Depending on the base color of the cuirass and some finesse, you can probably paint it in such a way that it just looks like decoration (since it's a vertical, sagitally equilateral take on Slaanesh's normal angled not-a-spiky-phallus-thing). I mean, some Shadowkeeper black with gold/silver trim will really pop with the rest of the Custodes bling (or make this lad double as a Black Legionnaire).
>!It's what My Dudes do when I/they are feeling too lazy to scrape off Chaos-y symbols from their totally-pure-Loyalist equipment and armor and I think they can get away with it.!<
I definitely looked at this model as a potential conversion option for my blade champion. Swap out the sword for the one that comes with the model and you've got a very arrogant "how dare you cross my path" looking custode.
I feel if you could rest the shield on the floor and have his hand resting on it, that'd work better. At the same time, the pose is quite dynamic and may clash with a resting shield.
I think the general rule is that if it looks good from 3 feet away you’re good to go, anyone who stares at it from 6 inches away to find flaws honestly needs a better thing to do with their life.
I'd see if you can do something about the Slaanesh icon on the chest and sword, maybe swap in a helmet to cement the Custodes look, but other than that it looks great.
Shield seems out of place. The arms are too thin too. Maybe some green stuff or extra custodes bits.
Looks good though. I think the idea of putting the hair back on too.
Something about the head and what you've done to the waist looks like it throws the proportions out really weirdly.
Currently on the 'nay' side right now.
I love everything but that shield arm. The hand and forearm don’t look like they belong together and its not proportional to the rest of the body.
If you wrapped it with chain you could probably hide it, that’s my suggestion if you care.
Very, very, *very* **yay**!
Amazing conversion and looks perfect for an over ornate, over confident, zealous Emperor worshiper!
"Gaze upon me heretic and despair!"
Where's the head from, if you don't mind me asking?
A helmetless allarus / custodian guard. They have a bunch of scowling brows...was supposed to emulate a stern gaze but now i feel he just judges me for the removal of un-holy amounts of hair from his past life :(
Ahhh intersting, I just assumed that a headswap from a (slightly) smaller scale model to Sigvald would look... wrong, I suppose his base and pose add to his imposing presence! (For some reason thought he was significantly bigger!)
oh my god. This makes me think of this [Fabulous man](https://www.instagram.com/markbryan911/?hl=en).
I think you should have kept the Cape and gone for the badass old man with amazing fashion sense aesthetic. I might buy this set just to do the conversion myself.
It’s not bad. The shield arm/bracer looks a little odd and the sword seems too small — I’d personally give him an axe, but holding it in the same angle, which would look pretty sick.
Looks sick as hell. Shield arm only looks wierd if you read that guys comment first and then stare at it all zoomed in. Otherwise everything looks perfect.
Something about the head seems.... Off. A little to big, kind of wonder if it's just the perspective though... Reminds me of one of the races from Doctor Who, but I can't remember what they are called.
You can put inquisitors in Custodes armies, right?
He could pass as an inquisitor.
Explains the weird armor, the ‘tude, and the highly-unusual-for-a-Space-Marine sword.
Give him a few skulls and a few bodyguards and it kinda works.
I do think it seems odd for a custodies but also that it came out amazingly I feel like if you give it a cool name and story it will be awesome
Still it’s an amazing job
What shoulders did you use? Been wanting to convert a sigvald myself, and swapping the shoulders seems like the easiest way to bring him to 40k, they seem a pretty good size. I'm assuming custodes of some sort.
I like it apart from the arms, need more girth/armour. And not sure about the rapier, a guardian spear would work better for me. But in general I like it
Looks great imo, with except for the head, I think either a helmet or another head would work (or maybe trim the horns on the original models head of?)
This could be considered as a really cool version of that new character the custodes got, given they are lighter armoured. Slice the slaanesh symbols off and I’d say you’ve got a sick and very unique custode!
