Adeptus Custodes Squad

My friend brought them today

Ok first of all the artwork

Sorry for the weak pics - am to tired to set up the photstudio

Imho they are great!

I don\'t like \'em - but that\'s just me - they could look GREAT painted up though...

I\'m not sure what it IS about \'em I don\'t like either. I thought I liked the staff-bolters when I first saw them, but I thought the quality looked a bit shoddy in the close-ups...

Maybe it\'s just all the photo?
But they don\'t look BAD anyway - I just don\'t like them especially.

Or maybe it\'s cos I can see again (sort of) lol

Good looking, but there are 2 things I dont like about them... the helmets look too bulky (not elegant) and the Halberds blades are very dorky looking (again not elegant), other than that I think they are great conversions. The reason I say this is that these Custodes guys are like the super heroes of the emperor and should have all the nice Bling...

I like em but i don\'t. They just look to chunky for my taste, then again almost anythign GW is chunky. The polearm Bolters are neat but they bother me with how wide the blades are.

 

[demonherald]

blade thickness doesn\'t help.
paint may..
overall they look ok but as mentioned chunky.

 

[hashmallum]

Okok - will ask Marek to prepare some molds - maybe this will help

 

[No Such Agency]

It doesn\'t help that you picked the goofiest-looking of all GW\'s goofy Space Marine concepts to sculpt a squad of. I mean your sculpting ain\'t at all bad but they still look like the hood ornament on a Studebaker.

I personally like them, and think a lot of people will be changing opinions when they wee them painted.

Your painting style will suit a squad like this too!

@ OD - started using a different \"additive\" to your paints have wee? lol

 

[forrix]

nehh they don\'t realy do it for me either...alot op people doing custodians make the same \"mistake\'\' by using new bolters for the guardian spears they use...these guys r the most ancient and trusted mofo\'s human kind has in 40k...thats why i went through the trouble of getting an old old bolter to make my custodian :]

 

[DaN]

I\'m not so much worried about Godwyn-pattern bolters (Or whatever version they are) as according to the fluff, new STC\'s are being (re-)discovered all the time, so it would make sense that the Custodes would have EITHER the newest and best, or the oldest and most reliable equipment

But I still think these could end up looking good - they\'re just not figures I would be interested in myself.
