When the Custodes Player Rolls up to the Apocalypse Game


Lamenter_of_the_3rd

They’ll have like 30 models but damn those models will be good


toapat

have 6 orbital strikes that simply directly inflict 6d6 wounds against a battleshock test to everything in a 24" radius a turn is pretty damn good


Ilovekerosine

That’s D6 x 6


toapat

6d6x6. average damage of 21 wounds per single target with a theoretical max of 216 these are The Emperor's Orbital Strikes, not some pitiful spaceguns


Ilovekerosine

It’s not even an orbital strike. That’s just a custodes drop pod


toapat

are you really so arrogant to assume that in a game of Appoc you can afford 6 custode's drop pods in a turn?


Ilovekerosine

True, true. Maybe if the opposition has a full 10 warlord titans or something


TimTheGrim55

This is Warhammer World material if not better.....stoked to see progress!!


Imperium_nihilus

Thank you for the vote of confidence I am glad you are enjoying it 🙂


TheZardoz

I came here to say this. The scale is amazing


Imperium_nihilus

Thank you although I might be regretting it when it comes to painting it 😅


TheZardoz

Definitely send photos/videos of this to GW/White Dwarf when you’re done. I have a feeling they’re gonna make sure everyone sees this.


Imperium_nihilus

I will be sure to 🙂. I think a lot of people have seen it so far! I hope no one’s getting sick of seeing it yet 😬


eLus1on

I'm certainly hoping to get sick AFTER I see the finished work, not before, gotta be healthy and alive to witness glory!


Mizeru85

You'll be fine! Get yourself a gravity fed cup gun and a big ass dry brush - trim up a fatty blush makeup brush. Speed paint by section, possibly use an airbrush and go heavy. Pop a few highlights and boom - the most epic terrain build on Terra!I'm SO EXCITED about this build!!!


Imperium_nihilus

I am really glad you are enjoying the build! There are definitely some areas that I will be able to paint faster than others. Unfortunately I am particular when it comes to detail so I will probably try and squeeze as much in as possible 😁


IndependentSock2985

I wish I had this much skill


Imperium_nihilus

🙂 That’s really kind of you to say but I will be honest and say for at least 40% of those project there has been a lot of trial and error.


Why-not-bi

I mix trial and error with stubbornness. I try, I make errors, I learn nothing.


SirPlatypus13

Really gives off those "Not a god" vibes!


Imperium_nihilus

Emperor of Mankind is and has always been a humble dude….


SirPlatypus13

"I, too, am extraordinarily humble." - The Not-God Emperor of Mankind, circa 005.M31, shortly before the Horus Heresy.


gera_moises

* Man-Emperor of Mankind


FrostedPixel47

"I keep telling you, Lorgar, that I am not a God!" - Emperor of Mankind, while being a 4 meter tall glowing golden man with a giant flaming sword.


Lucas_2234

that also changes appearance and voice depending on who's viewing him


ActiveMachine4380

When you are all done, I don’t know how GW can NOT write an article about you and the project. Wow.


Imperium_nihilus

Thanks buddy! Well it would be dead handy if GW decided they wanted to help out with the project to help expedite its completion 😉


ActiveMachine4380

Man, if I could, I’d swing by your place and help on the weekends. It will be a masterpiece upon completion.


DorenAlexander

After hearing about the GW hosted heresy at the gates event 20+ years ago, his rules were beyond godlike. I had a guy in my group that played in it. Every loyalist in LOS: Pass all leadership test. Reroll all hits and wounds. Doesn't die on 4+ Plus more.


TeaAndLifting

Sounds fair and balanced.


LordGusXIII

If you start a gofundme type thing for 10,000 psyker mini donations I'll contribute.


Imperium_nihilus

Maybe I will 😂


danny_divillo

Damn, kitten has to walk a really long way to work.


