Still playing around with my GIF maker. Oh and I got my Custodes finished:

Looking good.

I’m real sorry, but those gif animations have just enough stutter to them, I really want to see them battle some skeletons in an old school Ray Harryhausen showdown.

I really want to see some better stills of the custodes. Are those stormcast with intercessor heads?

Very nice.

Yes they are Stormcasts with Intercessor heads, well spotted. And stay tuned, proper photos are on the way

EDIT: Got some photos:

It's all good. The "stutter" seems inevitable. The videos I take look great, smooth and have crisp detail, but when I convert them to GIFs, the quality drops. It's makes sense, I guess.

Hah, I actually like that much better than regular Custodes. I really dislike most of their range—too busy with too much detail and the tabletop silhouette is lost.

What did you use for the black metallic on the jet bike?

Thanx. I quite like them too. Plus, I've always wanted to convert some Stormcasts to be something 40K, and Custodes fit the bill.

The black I used is a combination of different hobby-store paints. I started with a metallic black I bought years ago. It has flecks of gold in it, though I don't think they come across in photos. Then I edge highlighted with a mixture of that metallic black and matt gray. Then some 'Ard coat.

Thanks. I'm trying all sorts of different things to get the effect I want for my iron hands at the moment, and yours looks pretty good there.
