I wanted to share my Custodes Vexillus Praetor that I just finished. Took me a long time, especially the scrolls on the banner were quite some work, but I'm happy with it. Let me know what you think.











Thanks for looking.

Thought I'd throw in a picture of my 1250 points of painted Custodes. It's not much, but I'll get there. Once I finally manage to finish my venatari, I'm at least up to 1500p.

There's never enough skulls, is there.

Thanks! Takes some time, but is worth the effort imo.

Allright let's see:

- base with retributor armor
- shade with reikland fleshshade (2x)
- first layer of highlights with auric armor gold
- second layer of highlights with liberator gold but don't cover all your previous highlights
- third layer of highlights with a mix of storm host silver and liberator gold, but again don't go over all your previous highlight colors.
- sparing edge highlights with storm host silver
- take some druuchi violet and carefully darw it into the deepest shadows to increase contrast
- make a glaze of reikland fleshshade and glaze into the darker areas to create transitions where you see steps between your highlight layers. Make sure to let each layer of glaze dry properly before applying the next.

For a darker, less warm-reddish type of gold use agrax earthshade instead of reikland fleshshade.
