The office of Captain-General is one of the most powerful military appointments in the Imperium. It confers full responsibility for the overall defence of the Sol System, Terra, the Imperial Palace and, ultimately, the Golden Throne and the Emperor himself. Many claim that Trajann Valoris is the greatest warrior to hold the title of Captain-General since the Emperor strode the stars, having proven himself to be dynamic and effective; qualities that make him ideally suite to lead in this age of unprecedented aggression.

Welcome readers, thanks for dropping by. My latest acquisition was a 2nd-hand Trajann Valoris, picked up from a trader at Beachhead expo in February. Well it caught my eye as the gold was a match for my own, and it was cheap and I haven't got this auto-include choice yet to lead my Custodes forces. It was missing the beard so I added that back in, repainting the details and trying to make the eyes not too goofy. I painted the base to match my existing forces.He wears Castellan Plate, an ancient suit of powered armour that incorporates a heraldic tilting plate adorned with an eagle’s head emblem. An auramite halo frames his scowling face, and the whole suit is covered in the kind of ornate, sculpted details that set the Adeptus Custodes apart from other Imperial warriors – eagles, gemstones and filigree litter every surface. His main weapon held in his right hand is the Watcher’s Axe, an enormous polearm which incorporates a ferocious master-crafted bolt weapon known as the Eagle’s Scream. As this was second hand, its missing the ornamental lions pelt and the feathers - but I quite like the less ornate Trajann.
I repainted the cloak to match my existing forces, using the Warhammer "How to Paint Custodes Wardens" YT video colours. Its a lovely cloak colour, Khorne Red, Nuln Oil wash, Khorne Red, Wazdakka and Squig Orange
The Watchers Axe is brighter and larger than the Sentinel Axes, this is meant to set it apart from the line troop weapons, so I kept the lighter blue tones, and repainted it to reflect the immense power build up.
Here he is leading his Allarus Custodian Terminators into battle.
Cheers, Siph (5pts as gold was already done)
