paint the custodes to save them until the 11th edition

[@eater_of_garbage_]

Play them in 30k

[@nicolasbourelier1017]

Not worthy of the Adeptus Custodes to leave a fight before taking it !

[@joelsigleycross9636]

I just bought the patrol and this is honestly really helpful, I hope similar guides follow for future releases

[@charlieirving1290]

Honestly, this is a great format, whenever there is a new combat patrol or spearhead, similar videos like this should follow, this would be fantastic for helping new or less confident hobbyists get them painted, great work again guys

[@officialwarhammer]

Thank you so much for the feedback!

[@tylerchadwell1267]

Seeing how the custodes rules for the main game have shaped up to be pretty lackluster, I'm going to see if maybe our combat patrol could do the emperor's finest justice.

[@eater_of_garbage_]

Play them in 30k

[@nicolasbourelier1017]

Trust in your dice ! 😁

[@captainhaddock6524]

haha it’s the same model Henry Cavill was painting and showed on Kimmel just 2 days ago

[@officialwarhammer]

Great minds think alike~

[@midnight4669]

I have a friend who is looking into custodes. This JUST pops up!?! Cool! I like Sisters of Battle myself

[@meh7363]

No reason to paint them anymore....

[@data3419]

Too bad you cant play them this edition

[@CaydenSworn]

My fav Shield Host is the Aquilan Shield. Living up to the Custodes' purpose of bodyguards! The purple cloaks look nice and mesh well with all the gold, too!

[@Muro88]

Would love to see videos on the other Combat Patrols that have not been covered yet/updated

[@officialwarhammer]

We should be covering the all in time!

[@ACoolRat12]

we need to have henry cavil painting custodes

[@SM0RN124]

The blade champion has to be top ten models of all time

[@chris.replay]

My custom kitbashed blade champion is better 😏

[@treop3291]

Right!

[@MrGreenpaulo]

Format is great, hope you plan on covering the AOS Spearhead boxes too! :)

[@GuileGustafson]

This was a great tutorial video, I am loving the new quality of videos you guys are pushing out. Keep it up!

[@tahatuncer1783]

I love this tone of gold

[@RevanR]

Simple yet effective paint tips, I like this approach of tutorial

[@Mr_Waffle.]

Great straightforward guide, love the painting videos you've been doing!

[@oleww50]

These combat patrol painting videos are great 👍 Orks next? 👀😁

[@ThatThereWesty]

Gotta be the cheapest, easiest and quickest way to put 2000 on the table! Just picked mine up and couldn’t be more excited

[@pauledwards9493]

Only thing I'd add is a dry brush of liberator armour before the stormhost but a cracking tutorial as ever! The new CP is perfect.

[@MIKGO59]

The steps look very easy to follow and the end results looks amazing.

[@goforitpainting]

Looks cool. 👍

[@Im_a_good_dwarf]

Those guys are beautiful(my favourite legion)

[@feuermannfeuermann1571]

MAybe i am an old schooler. My method for gold armour is: retributor armour. Wash with griphon sepia or reikland fleshshade. Take a coffe while it dries. And then dribrush with retributor + silver.

[@The_Blackshield]

Nice paint job on these models. Shame about their rules though.

[@MyChannel-tl8ms]

What paint should I use for shadowkeepers and dreadhost?

[@pauledwards9493]

Corvus for shadow keepers

[@bigjoons]

Awesome, can we get one of these for the kill teams in kill team Nightmare?

[@officialwarhammer]

We'll pass the request along, thanks!

[@andrewgardner105]

40K Skaven when?

[@sameiimo1734]

Imperium of Man and the Tyranids already fill the niche that Skaven would
If you want Rat folk though, it'd be nice to get a killteam of Tau auxiliaries with one or two in

[@davidlabrash2294]

what would be a good highlight colour for the red capes? feel like the edges could use a bit of pop.

[@jacobforna]

Why is it not possible to enable subtitles ?

[@WhyDoIHaveToHaveAHandle_s]

Is it just me or does the standard colour look more like a rose gold than gold gold?

[@cawsking555]

There is another way prime with leadbelcher, hi light with Balthazar gold and gehenna's gold, then dry brush with retributor armor then wash with agrax earthshade or reikland fleshade. After that drys. Then Use storm host silver to pick raise up the detail and give an edge to the weapons. also nighthunt gloom is very good for Glow effects.

[@thekamitwin]

noice

[@elgrifolorian]

💯

[@BrownBread-qq2jp]

Fix Admech and not just point decreases

[@sweetsilver8016]

Seconded

[@josephlau8476]

I like warhammer very much too.

[@Adeptus-Custodes]

So... is this a new combat patrol? Because thats not it. Its supposed to be
5x custodian guard
10x sisters of silence
3x dawneagle jetbike
Though it would be nice for it to change

[@The_Blackshield]

Yes, it's changed. Now it's five Guard, five Wardens, three Terminators and a Blade Champion.