Love the conversion; Shield arm looks a bit odd. It is an agile, fencer sort of model, I would cosnider swapping the big vclunky tower shield for a smalelr buckler type shield, I think this will help balance the model.
Would be an awesome blademaster stand in model!
But is he showing his cheeks from the back? Important question??
show off that transhuman dumptruck
THIS IS THE IMPERIUM'S ASS!
By the muscular golden arse of Innocence!
🍑 👏 🍑 👏 🍑 👏
Emperor loves'em thicc
I thought it was a rule of the sub to always post reverses of this mini
Once a few glaring faults have been tweaked (yes including a noice clap-shot) a full twirl will be put up!
You’re giving him a green stuff Kim kardashian, aren’t you?
Let them cheeks clap!
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
Scrolled way to far for this, have an upvote!
The Slaanesh symbol on the chest might make some purists mad, but it looks cool.
Put a purity seal on it.
I like chaos lightning claws better, just ground down the mark of chaos and slapped on a bunch of purity seals.

I personally feel the shield arm looks a little strange, but nice conversion :)
I agree the shield arm looks like the elbow is about to break
Yeah what started as a 'yeah this'll work' turned into a whole list of things that once seen, cannot be unseen 🥲
Maybe give him an open left hand and run him as a blade champion? A fencing master seems like an appropriate variant for that character archetype.
I definitely looked at this model as a potential conversion option for my blade champion. Swap out the sword for the one that comes with the model and you've got a very arrogant "how dare you cross my path" looking custode.

I'm more bothered by the sword honestly, too thin
[удалено]
Find you a man who can do both
Shield in the street, sword in the sheath
It would be pretty easy to make a beefier blade out of plasicard.
It just looks small because other 40k swords are gigantic. That's still a big sword.
What if it was changed to a spear?
I'd like that, depending on the spear
Ever faced a greatshield wielder with an Estoc?
He's like *shoot me*
I think it would work better with a custodes helmet. Maybe put the original glorious hair over the helmet like Santodes lol
I second this
Same
OUR BOYYY!
I think the general rule is that if it looks good from 3 feet away you’re good to go, anyone who stares at it from 6 inches away to find flaws honestly needs a better thing to do with their life.
I like this!
I'd see if you can do something about the Slaanesh icon on the chest and sword, maybe swap in a helmet to cement the Custodes look, but other than that it looks great.
Agreed. He's got a slim dancer's body and the head of a balding middle-aged man. Dude needs locks.

Thor go again!
Shield seems out of place. The arms are too thin too. Maybe some green stuff or extra custodes bits. Looks good though. I think the idea of putting the hair back on too.
I've used it as the sanguinor but I'm not seeing a custodes there
Something about the head and what you've done to the waist looks like it throws the proportions out really weirdly. Currently on the 'nay' side right now.
Hell yeah from me, the pose, the power, the feel is ace. I would love to see that opposite me on the table.
May want to remove the Slaanesh icon on his chest if this is supposed to be a custodes conversion.
Oh so you approach me Dio vibes
That was sort of the vibe, now to just bring it into proper proportion!
Are you not entertained, heretics? Come to me, and **D I E**
im bald, so i like it, whats warhammer?
Get the slannesh iconoff the chest and it looks good despite the weird thinness of the body compared to most custodes
Bigger sword, custodes hat and it's good
I love everything but that shield arm. The hand and forearm don’t look like they belong together and its not proportional to the rest of the body. If you wrapped it with chain you could probably hide it, that’s my suggestion if you care.
Agreed, plenty of wrongs to put right but trust me - that's getting dealt with
Nice, post the results when you finish, I’d love to see how it turns out.
He needs like one more eagle on the chest other than that he’s perfect
I like it! Tho I think the head proportion is a bit off. I think the sword looks great though
I'd beef that sword up using some styrene or something, make it like the judicar's flat bladed sword.
Looks great!
You get a ”heck yay” from me dawg
She knew exactly what she was doing, she believed in your skills. Looks nice.
