The golden fever #2

Second article on my new project, and, some plans about it.

I) Why will I use Stormcast Eternals to kitbash my custodes ?

 The first reason is, well, the price . I have a complete Age of Sigmar starter set undone, waiting for some intention. 

Secondly : the size and the similarities between both.

Third, it's better to get an army with some differnces on the armours, like differents generations of warriors.

Fourth, you know me, I love kitbashing !

That said, I'm going back with my blades and glue... See you next time !

The golden fever #1

As far as I can renember, I always been fascinated by the Custodes . First of all, their appearance : massive guys in golden armour with some awesome combi bolter - spears . And, secondly, their role : Emperor's personnal guards . Everything is here to make me dreaming about those fantastic characters of the Warhammer 40k's universe.

Just before the first leaks of the Prospero's Burning  box, I was working on a Deathwatch army . You can imagine my surprise when I saw the Watchmaster mini with a custodian weapon named Guardian Spear . This was my excuse to kitbash a custodian mini to count as Watchmaster ! And here is the result :


Without being exactly on the right design, it's quite close from the fantastic drawings I've found on the Internet .  I've been very inspired by the fantastic work my friend Krauty (Eternal hunt) had already done on this subject .

Various Krautscientist's work on Custodes :




 But something was missing. I wanted mine taller than a regular marine or a terminator. And so, the solution came to me with the use of a Stormcast body. It's the right size, with a nice "artificer armour". I've find some examples still on the Eternal Hunt site :

First one by Ryan Stevenson


And the second by Noctus Cornix :


Those were enought to convince me that I was on the right track.

That's all for today. This first article is just the project's genesis. More to come soon. See you next time !
