Custodes combat patrol done.

What a journey. Just shy of one month from purchase to completion. By far the fastest I've ever built, painted, and finished any models.

This is also more models and points than I have completed of any other army 🤣

Tales of Heresy by Dan Abnett, Matthew Farrer, Mike Lee, Graham McNeill, Anthony Reynolds, James Swallow, Gav Thorpe.

3/5 - Mixed bag of short stories. Some are great, some are mid. I do think the good stories outweigh the bad on average and there's a lot of good lore.

All three models are mounted on metal sicks and corks.

Three Custodian Vertus Praetors ready for basing.

These are much bigger than I expected and took much longer than I expected. Not breaking those lances while handling them proved challenging.

12 Space Marines stood in two ranks. From left to right there’s a Terminator Librarian in dark blue armour with gold trim. His right hand is behind him holding and axe and his right hand is upheld and glowing blue. There’s then a squad of 5 Infernus Marines, there are all in purple and gold armour, with the Sergeant having a red helmet. They are all holding a flame thrower, the Sergeant has his strapped behind him and is throwing a grenade. Next is a Captain in Terminator armour. He is in purple and gold armour and is stood on the corpse of a Tyranid and some rocks. He has a gun in his left hand and a sword in his right. To the right of him is a squad of 5 Terminators in purple and gold armour. These have white helmets except the sergeant who has a red helmet with white stripe. The non-Segargent models have guns and powerfits, while the Sergeant has a gun and a sword.

Completed the combat patrol part of my leviathan box. Feels good to finally have a playable force ☺️

I think the basing still needs some love, but I'm happy enough with it for now. I also really need to improve my photography set up 🤣

Next to the chimney is roof tiling and a sack of presents Back of an Ork in a red Christmas outfit standing over a chimey. The Oak is holding an explosive. Next to the chimney is roof slates and a throwing line with an hook made out of a string of Christmas lights

Finished my Red Gobbo, he's a great little model.

I have also demolished my time record, with Red taking about 5 hours, beating my previous record of over 20.

8 more space marines built ready for painting tomorrow. Got some more themes to test. Only took 4 hours to do, which is I think my fastest time per model to date.

I'm holding a half-painted Warhammer 40k Assult Intercessor Space Marine. The main armour has been painted in a pink-purple colour. The backpack, shoulder pads and weapons are unpainted and white. The base is unpainted and is on a black bottle cap. My hand is in the bottom of the frame with some purple and green paint on the nail. The background is white parchment.

The background is white parchment.

Got about an hour of painting done today. Still trying out some colours for my space marines. I'm still leaning towards the purple but want to try a darker one, as this is still a little too pink for me. Though shading and that should help.

Hats off to any Salamanders players; warpstone glow is a frustrating paint to work with. It's still patchy after 3 coats.

Finished reading: Deathwatch: Shadowbreaker (Warhammer 40,000) by Steve Parker 📚

4/5 - Good read, the plot is engaging, and the imagery is well thought out. I was previously interested in Deathwatch, and this book has only interested me further. What surprised me a little was the interactions between marines of different chapters, which only adds to the depth of their character. Some basic familiarity with 40k, the primary loyalist chapters, the Inquisition and many Xenos factions is essential to get the most out of this book.
