Prot’s Custodes Go Up for Sale

Yet another army going up soon. If you would like to make a serious offer, please contact me through the blog. Otherwise, please enjoy the pictures! Bonus stuff: The Allarus required some minor repairs on the ‘spear’ or pointy part of their axes. I tried to repair them with super glue, and just wanted to be upfront about that. As

Custodes Hobby Update: Venatari Complete

Although I hoped to whip through the Venatari, I admit there was more detail there, and a lot of it slowed me down. I feel at this point I have a great way of doing ‘Custode Gold’ … a few versions of it depending on the model. Yet the cloth and wings on these guys can slow you down. The

Custodes Hobby Update: New Arrivals from the Warp

I have been slowly painting my 3rd Custodes army. In some cases I’m resvisiting some older models. But I found I really slowed down in December and January so I needed something fun and new to paint, so I made a little order to Forgeworld as a Christmas gift to my self: I don’t know when I can work on

Prot’s First game of 9th Edition (sort of): Adeptus Custodes VS. Orks

As usual time is a bit of a crunch but I really want to get this batrep out. I know there are a lot of Custodes fans out there and none more than me wanted to see how they will fair in 9th edition. Be forewarned that this is really a ‘Maelstom’ Game of… let’s say 8.5! We used a

Prot’s Hobby/Life update: The Blog, Admech, Custodes, 9th Ed, Army Sale (?) and more.

Hello to everyone. It’s been a while. Work has had me busier than perhaps I’ve ever been during this period as everyone is getting used to a new ‘normal’ with Covid-19. My apologies for not being more active, but my field of expertise (virtualization technologies) has me overwhelmed with projects, and no real break in sight. That said when I

Hobby Update: Custodes Valerian Completed

Hey everyone, just a quick hobby update. I’ve been finishing quite a bit of stuff off during this time and really wanted to complete Valerian from the Black Library Birthday Celebration box set. Here he is: And that’s the man himself. I really enjoyed painting him and used my own Gold technique from my Allarus Tutorial Here. And the face

My 40K Prospects for the 2020 Season.

Well we’re getting close to 2020…. er, I guess I should say we’re a few months INTO 2020, and I haven’t seemed to fall in love with anything I’m playing. I like to rant with the assistance of pictures, so let’s have a look at what I’m painting, and considering. First up the joke that has become the Custodes. I

Custodes Caladius Grav Tank Hobby Update.

As I get closer to finishing over 2000 points of Custodes, I really wanted to sink my teeth into the Caladius Grav Tank. I had just come off a really lucky win with my Custodes vs. Necrons, and I wanted to field this tank for the first time vs. the dreaded Tau. I took pictures of the step by step

Adeptus Custodes Hobby Update. Valoris, Virtus Praetors and Custodian Guard Pictures.

An Update of an Instant Classic. I love the Custodes background. All of it. The novels, the models, the playstyle, etc. But what can turn into a grind is doing the gold ‘properly’. For me I’m always looking for ways of aging the gold in a ‘classic’ appearance without diminishing the stunning effect that an army of gold can look

Hobby Update: Finished Custodes, and some Ultramarines Impulsor WIPs.

These bikes just took me forever to finish. Don’t be like me and restart a project 3 times. The temptation to sell sometimes is great, and I need to stop doing it (at least on stuff I’m going to restart)! And now a few touch ups finish off my Telemon Dreadnaughts: And some Ultra updates: Thanks for checking in. -Prot.