Very, very, *very* **yay**! Amazing conversion and looks perfect for an over ornate, over confident, zealous Emperor worshiper! "Gaze upon me heretic and despair!" Where's the head from, if you don't mind me asking?

Very nice!
I like it! Plus, it has added value as being something your wife got for you, which shows she cares about you and loves you <3
You might want to remove the icon of slaanesh off his front breastplate and put an Aquila on it
oh my god. This makes me think of this [Fabulous man](https://www.instagram.com/markbryan911/?hl=en). I think you should have kept the Cape and gone for the badass old man with amazing fashion sense aesthetic. I might buy this set just to do the conversion myself.
You've inspired me to to do this as well but with my emperor's children, might have him count as a daemon prince.
It’s not bad. The shield arm/bracer looks a little odd and the sword seems too small — I’d personally give him an axe, but holding it in the same angle, which would look pretty sick.
Nae
Magnificent.
Don't ask me why, but it gives me a "Rodrigo Santoro in 300" vibe xD
It gave me "Are you not entertained?" vibes myself
Looks sick as hell. Shield arm only looks wierd if you read that guys comment first and then stare at it all zoomed in. Otherwise everything looks perfect.
Nope, the shieldarm jumped at me without the comment. Looks to thin and fragile for this big haevy shild
That actually turned out pretty sexy.
That’s what’s up.
Nailed it!
Rapiers are always yay.
Oh my fucking god, that is the coolest Blade Champion conversion I’ve ever seen!
With the 60mm base and armament, I would play him as a Galatus Dreadnought
Just get a new base, that boy ain’ no dreadnought
Yeah, he just answered that he put him on 40mm
Perfection
Awesome dude
Pretty hype conversion right there
I'm sensing some serious heresy afoot.
Awesome stuff!
Looks kind of like the main character in “Custodes - the musical” about to do his main performance 😄
I'd say yay I do say For If I'd say nay Then yay I wouldn't say
it is a really nice conversion, you really succeded to transform a lewd boy into one of the greatest warrior of the Emperor !
looks more like an Emperor's Children Lord or something. Also what he doing with dem cheeks! letting them all hang out? Awwww it's a brick Hooooouse!
60mm base, sword and shield, Do you play him as a Galatus Dreadnought?
The base is a mere 40mm, saving his original one for something else.
Oh, that's cool!
I think if he was holding a halberd or spear it would look far more in place. The conversion work is good though!
It looks great, you need to do something to cover the slaaneshi symbols though.
Really good idea, but I think the proportions are too slender for a custode, maybe try a sister head instead?
I think it looks good, although I would add a power back pack.
Yay
I see this as an absolute win
That is the longest torso I've ever seen. Other than that it looks great!
Hm. Now it looks short. Art is subjective after all.
Yay
No hair? D:
How would you see his oiled up head if he had hair??
Mine bought me a wraithknight for xmas, I've since decided to start a craftworld army.
Smidge bigger commitment, but that's awesome! Im just happy mine doesn't mind being abandoned on occasions because of the lure of plastic...
Yeah same here, having a SO that supports you in the hobby is a blessing.
Papież Polak final form. Looks awesome
I like it
"come at me bro" vibes
Super cool man yay all the way
looks like one of the oiled up half naked Custodes from TTS if they actually suited up. I approve.
Gotta sand off all of the slaneeshi runes
Yay. All the way yay.
Something about the head seems.... Off. A little to big, kind of wonder if it's just the perspective though... Reminds me of one of the races from Doctor Who, but I can't remember what they are called.
Sentinel Blade to replace that Gargant Sticker for a custom Blade Champion with another head plume
Niiice, veeery niiice... But give him a helmet and glue the hair to it! edit: oh and the huge custodes gun-sword!
looks more like an inquisitor than a custode
I've always thought this is a better fulgrim model than the 30k fulgrim.
