Legio Custodes - Emperor's Inner Guard

The Legio Custodes was the Emperor's personal bodyguard. They are his most loyal and trusted servant. A detachment of the guard always accompanies the Emperor, even when he retires to is private chambers. During the 31st millenium they were equiped with the finest heavy battle power armour. Element of the armour can be found on the Grey Knight of later. At the death of the Emperor the Custodes replaced their ceremonial red with black. This figure represents a cerimonial guard of the golden throne. The silver was painted with the NMM

Wow this is the best custodes model I've seen!! I think I've figured out most of the major bits for this conversion. The flamer weapon (very cool btw!!) is made out of a Terminator Thunder Hammer, a SM flamer, and the creature head is from the Old Chaos vehicle Demon bits (you can find it on the war store) plus maybe part of an axe or some power weapon to make the shaft extending below his right hand longer. I think the helm is made from the Swooping Hawks wings, and the shoulder pads could be a combination of the Ork Boyz Riveted Shoulder pads plus green stuff. His belt buckle? is from the space marine command squad sprue I think. And I think the head is from the Space Marine Company Champion. I have no idea how the shield was made, maybe all green stuff. I'm going to try to recreate this model, hopefully I can make it a fraction as good as this one! Lemme know if anyone has any other thoughts, or correct me if I'm wrong! Great work by the way!!
