Heresy Era Work: Custodes, Part 2
Here he is, as promised. An emperor’s custode painted by the end of the labor day weekend. I decided to do a little extra converting after I posted the last pic. Minor stuff mostly. BigRed gave me some imperial eagle brass etchings, so I placed one on the blank shoulderpads and a very small one on the helmet. I also did some changes to the backpack (new vents) and built up a new base.
The base was much easier to make than it looks. Cut some 1mm thick plasticard into rectangles. Sand down the corners and all the edges. Then take your small round file and make the edges uneven. A base coat and a few coats of dry brushing, then fill the cracks with some flock.
I should be getting in a bits order from BattleForge Games in the next week or two. After that, I can convert the other four custodes. I can’t wait to post some pictures of all five of them together. It should look like a very nice squad.