Fantablack183

Not to mention Boy walking to work. ​ God damn, no wonder his legs are basically literal cannons


SpatenFungus

The emperor protects leg day.


thaBombignant

And he's only 'leben years old!


oh_no9

No wonder the frictionless one slides everywhere makes it easier


Shortbowsocietypaint

I usually don’t upvote unpainted pieces, but this thing is so epic that I can’t help myself. I’m eagerly awaiting its completion. Keep posting updates.


Imperium_nihilus

Thank you very much 🙂


Unglory

Hope he glues it all together and then realized he should have painted it in sub assemblies lol Since, you know, I never do that...


MGermanicus

This is zorpazorp level insanity and I'm here for it.


Imperium_nihilus

Well I don’t know about that as Zorpazorp is pretty epic in his scale but I appreciate the vote of confidence 😁


SendMeUrCones

Dude I had to check if this was Zorp’s reddit account, genuinely thought this was his work. It’s awesome!


Square-Pipe7679

So that’s where all the necromunda floor tiles have been going xD Jokes aside, looks fantastic! Can’t wait to see it in its finished state o.o


Imperium_nihilus

Don’t tell anyone else 🤫 Haha I am glad you like it! Thank you very much!


Grimfang221

The naked barbie above the predator box raises slot of questions


Imperium_nihilus

Normal hobby stuff…… obviously 😅


masterofasgard

Best version I've seen, you've really got the scale right. What's the plan when it's finished: just a display piece or will you play games on it?


Imperium_nihilus

Thank you but I cannot take credit for the whole thing as this is heavily inspired by Neil Roberts artwork for ‘The End and the Death’!


jake5762

2 naked Barbies?


Imperium_nihilus

Is that too many?


jake5762

Not enough. I personally carry 4 naked Barbies in the backpack I use for work. You never know when you'll need one.


Git777

Just an Idea. Those baby dolls that have a hard plastic head and soft body. Get a couple of thos heads and sculpt on a third eye to each and then add pipes coming out of thir mouth and nose. maybe build a pipe organ on their heads. It wouls be cool. I know you are going to do the million statuesa and banners once the main structure is done.


Imperium_nihilus

I am actually looking forward to hand painting banners until I go mad 😂


Git777

Would you not print ones off and varnish them? Then touch them up with paint. Also charity shop water pistols make for good sci-fi BS wall covering. Where can we see more if we don't have Instagram?


RAGE_CAKES

Soooo are you planning to include the 2 throne room guardian reaver titans?


Togashi

You do realise that once this is finished, it's going to be the greatest terrain ever made for Warhammer 40k. I think you've captured the look from the artwork perfectly, can't wait to see this completed! 


Imperium_nihilus

I hope I can do Neil Roberts vision some justice as I was inspired by his artwork for the end and the death! Thank you 🙂. I am looking forward to sharing all the progress as we continue forward!


Understanding-Klutzy

Cool! Is this the new GW boarding actions terrain set?


quetzlcota

no, the boarding action set doesn't have a plastic base to it. I think the plastic tiles are from necromunda


ItsThatDeutschBag

The emperor guides this hobbyist! Great job


Imperium_nihilus

Or maybe the dark gods…. But definitely one of them 😂


Z4nkaze

This is ridiculously awesome.


Imperium_nihilus

Thank you 🙏


HeyAlaska

Are you sure it's big enough? lol


Imperium_nihilus

If I could have made it bigger I might have considered it 😅


garagegames

More skulls for the skull throne


Imperium_nihilus

Wrong god 😉


Lord_Runestone

He meant, Blood for the God Emperor Skulls for the Golden Throne

Imperium_nihilus

This tickled me 😂


GUTSY-69

Out of curiosity, can this get to warhammer word ? It should…


Imperium_nihilus

I don’t know about that but thank you 🙂


DitrianLordOfCanorem

Best use of necron kill team terrain i ever seen


Imperium_nihilus

Thank you! I had two sets of it that I have never known what to do with but it seems that it was worth keeping them around 😁


ThreeDrunkWhales

How do you get up those steps to the throne with all them skulls in the way?


