While the T'au continue to tear their way across the sector, other armies are mustering to stop them. In other words- I did some work on other stuff! This is mostly because I don't have the primer color needed to continue painting the xenos AND GW released new points updates that affected a few of my forces. This includes the Adeptus Custodes.
My army was 2,000 points until the most recent update. Since I don't have a lot of stuff painted for that army (which doesn't have a lot of options in the book), that meant that I suddenly needed to add some units. Luckily, the new points worked in a way that I needed a fourth small unit of Custodian Guard and an ancient Contemptor Dreadnought. That brings my Custodes list to exactly 2,000 points- dangerous!
If you've kept up with my blog at all, you'll already know the paint scheme that I used. For a little reminder, visit this link. Here's the rundown of this new effort after applying the gold spray:
Now here is where I got so excited that I forgot to take pictures. I followed that old post with every step and color (except Gorthor Brown and Macragge Blue, which were out and had to be replaced with Baneblade and Kantor, respectively) and this is the result:
And with that (and a little work on the bases), the army was finished and back to 2,000 points! For those that are interested, here's the army list:
Adeptus Custodes 2000pts
HQ- Trajann Valoris

And that's it! Now the Emprah's Bodyguard can get back out there and be the second-cheeziest force in the galaxy again. There's more work to do on other armies and I'll be posting about them in between battles. Until then, Happy Hobbying!
