G'day Killersquid and Drah!
Like the look of 30K, however, cannot afford another addiction/hobby. Same for AoS.

Lovely Talons Killersquid ;) I especially like the redhead SoS :) the Sigmar Priest conversion (he is a sigmar priest isn't he?) is a really nice little touch too.

Tell me about it. I've got enough ideas to make my way through without delving into cannibalistic Wood Elves and Lost Legions of Biomancers and other such ideas I could quite easily run away with...

Well, I became tired of my Custodes looking the same as everyone elses, so I decided to dirty them up a bit, for better or for worse. I think they are much more interesting now.

I also painted up an Inquisitor Greyfax to lead my force, until I get a real HQ choice (soon).



















Also, I finished my getting started box of Flesh Eater Courts. Only a bunch more ghouls to go.

L.O.V.E it! It's like you sent all B-movie with all the splatter gore. The rust is superb as well. You could just as easily use those guys as 'counts as' Khorne models now. Looking great.

The ghouls are superb too. I'm detecting a theme here. Did someone get some Blood for the Blood God paint for Christmas?  ::)

It is amazing how a touch of dirt/blood has added a lot of interest to what I normally find to be very boring aesthetic. In particular the guy without a helmet looks barbaric instead of angelic.

I too like the look of your Flesh Eater Courts in particular the cracked earth basing.

Nice touch, KS!
You've made your boys just that little more intimidating, and that court? They are blessed nice models and you've done them justice... Be well!

Hell yeah muddy bloody dirty Custodes :) nice to see the high and mighty of Terra getting stuck in the dirt with everyone else ;)

Your Flesheater Court looks stunning too! Really striking colours. Great choice! :)

I've been a fan of that paint since it came out. The hardest thing is just resisting over doing it!

They wont ever count as Khorne models though. We just finished repelling a Khornate invasion of Terra. Time to take the fight back to the enemy!

Thanks! I was also feeling a bit board of the way they looked when they were clean. I'm looking forward to the new Custodian Guard releases.

The crackle paint GW sells is really good, I just find you need to paint it, or wash it in order to keep it from peeling.

Nice touch, KS!

10 thousand years sitting in the palace is too clean. The Talons of the Emperor will strike wherever the enemy is!

Wow. That is quite the change in aesthetic for your Custodian Guard! Technically the finish is brilliant. I think that you have gone a little too far with the weathering, but that's purely my taste. The painting is excellent and it really looks like your Talons have been in the thick of the fighting.

I simply love the Flesh Easter Court though. Such a clean paint scheme with a brilliant finish. That Zombie Dragon is terrific. Having painted one a couple of years ago, I hope you attached the wings after painting and not before...they are such a pain!

Looking forward to seeing more units for your Talons now that the Codex is out and some new units are available.

Hey all, been mostly just working on my Ghouls.



this is 1500pts, only need to finish 10 ghouls, and 6 crypt horrors to finish the force.

Fantastic!
They are a mean looking force, Killer, and you've done them justice. Like the table as well, mate.
Well done on the basing. You'll have to give us a tutorial on how to create that effect. Oh and the blood pools? Niiiiice!

Thanks folks. The bases are very easy. Agrellan Earth, with a wash of reikland fleshshade, and then the cracks drybrushed with zandri dust. I then glued on some skulls and patches of grass.

The blood pools, are just blood for the blood god painted ontop.

Wow! Amazing work KS. Truly grotesque... I love how pale everything is... and the blood effects are perfect. Its a real stark and striking paint job across the board. I love it!  The basing is fantastic too... really shows off the paint jobs. Man it makes me wish I had a Sigmar army. I'd love to fight against a force that looks like this. What an aesthetic! Great stuff KS keep it up. I'd love to see more of your stuff

I can only agree with what everyone has already said Killersquid. Your Flesheater Court army looks amazing I particularly like how every model truly looks like it is made from bone.

The texture baseing paints are phenomenal, and make basing miniatures a lot easier (and not requiring glue and sand!)

Thanks bud! You should play AOS, it's a great game!
