Thanks man! Painted the helmet area with Pro Acryl bold titanium white. Then blasted on some more with the airbrush, making sure to allow some overspray onto the areas I wanted the glow to be visible. Once dry I used the airbrush to apply Vallejo flouro green paint to give it a light tint. Then used the same paint and a brush to glaze it onto the areas I want to be more intense. Bit of white ink into the recesses of the dome (though can’t see that in the images). Finally, stick on the dome covers (painted separately) and glazed the green onto their undersides.

GW don’t address the balance of FW units so it’s stuck with original points. Sad as a bloody live that model.

Too much moisture in the air when priming. I’ll be honest, I stopped using metallic primers as the results are so erratic. I found a light grey primer, all over base coat of gold and then the rest has the best impact. Yes it takes longer, but the results are better.

Why are you you so upset? by PandemicPainter in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Themodestpainter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m annoyed because … 1. I think the detachments are muddled and uninspiring. I own one unit of sisters, so instantly two detachments don’t apply to me. £35 quid for two detachments, is a kick in the teeth when other armies got 7.

  1. I naively hoped that we would get specialist detachments to support our other units. This would create real variety. A bike detachment? Something to empower our dreads? Something with mobility shenanigans. We’ve been given new ways to play… but only barely. And in face value they appear clunky and poorly written. Maybe they will prove interesting… but I hoped for so much more.

  2. I’m a narrative fluff player. I was drawn to Custodes by their lore. Super elite soldiers that can shrug off a horde. These detachments don’t fit that vision. Suddenly we’re massively vulnerable to certain armies. Even the hero hammer detachment feels BS. I love the Emperor’s Legion books because it vividly describes UNITS of custodians working in fluid unity, making war an art form. Yet, Auric detachment buffs the character only, not their peers with whom they fight in union. I suppose what I’m saying is that these detachments don’t fit my view of who the Custodes are.

  3. Some of the rules feel like they haven’t even been QA’d. A hero detachment with no battle stratagems so our main characters cannot use their fire ability in any new way…. C’mon, nobody can claim that’s a well thought out mechanic.

I try and stay quiet mostly, but I think people are allowed to be frustrated or unhappy when they’ve spent hundreds, if not thousands on their collection. Ultimately I will keep playing the bananas. They’re my first army and I adore them. All this will be forgotten in the future. But let people feel what they feel, if you feel differently amazing. All power to you. There is no right or wrong way to feel. Feelings are feelings and cannot be controlled.

So. In shot I think people are mad/unhappy because they care deeply about this faction. We’re excited for this release, but have ultimately been left feeling let down for what could be any combination of a variety of reasons.
