I tried to go for something else than the usual gold...It was quite time consuming, and I intend to paint each of my Custodes differently so that I doesn't get boring - who said an army has to follow one color scheme, right?





What do you guys think?

Looking for the Rest of the II Legion

Looks really nice! You can vary the scheme from custodian to custodian and make it like personal heraldry or something to that effect.

Black custodes are best custodes, but bone is a very close second. Excellent work.

These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

Then comes along the frakking Spinosaurus who kills the T-rex, and the movie says "LOVE THIS NOW! HE IS BETTER" But...in your heart, you love the T-rex, who shouldn't have lost to no stupid Spinosaurus. So you hate the movie. And refuse to love the Spinosaurus because it is a hamfisted attempt at taking what you loved, making it TREX +++ and trying to sell you it.

It's actually just Ushabti Bone over a white GW primer, washed with Agrax Earthshade (all over, not recesses only) and edge higlighted with Ushabti bone again. Subsequently I added some faint black lines that are suppossed to be lettering, like you normally do on scrolls, just for some visual interest.

Thanks for the appreciation, I indeed plan to represent personal custodes heraldry by painting each of them differently.

Although I agree that black custodes indeed look badass, shading/highlighting black is a pain in the ***, and I can't seem to make it look acceptable on such large flat surfaces - I painted a Deathwatch Rhino once and it was a disaster, so much I decided to strip it and repaint in red
