Custodes Venerable Contemptor Dreadnought

A couple weeks ago, I showed off the unpainted model with some added parts to make it look like a Venerable member of the Custodes.  Here's the finished work:


I'm trying to depict the ruins of Tizca when the Custodes accompanied the Space Wolves to Prospero to eliminate Magnus.  Though I'll be playing this as a 40K army, I still think the basing style is a nice change of pace from the sand-and-tufts bases I've done in the past, or citadel texture paint.

This is my first attempt at anything like Object Source Lighting (OSL) and I'm sure I'll improve with practice as well as reading up on the technique and watching some videos from painters who've got the knack of it.

I hope you like it!  On the painting table I've got Trajann Valoris, a couple of Shield-Captains and a squad or two of Custodian Guard.  Stay tuned to see them in the next couple of weeks!  Thank you for visiting!

  1. He looks great. From what I can see of the OSL, it looks good and accurate. You've got the concept, so it's just a matter of more practice. Well done.
