So, I picked up 2 yesterday. already have a couple burning of prospero boxes to build so so plenty of custodies

Also bought 2 primarch boxes one for guilliman as is, one for a big E model (still using Guilliman's rules)

looking at the models though has anybody found some nice eagle or sisters emblems for land raiders or rhinos... they seem rather only real distinguishing part would be gold paint

on the custodies front I am thinking of getting some cheap stormcast eternal bodies to make even more custodies on the cheap with the shield and sword arms (also allows them to look different beyond war gear) has anybody pulle doff the conversion and has pictures there my googlefu jhas failed if they exist. also concerned they will not be the rright size as I have not see andy of the stormcast eternal liberator shield guys in person only online.

final question would be does anybody know of a nice head that would fit guilliman model with ong hair. I have the rest of the big E covered, ising sanguinary guard wings to cover U emblems etc but I don't really want the Emperor to be wearing a helmet is I can avoid it. bonus points if there are actual Emperor shoulderguards and eagle knee pads I can buy off a bitz site that look awesome

There is a FW transfer for Custodes Emblems

not as dynamic as say actual plastic wings or eagle heads, but if I cant find anything else those will certainly work and I would be happy with it, thanks for the suggestion!

No problem.

As for some of your other questions, namely the one regarding a head to represent the Emperor, I unfortunately dont have a good suggestion. Otherwise I'd be working on making a Big E myself.

Regarding the head:

I'd check around some old fantasy models, or potentially the new Conan Warlord miniature.

Alternatively maybe this:

I can't believe I can't think of an actual hard match for it.

you might just be able to green stuff in some long hair onto the Gulliman mini if you're good with that

I am alas not good at sculpting, but maybe I should just look into commissioning one from a good modeler, good idea!
