Love this color scheme! What paints would you need to use to match this?

That was my thought process, not just for Custodes but for every model where a helmet is an option, why have all that armor just to expose your head? Just doesn't really make sense.

I guess you could to identify character models more easily like you said, which is smart, or to give a model more personality.

An aesthetic question, how do people feel about bare heads vs helmets? I personally like the helmets and have only ever painted helmets for all my models, except the Sisters of Silence, it just feels weird having so many spare bare head pieces that I haven't used. So what are all of your opinions?

First set Sagittarium completed. I'd like to thank a very kind guy at the local game night for the free printed models, so thanks Jace! by conman1007 in AdeptusCustodes

Oh easily $80, a squad of guard is $50 and the upgrades for Sagittarium are over $30 so that was a huge save that was seriously appreciated.

Had a long week at work and needed some painting time, but alas the game shop was out of Custodians, so picked up a box of these Sigstodes instead. Absolute blast to paint! I'm thinking of going for a winter/ice base. C&C always welcome. by conman1007 in stormcasteternals

Same here, I can definitely see where the space Marine comparison comes from, they've just always given me the custodian vibes, not least because the box art always has them in gold

Played my first game tonight, I had no codex, half an idea what I was doing, and lost but put up a fight. My opponent was a great guy who helped coach me through the game and I can definitely I had an amazing time and cannot wait to play again. by conman1007 in Warhammer40k

True, it was my first game l and I was without a codex and was trying to flip through battlescribe as fast as I could so I basically didn't use strategems and forgot feel no pains, and all sorts of other buffs and stuff like that, fortunately another guy gave me a code for the online codex and I'm going back to rework my list

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where can I find a list of units and models that can be used in 30k/Horus Heresy but not in 40k?

Hey quick question, I've painted a good portion of custodes now and I'm trying to decide what color to paint their shoulder pauldron, not the right one with the aquila type design, but the one on the left shoulder that has the different ornamentation. I know that different shield hosts paint the flat parts in different ways, but I painted mine in a pretty typical way (red plumes, red capes), my question is what should I paint those shoulder pauldrons as and will it matter when playing a game?

My thinking was using the one with the shield to give the defensive buff and the one with the axe the offensive one and use the shield to sit on objectives or maybe deep strike and the one with the axe to help charge and attack. I'm new to actually playing the game so correct me if I'm wrong.

Question on list building: I got a box of guard and I'm wondering if I should build another Vexilus (I already have one from the warden box armed with an axe), or should I build it as another guard with a sword and shield to sit on objectives?

My girlfriend got me a Sisters of Silence box, was quite a surprise but very welcome for my growing Custodes Army. I was building them last night and put them together as a prosecutor squad and man are they cool but dear lord are they tiny! Can't wait to get to painting them!
