If I ever get some of these, and thats a big if, I will paint them ANYTHING but gold.
Cusstoads – that made that hard viewing. 🙂
Ha! All the way through wondering what the 40k universe would be like if Astartes were really pronounced AssTarts.
I was thinking exactly the same.
It’s an interesting point about the effect of the Sisters of Silence on Orks. But I’m not sure how much effect it would really have. Almost every sentient creature has a presence in the Warp and can therefore effect, and be effected by, manipulations in the Warp. These manipulations are how the Ruinous Powers reach into the real world and possess psykers.The Sisters of Silence act as “jammers” or “nullifiers” of these manipulations. There are some species, the Tau, Necrons, and Orks amongst them, that have different relationships with the Warp. The Tau and Necrons have no reflection or presence… Read more »
Checked the painting tutorial:

While they seem to avoid the issue by labeling the tutorial Custodial Guard, at 1:43 Duncan refers to them as custode-es (i.e. the one that Justin didn’t pick) 🙂
That Should say Custodian Guard (I wish you could edit your typos in comments!
Yep … I have thunder fingers and have been wishing the same thing for a while
And be able to add pictures like in the forums …. oh well maybe in 2.0? who knows? 🙂
Also the horus heresy audio books from black library pronounce Malcador as Mal-ca-dor the si-Jill-ite though if you have only ever seen it written it’s another one that could go a number of ways.
That is kinda like saying chain mail which means chain, chain. Custodes is a latin word for guard/ guardian so custodian guard is basically saying guard, guard ( add 2 “s” at the end of that and you get a great book by the late Terry Pratchett btw). They should actually be just saying Cuss-Toe-Dees although there are 3 other pronunciations of that word. imho they should be called Praetor Custodes (Emperor Guardians) and not Adeptus Custodes ( skilled men guards in 40k corrupted pig latin)
they are great well detailed figures they would look fabulous in metallic shades I think.
or use AoS: Stormcast Eternals for Custodes. I prefer those models anyway and I have a lot from the AoS starter box. Also, with conversion Stormcast are good proxies for Astartes Minotaurs and Carcharadons chapters as they are listed as being taller than other chapters– 3 + mtrs. I believe; so the bigger Stormcast are awesome for these and for Chapter masters as well
YaY!!! Kitten and the gang are here
They are the same as the Roman Empires Praetorians. The emperor’s personal guard, police and army
@Dignity / On Justin’s theory Close but not really: Chaos gods do not exist as of belief; they exist as of emotion. Emotions cause psychic energy to enter the warp, this coagulates into masses of raw energy when it becomes powerful enough it forms into a god governing that emotion. as an example Slaneesh the Eldar did not believe in the Chaos god of Slaneesh; they created puppet gods they could control, and would police the warp for them. The Eldar started murder, torture, raping, pain, S&M, D&S, Bondage killing and extremely perverted pleasures on a species-wide level ( remember… Read more »
Also as Chaos Gods feed off of emotion/ psychic energy and not belief. Even if you do not know about them you feed them by just living. You feel angry or noble- you feed Khorne, feeling indecision or overly positive you feed Tzeentch, in a torture dungeon or feeling Hornyyyyy, or having a good meal or a lot of fun you feed Slaneesh, feeling ill, or caring for someone sick you feed Nurgle. So even with no belief systems you still feed Chaos and the warp and the gods gain power. The problem is Psychics They are the conduits to… Read more »
Go Tzeentch 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
the tyranids must be in their somewhere as they are psychic creatures.
I think the Sisters can only effect Human and Chaos, possibly Eldar. The Orks and ‘Nids psychic powers work differently ( no real presence in the warp). If Sisters can effect Orks and ‘Nids ( especially the ‘Nids) then they would be too powerful and make ‘Nids irrelevant as an army and GWS would lose the sells of its (I Believe) 2nd most popular faction
Also, all Orks would be reduced to savage Orks with no vehicles, weapons or anything- so again would negate the whole faction as with ‘Nids –( loosing GWS all sells of Orks as well); — and not just the psykers and demon elements of Human, Chaos and possibly Eldar factions
