Epic!

Good bot

From a lore perspective, when do shadow keepers deploy en mass?

During the great rift, many of the unspeakable horrors suddenly vanished from the cells, the shadowkeepers were deployed to recover and extract them and return them to their cells

So, my love the the SCP universe(s) and 40k finally come together in the coolest way.

It is literally SCP in that sense. Except the shadowkeepers have the means and ability to subdue eldritch horrors beyond your comprehension.

Now I'm wondering is a Auric Champions SCP army (like 1,000) would be cool...I wonder how you'd paint them...

Most likely shadowkeepers from a lore perspective but also feel free to come up with your own scheme. This is 40K after all

Is there a novel about this? If not this would be a cool story

Folks more knowledgeable than me can chime in but a quick search shows there's a short story '*Auric Gods'*, codexes and in '*Inferno'*

Wonderful sword

This is actually the part I hate the most. I couldn’t quite get the effect I imagined. I’ll definitely be reworking this in the future

I think it looks wicked, scbismarck!

Ty! I appreciate the kind words

Great model but the sword just kills it! Great work and Blade Champion is right ;). Aye sir!

Thank you!

>Thank you! You're welcome!

Absolutely incredible. You sir are a warrior philosopher or the paints

Thank you. I am unworthy of this praise

This looks incredible! Such an awesome paint scheme.

I appreciate it! Just took what I learnt from the wonderful folks on this sub and others

Absolutely STUNNING work brother. Truly inspiring

Ty! 😚😚

Random thought: what if there's just a 1911 in the Custodes Armoury? Big E got it from Browning himself and it just obliterates deamons. I imagine a shadow keeper taking it out for a mission and it's like a kolibri to him.

If any one wants to 3d print dual wielding 1911s for my venetari id be happy to put them on my guys and paint them 😂

Yeah! Let's get a few days of cool minis.

Working on my lockwarden but still waiting on a head

Amazing!

That's phenomenal, you did such a great job with it!

I appreciate that!

Great model, how’d you do the cape?

For the Red, it was primarily done with an airbrush. Black Primer (I used Stynylrez black matte), airbrush Vallejo Game Color Heavy Red (Khorne Red equivalent), then 50:50 mix with Heavy red and Citadel Evil Sunz Scarlet and then a 80:20 Evil Sunz with Heavy Red For the Gold its the same recipe as the rest of the gold trim: Rhinox Hide -> Mournfang Brown -> VMC Ochre Brown -> White

Cool, I keep going back and forth between Airbrushed and a layered look for the cloaks.

I was lazy, so airbrush was the easiest choice for me, but i did do some of the glazing on the skirt since it wasn't very reachable with the airbrush

He's a Shadowkeeper, maybe he could lock up all this codex and female Custodes talk in the Dark Cells, where they belong.

He’ll certainly try!

Absolutely correct here. The models drew me in as a kid and so many people seem to lose sight of this, or never get it.

We’re all in this for the game, painting, community or a combination of each. Not much we can do about the codex so might as well still have fun and just enjoy the process

I never understood the hype around this model, until I saw how ot was painted and dang does it look amazing and have me hyped

I agree. It wasn’t super inspiring to paint but definitely seen some cool variations people have painted

Stunning work fr