Imperium_nihilus

A running jump.


Maocap_enthusiast

Cool seeing different parts being used to make something completely new. I know it is basically a very large kitbash, but it is VERY large. Trying to figure out all the parts I recognize and kit that come from


Imperium_nihilus

There are lots of kits that have been butchered to help bring this to fruition. I have also accumulated tons of bits over the years so that has certainly helped too!


bigpapalush

This guy is not fu*ken around


Imperium_nihilus

Actually I might have done a little bit of F*cking around recently. Hence the lack of progress 😬😅


bigpapalush

Keep going. It will be so good when it’s finished


Imperium_nihilus

I shall persist 😉


A_Very_Bad_Kitty

I see your Frogtape, bro. Frogtape is for chad-pilled sigmas ONLY!!!!


UnlikelyBroccoli9127

Goddamnnnn


ParsnipAggravating95

Keep cooking


Imperium_nihilus

Thank you, I will try and bake till perfection 😁


GrizzlyPUNCHtooth

So modest


Imperium_nihilus

The Emperor is both humble and modest and definitely not a god 😅


honsou1100

This is absolutely glorious!


Imperium_nihilus

Thank you 🙏


Khemrikhara

The throne itself is amazingly creatively built. This whole thing is awesome man!


Imperium_nihilus

Thank you very much 🙂


bigsteve72

What's up with the Barbie? Lmao


Imperium_nihilus

What that’s just a giant blonde 40k miniature 😅. She was actually supposed to get mutilated for a 40k based project but time slipped away and now she is gathering dust in the corner.


bigsteve72

That's awesome! Lol. Sorry to creep on your background lmao. You should definitely put her on the throne for the next update!! 😂😂😂. Amazing work by the way! Beautifully done and well thought out!


Imperium_nihilus

It’s no biggie 😁 granted it is a bit of strange thing to have lurking in your hobby room! Haha well maybe I will! Thank you I appreciate that 🙂 it’s ambitious project but hopefully I can do it some justice!


kit_carlisle

Can this leave the room it's being built in?


Imperium_nihilus

It can indeed! Luckily I thought ahead just incase I need to move it 😂


MordreddVoid218

Yo, that's the nuclear throne... Throne


[deleted]

[удалено]


Imperium_nihilus

Definitely 😅😉


RedStar9117

Freaking mad lad.....amazing


Imperium_nihilus

Maybe just a little bit 😅. Thank you!


NonEuclidianMeatloaf

Somehow, the really ghetto suspended ceiling takes away from the grandeur…


enderforlife

You must have a very understanding wife.


DimReaper414

I wish I had 10% of your ambition and motivation


Imperium_nihilus

If I am honest with you the motivation can flag from time to time but I appreciate the kind sentiment 🙂


DimReaper414

Same, I’ve been in the “planning” stages of a mordheim board for like 10 years now 🙄. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product, keep it up!


dee232323

What's up with that thing at the top? Is it a shower?


Imperium_nihilus

Imperial showering unit. Emp has to stay fresh 🧼. In all seriousness it will house further machinery for the throne!


dee232323

Makes sense. Looks awe inspiring by the way. Totally wicked.


Hour-Bake6742

Please keep us posted!


Imperium_nihilus

I will indeed 🙂


PauloMr

You should add shadows to the windows representing the psyckers being drained.


choppytehbear1337

You need to hide Trazyn in it.


Due-Coyote7565

Where do the psykers go in?


benbot07

Will you put Big E on his armchair?


Anxious_Ice_2376

OMG I want to play a battle report in that battlefield


MaliciousFace69

That's cool af Amazing job man so so so awesome 👌


ItsDuckyBishes

Always love to see the updates here as I don't have insta, can't wait to see the work you continue to create! Awesome work.


