Agis Horus Heresy Marines - Custodes

[Agis]

As soon as the HH Prospero Box arrived I just had to paint a SiS. I always like the SiS and their strange background. The great Graham McNeill immortalised them in his novel "A Thousand Sons " - IMO one of the best Horus Heresy books!


The model is really good, not just good, really good. The picture below with my 15 years old SoB models clearly show the way GW (and also my painting) have come. It also shows the famous scale and base size creep...

As far as painting is concerned, I wanted a clean gold look. More or less like described in GWs paint booklet. For the head I wanted a more battle worn look, the Sisters is in service on Prospero so no time to daily shave her head, therefore the darker look. Hope you like it.

 She looks really good the the stubble effect on her head is a very nice touch.

Gorgeous paintwork.  Not my favourite minis of the new box, but cool to see them branching out (and giving players a lot of avenues etc.)

That is a lovely smooth and stylish paintjob on the big lass.
 


I would be exceedingly happy if my figures came out as well as yours from 15 years ago....

Thanks Folks! 

BTW - while painting the SiS I thought, it might be a good time to re-photograph my old Sisters of Battle.

She just shaved that morning 

he, he, got it.
But no - did you not know that SiS do not shave directly before battle?

Cracking painting Agis!

Do you not think they have a very Dark Eldar aesthetic? Pointy knee pads and plate armour!

Yes, that's why so many gamers converted SiS from female Dark Eldar models.

SiS and Custodes in Power Armour - right out of the Prospero box!
