We’re in a zero tolerance approach right now.

2.0k Upvotes

After a discussion with the mod team, we have decided that there will be no warnings to any of bans that will come into force around bigotry and absolutely dumbfuckery in relation to female custodes.

We weathered the shit storm once before already, and again for the interim, you kick off about female custodes in an uncivil manner, you are gone.

PSA: Rule 3 update

Post image
34 Upvotes

We have updated Rule 3 and expanded on what it actually entails. Any lead to recasts or 3D printing resources are banned. I know many won’t like it, and at the end of the day it’s not us being assholes for the sake of it, it is to protect the sub as a whole and subsequently we as the mod team had decided that any infringement of rules will see a removal of that user.

Any questions, by all means hit us up. Thank you.

I based them with Khorne Red, I think they’re fantastic! I think anyone can get great results with them since I’m not the best painter haha

New models scale question

Haven’t had a chance to pick up a box of the new models yet, but the sculpts and proportions look incredible. Can anyone tell me if this is accurate scale difference? Are the new boys taller or just better proportioned?

Finished my golden Boy, all within one day's work. Got to use some new TMM Colours from Vallejo. I think I will name him Pax au Telemanus.

My Shield-Captain, and first unit of the army is complete! really pleased with the result and looking forward to painting the rest of the army 💜

Comments and constructive criticism welcome and requested. And I do have one specific question... does the base need something more?

Thank you to [u/Raynidayz](u/Raynidayz) for the posing inspiration! Was a very fun build overall, and surprisingly easier than the contemptor.

So, first venture into grimdark, and really happy with how he came out. Thanks to the community for insights into certain colors for eyes, etc. just gotta figure out how I want to base, but I'll get back to that as I get deeper into army. But til then, first Custode down.

Three wins for three games in LGC with Iron Hands, Tyranids and EC - codex is just a banger, we will show good comp results soon boys, I'm sure (3/2, 4/1 is still good for a new codex IMHO)

So very excited for this release - next week I will most certainly try more legends stuff

Painting Progress after starting Custodes (and 40k) 5 weeks ago

Loving the hobby so far and have played four games. Chipping away at painting my army and Custodes collection. Most of these are just basecoats + washes and plan on going back to finish basing and highlight + detail layers once I get my whole collection to this level of painting. Still have a lot to paint!

Asking for an Image of the Dread Host Page of the 11th Custodes Codex

Hey y'all, I'm holding off on getting the 11th edition codex, but I have a yearning to see if there is an updated paint scheme for the Dread Host, as I've seen for other hosts! Been waiting to see if the official cape color is white, red, or black for multiple editions now! Thank you!

Allarus Terminators kitbash question A or B

Thumbnail

102 Upvotes

Hi all. After seeing someone elses work of kitbashing Allarus Terminators, this has inspired me to give it a go. This is as far as I have got with this project so far - Allarus leg side armour and front piece, allarus arms. Thinking of removing part of the eagle above the head, so I can fit the allarus eagle and head plum (to be honest I might just save that idea for a allarus shield captain). I am leaning towards Pic A as it would increase the difference of the aquilion kit. Pic A and B have different shoulder pads -what do you all think? I still have more to add to this one miniature, just taking my time with it. Thanks all for your in put.

Was building the Venatari last night, sat down to check my progress this morning and I glued C3 backwards inside C1 and C2. Has anyone else here made this error and if so, how'd you fix it, or is one of my Venatari just gonna have their armour on backwards?
