptus Custodes actually are but these look amazing. The paint job is stunning. Honestly I'm not a fan of the FW dreads though...the heads just look weird to me.

[Hammerhead]

Absolutely amazing army!
The terminators are brilliant, the way you have painted the gold is fantastic.

[Iyonjin]

Christ. I kinda want to try to replicate your Custodes... Brilliant work.

[LittleSilverGuys]

Wow, Dorn is AWESOME!!!!! Can't say I am completely sold on the Emperor, it looks almost cartoony to me. I think it might be the sword. But Dorn is brilliant, understated but screams to be looked at.

[Meph]

Damn, that's pretty pretty!

[DadExtraordinaire]

Stunning absolutely stunning, fantastic work, a labour of love. What did you use to make the conversions and how long did it take to make the converted models and paint the army? Many thanks in sharing your work with us.

[Geachinator]

These. Are. Amazing.

Seriously good job :D, these Adeptus Custodes look wonderful ;)

[Jambo]

very nice army must have put alot of work into them

[speed]

I'm not sure if I'm set on that Emperor model, but I can't really say anything because the painting is amazing on everything as is Dorn. It would be ncie to see a few Contemptor dreads in this army. Although the termies may even dwarf that.

[Deus_Morte]

I don't say this very often, but this is pure awesomeness.

[GRUNDZ]

Hey, how are you highlighting your gold up to silver? on my custodes I have no problem washing down from bright gold, but highlighting up to bright silver yours look fantastic!

[MatthewTiger56]

Awwwww yea! Bling bling marines ftw.

[Iifeelstrange]

wow man thats an absloutely amazing looking army:D
i've always loved custodes but the conversions would be so confusing.:confused:

[olekkkkk]

Some info from dakka dakka about figures manufacturers:
Emperor - probably ronin miniatures
Rogal Dorn is from vlad miniatures
termies are from hitech or scibor
power armoured custodes are from scibor + hands and weapons from plastic grey knights terminators

Cheers