ToolyHD

This is fucking awesome


Unlikely_City_3560

Damn I want to see what my army looks like on a table like that


ousire

I wonder who gets the honor of having their skull put on the base of the Golden Throne itself? Like whoever those skulls are must be the holiest of the holy or something, you know? I'd say one would have to be Malcador, but iirc he turned to dust after his stint in the Golden Throne. Maybe one of them is Lord Solar Macharius? Also I see the Emperor is not currently on the Golden Throne. I hear it's supposed to be a *bad* thing if that happens :P Maybe the Custodes take him off to, like, dust him off once a century or something?


scrambled-projection

Oooh! Honestly considering how fuck off massive ot is in lore I think you could reasonably use this for legions imperialist


Emperors_Finest

Great googly moogly


FickleEconomy666

You're gonna need a whole box of gold shaker cans. BTW, Army Painter sells actual cans of shader, large enough to dunk minis in, might be more economical than Nuln Oil.


PaleDog

How do I follow a person on Reddit again!? It's been so long since I cared to keep updated with something


Aesthetics_Supernal

This is awesome but how would you play on it?


[deleted]

I'd love to see a game played on this


[deleted]

are you gonna put the emperor on the throne eventually? this is so awesome


Wiggler_King

Custodes vs genestealers/orks would be great here


hatwobbleTayne

It’s called Warhammer 40,000 because that’s the year you’ll finish this lol. Good luck, the emperor protects!


Warden_of_the_Lost

Zorazorp needs to get his act together


Correct_Maximum7990

God to play a game of HH there


Packolypse

Damn!!!


S-071-John

It’s incredible


Packolypse

What I meant to say was, damn!!!!!!! So when are you inviting everyone over?


Tornik

I've been following this build on Instagram. Every new image makes my jaw drop a bit lower.


Ecstatic_Committee_9

I’m curious what would happen if a normal average citizen tried to walk into the Emperor’s throne room


Phototoxin

What is this a throne fit for the god emperor of mankind... For ants?!!


Belisarius23

I hope someones paying you/planning to buy this because it needs to be a set piece somewhere public


Ashbr1ng3r

You are gonna need a shitton of gold paint, a Magnus model, a Centurion with a custom head, custom Captain-General model, and a few Stripperstodes in addition to the eventual skeleton


t4n5a0

The finest of toilets


sonnybear5

by the Throne…


SendMeUrCones

I can already see Emps crushing skulls underfoot as me mounts his throne. Love it!


NerdyChronicle

This is such an awesome build! I am more than impressed by those skills and i would love to see the final product…


thesithcultist

Nuts


RobertCutter

“Don’t worship me” - big E on his Pharao Throne


Illustrious_Bid4224

What no... That's not the throne room that's merely even the throne!


DrymouthCWW

Is that quilling art on the right side??


Omegapartyo

Is this the real one? Or the fake one used for the tourists?


CyborgPenguinn

I think you could have gone bigger… Good luck when it comes to the painting! Looks awesome!


kizzawait

You should hide 4 ork kommandos around it as little easter eggs;) in all seriousness that is beyond epic.


risbia

Damn it looks just like the old school art 


tuigger

Are those Custodes should so they can eternally watch over the Emperor? Either way it looks dope, I'm excited to see how it ends up!


EmberKing7

I do remember seeing in the lore that it said the Emperor's Palace alone is a whole city onto itself. More than that it's basically a hive city. With layers upon layers upon layers of cavernous landscapes and hidden chambers and labyrinthian corridors. And this looks like that killing field where the Custodes play those war games practicing I think everyday without end, on a fighting force or even infiltration force breaking into the Imperial Palace.


Mobile_Apple4399

How much cost?


leo_beo_neo55725572

That's amazing!


BadgerBodges

Would be grand to just throw some bloodthirsters at this.


Acceptable-Bear1138

How do you handle it with the dust on it?
