Adeptus Custodians - Allarus Terminator Custodians #2

Hi all, thanks for dropping by. More Adeptus Custodes additions this week, a second squad of Allarus Terminators, this time to differentiate between squads I chose purple as a Praetorian Guard aspect, for bodyguards to the Allarus Terminator Shield Captain which has purple as an accent colour on the haft of the Castellan Axe.

These have a more functional appearance than the last squad, with spikes removed from the axes.

Misericordia at the rear.

Kept the red cloaks similar as the other Custodes to keep a unified look across the army.

An identical twin to the one above (these were 2nd hand)

And a shot of the force so far, growing slowly. A few more models to post yet.

Adeptus Custodes - Allarus Terminator Custodians

Hello All, thanks for dropping by, the second of a number of Adeptus Custodes reinforcements, last week's Shield Captain was a spare up for auction, but these are the first being added to my Custodes force this year. I have a number of models on the to-do pile inbetween Titans and Relictors, so something shiny and gold is a nice break from blues or grey!

Two are armed with Custodian Spears and one with Castellan Axe

The cloaks of these warriors really sets them apart from the Custodian Guardians.

I chose red plume and red Pauldrons not to distract from the rest of the Guardians scheme, but I have plans for a second squad of Praetorian type Allarus Terminators using purple as the contrasting colour.

This was first modelled as a Vexilus Praetor, but careful Vexilla removal at the hand meant I could add a slightly modified (shorter haft at bottom) Guardian Spear. I quite like a mix of weapons across the army to choose, so the next squad will have Castellan Axes for the higher toughness enemies like Vehicles.

This one also has a Guardian Spear for more attacks and better AP, but sacrifices a little Strength and Damage over the Axe. Monsters in combat as they should be, but with my saving throws - maybe die quickly!

Adeptus Custodes - Shield Captain in Allarus Terminator Armour

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. Had a spare Allarus Terminator with the Shield Captain Pauldrons so painted up the few details to make as a Shield Captain for sale on eBay rather than a generic Allarus Custodes. 

Added highlights to the plume, and skin

Painted the gold leaf thread in the cloak to mark out as a Shield Captain over a normal Allarus Custodes, and added detail to the Castellan Axe rather than have it plain and unadorned.

Painted the Ballistus Grenade Launcher and based the rim a more generic brown (Steel Legion Drab I think). Hopefully will find a new home as I am currently awash with Allarus Custodians... two squads of Custodes and already have a Shield Captain and Vexilus Praetor.

Adeptus Custodes - Vexilus Praetor in Allarus Armour

Hello all, thanks for dropping in. Hot on the heels of last week's Allarus Terminator Shield Captain, another model the boxset allows is a Vexilus Praetor in Allarus Armour. 

Armed with the same Balistus Grenade Launcher, he lacks the punch of a Castellan Axe or Guardian Spear but does have a Misericordia for close combat, which isn't bad at five attacks, strength 5 with -2AP, one damage. 

The Duncan Rhodes tutorial for Custodian Warden was followed and I love the folds of the cloak. The model can be equipped with the Vexilla, either a Vexilla Defensor (Light Cover Aura); Vexilla Imperius (+1 Attack aura) or a Vexilla Magnifica (Dense Cover Aura), but only one of each type can be in an army - my other two Vexilla will be made from Warden Custodian kits.

The rear really shows off the folds of the cloak and the Misericordia.

Another box of these now has to be bought so I can use the final member into a squad of 4 Allarus Terminators, although you can actually field them as a squad of one model!

Adeptus Custodes - Shield Captain in Allarus Armour

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. On the coat tails of the Custodian Guardians a few weeks ago, I have added a Shield Captain in Allarus Armour to lead them. A formidable warrior!

I followed the Duncan Rhodes tutorial again, and to mark him out as a Shield Captain I added the rather ornate gold Pteruges and the ornate shoulder pauldrons. Colour wise the purple braid on the Castellan Axe will denote his rank.

The wrist mounted Balistus Grenade Launcher

He has a Misericordia too. I followed the guide to do the cloak, and love the results. Chaos Red, washed Nuln Oil, base Chaos red again leaving the darker recesses, highlight Wazdakka Red and very slight highlight on the extreme edges of Squig Orange. I used an old pot of Gehennas Gold to be different from the golds used on the armour.

Ave Imperator!
