Adeptus Custodes Aquila Terminator
The Adeptus Custodes are getting more popular because of the fantastic Adrian Smith Artwork for the Horus Heresy CCG. I was also captured by the nice images and was really tempted to converted some Custodes minis. After seeing Dave Taylor’s Custodes on the GW US site I lost a bit interest, because the man had already done everything I planned! But recently my interest was sparked again. After winning the Heavy Gear online painting contest, the DP9 staff proposed to put the mini on Cool Mini to promote Heavy Gear a bit. So for the first time I entered Cool Mini with an entry and was received warmly. By sheer coincidence I saw a really nice converted Aquila Terminator of the Custodes. Having just sold my Armorcast Titans, I had some money to spare and bought the mini through ebay. So here we are! My first Adeptus Custodes Aquila Terminator! The mini is converted by Scibor from Poland. Most of you will know him here on CMON. This guy is good! The mini is painted mainly in conventional gold metallic. I am one of the last old fashioned painters that are NOT liking the NMM technique. ;-) So the mini is just painted using gold, ink and dry brushing plus several highlights to get the burnished gold effect. The rest is normal painting plus some transfers for the back of the cloak.
