conversions look good, the high elf heads are a popular choice for custodes

 

very interesting, i like the bases that you did for them.

 

Nice work Eisen, you must be happey that you don't have to shave off eagle crests this time.

 

I just waiting for the first Moe to say"Only the Emperor's Children have Aquillas"
It makes no sence to me that the Emps own guard would not wear his hearldry.
I know you don't see it in the artwork but thats just because I did'nt get my submission in on time

 

I really REALLY like the pose of that custodian guard, its the nicest, most dynamic pose in power armour ive seen in a long time I think.

I dont think ANYONE will complain about the eagle crests either eisen. Keep up the good work. Where is the head from the emperor conversion from out of interest?

 

The emperor is a non GW model I bought online.
The link where to buy him is in the Emperor thread

 

good job with the Custodian's can't wait to see more.

 

Looking good so far, can't wait for more.

Well here they are with some Gold and red on them.
Still very WiP

And here is the first Custode with Guardian Spear

 

Wicked idea for the bolter/spear...stealing that idea...*yoink*

 

Where are those bits from? Sweet looking halberd

 

They look like nemisis force weapons with a hacked up bolter attached.

Am I right?

 

yep
GK halberd which I cut from the arm at the glove and cut the blade off at the handguard.
The bolter is a mastercrafted bolter that comes with the command squad(It has extra detailing that is fitting for a reverered weapon like the guardian spear)though any newer (4th edition)bolter will work.
I chopped off the foregrip and clip(cut the clip off carfully and as flush as possible as you will be reusing it)and the back end nub.scrap or file the part you just cut flat.
Reglue the clip to the very back of the bolter where the handgrip would usually be.
glue the blade where the foregrip would be.
Then ideally pin then glue the weapon onto the end of the staff.
You can just glue but pinning adds the extra durability.
For the left arm that supports the spear make sure you use a chaos arm that has a glove because the hand that is holding the halberd has a glove.

 

The Design for the banner

 

Just to play devils advocate, wouldn't they have single headed eagles

 

Here is the Banner
The Idea is this was the Emperor's standard during the Unification Wars
The oldest Relic at the time of the Crusade

 

I don't want to sound like I am repreating myself but Eisen you are a god of all things with the brush. That banner is great.

 

Thanks Jacobite,
I will asend to that title when I can master NMM
Here is The Second Shield Capt
I don't have a good name for him yet
His shield is on the base
A theme I am going with for my shield capts are that they carry the skulls of the 3 fallen custodes

 

Here is Nerons(the name I'm using for him) Shield

 

lovin the custodian with spear-gun (dark eldar heads also make good custodes)

 

These are really coming along nicely...

 

Dark Eldar,I gotta check that out
never thought of them

 

That banner is top notch my friend.

 

these are really kl

i started to do my own 50 point force but i use different bits
i use for the spear a high elve spear with a normal bolter and a scaven blade
for the chect plate i use a egal from the basing kit other winged bits come from the high elves sprue

 

actually the custodian guard would likely use both the aquila and the thunderbolt symbol which was the Emperors symbol pre great crusade. But great work, I love custode models and you really captured teh essence of them with these. Keep up the great work.

 

Good looking conversions there!
