Agis Horus Heresy Marines - Custodes

[Elbows]

I generally do that when I stub my toe, but don't feel the need to cover myself with confetti afterwards 

But the purity seals, they seal in the flavor...they keep the marines crisp and delicious!

[Commander Vyper]

Bloody nice that. .always liked those variant helmets on the crew. 

Have the first lite rt one and the plastic ones, like what you and Peter have done with thid.

Forge World did it again - they pulled me to the Dark Side of GW models - this time the fantastic new Thallax miniatures.

I really like the paint job on these and I agree, they are fantastic miniatures.

[Dr Mathias]

Very nice, I have a soft spot for Mechanicus.

[Mason]

These are some very nice sculpts with some great paintwork.
 

[spacecowsmith]

Awesome stuff! Its a really nice sculpt too and just goes to show what GW can do when they put their mind to it and not cover it in skulls either!

All the best!

[Commander Vyper]

I wish you hadn't posted these.  I've resisted until now.... I hate you!

[Diakon]

Very nice. 

That's a nice PJ on the Techpriest too.

You are all welcome!
 

BTW - Have any of you seen the new Space Marines from GW? Absolutely horrible and toylike...

[cheetor]

Lovely work on lovely models.  The marines are nice, but the mechanicus stuff is nicer.  They deserve their own thread

Very nice, I have a soft spot for Mechanicus.

Yeah me too.  Nothing says "Future Dark Age" quite like those guys.

The Forge World Mechanicus Castellax robot that is due out soon looks great too, although Im not certain that I like the new, snail-like tech-priest.  All the same, its the Ad Mech stuff that has me bracing myself for a Forge World order one of these days.

Im looking forward to seeing more.

...although Im not certain that I like the new, snail-like tech-priest. 

Agreed, absolutely NOT my thing... 

But always better than this:

Seems to be SM Centurions for the next Codex.

But always better than this:

Its a shame to sully your nice thread with ridiculous photos like that Agis.  Plenty of vitriol about those figures in this thread already

I try not to get involved in GW bashing - I just buy the things that I like and ignore the rest - but the toy-like aesthetic for the marines has been getting progressively worse since the Stormraven.  The smaller flyer that came out last year is awful and these guys ("Centurions" is it?) suck.

I dont like those figures, but I do think that a couple of minor changes and a less absurd paint scheme could make them in to good industrial space miners.  Like something from Star Mogul.  But at that price, I dont myself doing it any time soon.

Damn, missed the linked thread...

True, I'll wait untill they turn up on EBay to scavenge one of those rock drills.
