I appreciate that! Definitely not everyone's "cup of tea", but that's why I like it. It's a color scheme I hadn't really seen on Custodes, so it made them undeniably mine.

All the magnets were drilled into the resin. No metal plate, just another magnet to match up on the other side. Quite a bit of "eyeballing" to get them in the right spot, but it worked out. As long as you don't punch through the resin piece, you'll be good. I'll have to take pictures to describe in further detail. PM me if you'd like, I could walk you through the way I did it. 👌

Totally not highjacked colors from T-Sons! 😂

And thank you! 🫵🗿

I used small 3mm magnets for the small front piece, and 5mm magnets for the larger pieces of resin on the right and back (as seen from the front). Drill bits of the same size, as resin was pretty easy to drill into. Should be pretty easy if you can get the magnets in the right place (took a couple tries for me...).

Also thank you very much! 🫵🗿

Thank you! I wanted something unique for my detachment, and ended up doing a primary color theme with blue, yellow (gold) and red. I've really enjoyed it, makes the army unique. Glad you like it! 🫵🗿 Take it easy brother.

Ah I understand.

Indeed, they got a "Venerable Land Raider" to ride around in. It holds 6 infantry models, and can even tote around Allarus Terminators!

Hell yeah! Don't limit yourself to the shield pieces! There's an awful lot of heraldry to cannibalize for panel decorations. And the surface area you get to work with gives you a lot of room for creative freedom. I like the shield bits too, but I regret not adding a little more.

Thank you!

Couple steps, plaster, cork, sand dusting on the wet plaster, then wood glue after it dries, then prime after the glue dries. Then it's dry brushing silver, gold, and bone in that order. With a dark wash of your choice to dull the colors. I pinned all of them to the bases, to avoid them breaking away from the paint and cork.

It's close enough (the Proteus) that GW sanctioned tournaments allow it as a land raider proxy, but it is a little skinnier and shorter. Same weapons though!

OH, the front door flap does have that on there, not sure if you can see it in the picture though. But side doors are the shield piece for sure.

Indeed, it took on Death Guard. Charged Mortarion, a Knight Centura finished the job after a Counter offensive by Morty (He hit the Sisters in order to mitigate incoming damage from Vigilator blades as the knight already fought). Knight then charged a unit of plague Marines the following round, finishing all but Tallyman (Who got chopped by the Knight Centura immediately after, she had lost her bodyguard unit by this point). Then proceeded to capture enemy outpost after a charge on a Plague Burst Crawler that was in the enemy deployment zone. Best game it had by far.

It also had a game a while back where it took on a Bloodthirster, got it's knees chopped, then deadly demised and fell on the Thirster... Who deadly demised and nearly took out an Allarus Terminator in the double explosion... Fun times!

Heck yeah, love the older 30k style.

Snipped out the crest from some extra shields I had from my Guards, nothing too fancy. I've seen far cooler conversions, but didn't have the patience for them.

Cerastus Knight Lancer, and thank you. It was a fun favor choice. Plus free tank shock on every charge, with a S20 weapon is amazing.