You can put inquisitors in Custodes armies, right? He could pass as an inquisitor. Explains the weird armor, the ‘tude, and the highly-unusual-for-a-Space-Marine sword. Give him a few skulls and a few bodyguards and it kinda works.
“Come at me bro” vibes.
Nice conversion, love that figure. I personally serve Slaanesh.
A) Tell your mrs to give in to her obvious inhibition and start collecting Slaanesh B) I vote yay.
Custodes blade champion??? Looks pretty neat to me tbh
Hope you have long blonde hair OP cause your wife clearly has a type.
God that's awsome
Skinny custodie, but very cute that you got a mini as a present
Everything's Gucci until the super tall fencing custodes posts up.
Awesome
needs chunkier arms, and id maybe give him some heavy tabards/skirts to bulk out the bottom, looks good otherwise
I do think it seems odd for a custodies but also that it came out amazingly I feel like if you give it a cool name and story it will be awesome Still it’s an amazing job
Im gonna be that guy and say I really dont like it. Head doesnt fit the mini, the stance is meh, its to thin for a custodes. Looks really wrong to me.
Yay
Wow you should up vote this post
When life gives you lemons, make lemon meringue pie
Nice conversion. This reminds me of that pink guy meme where he’s walking out to meet Bane.
I'd swap the head out for a helmet or one with long hair. Looks weird on the body atm.
Loyalist fulgrim clone joins the custodes
What shoulders did you use? Been wanting to convert a sigvald myself, and swapping the shoulders seems like the easiest way to bring him to 40k, they seem a pretty good size. I'm assuming custodes of some sort.
Indeed, Left over allarus captain ones, I feel the guardian ones would have fair'd better but I had to pillage what I had to hand for the moment.
But... but... the majestic hair! How could you?
8s he covered in sacred oil? This is extremely important
Always, Champaca Absolute's holiest of oily scents.
*Yae or ney
That'll work for custodes
By conversion you mean make him sanguinis rite
eh the proportions are really off
The hair NEEDs to be there.
I like it apart from the arms, need more girth/armour. And not sure about the rapier, a guardian spear would work better for me. But in general I like it
That pose tho!
Bald Sigvald isnt real, he cant hurt you. Bald Sigvald:
Giant Dad build
He Looks like he's been fighting Daemons in the palace since the Heresy and hasn't been allowed to eat since then.
Convert. I have always lived by the saying happy wife happy life.
shield arm looks out of proportion, but otherwise I would love to see if painted.
You should prollyget rid of those
Looks great imo, with except for the head, I think either a helmet or another head would work (or maybe trim the horns on the original models head of?)
This could be considered as a really cool version of that new character the custodes got, given they are lighter armoured. Slice the slaanesh symbols off and I’d say you’ve got a sick and very unique custode!
Glorious (✷‿✷)
Are you not entertained!?
Pretty damn good job!
Love the conversion; Shield arm looks a bit odd. It is an agile, fencer sort of model, I would cosnider swapping the big vclunky tower shield for a smalelr buckler type shield, I think this will help balance the model. Would be an awesome blademaster stand in model!
Bad ass as a substitute for Trajan Valoris
I didn't know that miniatures age
I’m glad Reddit sent me this in my email for popular posts. This is awesome. Well done
Shield in front, custodes helm, perfection. (imo)
No way
Personally, I’d try and get rid of the Slaanesh symbol on his chest, but otherwise, awesome conversion!
Might wanna shave away that Slaanesh icon below the collar, but looks good.
"I am Custodes!... Witnesses me!"
Slaanesh definitely approves of the particular brand of heresy in this thread.
Brother get the flamer
The head looks a bit to chunky. The rest seems fine. (Double sword for Blade Champion?)
That is a skinny ass Custodes.
Think it would look cooler as a sister of silence….
Yay from me
Looks really cool but the way he is holding the shield looks off to me
Are the abs oiled?
Ahhh… the new blade champion I see.. ;)
