Kitbashing NURGLE CORRUPTED Adeptus Custodes

[@AnimatedIsaac]

You’ve chaosified a lot of loyalists, ever thought about doing the opposite? Turning a chaos marine into truescale loyalists? Maybe they’ve decided to fight for the emperor again but still have to avoid the imperium’s judgement

[@lonegoat81]

The Great "Clean" One flashbacks intensify!!

I may just be blinded by the fact that I love this design, but to me Pete's painting skills have clearly improved.

[@NbassMc]

They have! Still im missing some things here, nurglings face eg. oder the eyes of the custodes. But all in all as long as i cant kitbash like Pete, he does not have to paint like me ;)

[@collegeoffoliage6776]

He has this really smooth style that lends itself really well to close up photos!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

@Stefan Nette I probably should have elaborated further on these but the eyes were tackled in the same way as the halberd and the Nurgling was simply washed a couple more times with the transparent red. His teeth and horns were painted in the same way as the black areas.

[@NbassMc]

@@PeteTheWargamer pete, that was not to be meant rude youre doing a great Job and I adore your work! Im just a glowing eyes guy 😂😉

[@Paragon--bm1lp]

I wholeheartedly agree. I see the progress and I see the improvement

[@LOVEMUFFIN_official]

I like the idea that this Custodian has physically succumbed to Nurgle, but has not betrayed the Emperor. He wages an endless battle against the Chaos that attempts consume him in an effort to eventually destroy himself and his impurity, but while still serving his master’s will.

[@Nebulaeous1]

Amazing idea Reminds me of sealed vessel from hollow knight.

[@caveychip7510]

Considering how he has done things from total war warhammer, I would love to see more of that kind of thing. (Specifically tomb kings)

[@vykhlop5185]

You mean Warhammer Fantasy Battles

[@damianallen4964]

I've recently learned of an alternate Heresy, where the Emperor actually pursues godhood, upon gentle suggestion from Lorgar. Even his Custodes, being Loyal to Him, fell with him. This is a wonderful visual reference, for what Chaos Custodes could be!

[@thewayfarer8849]

I can hear the Guardian Spears being sharpened. It's a great idea, and works well aesthetically with the use of flesh colours and the gold, sickly green just being used for the blades. There's an advantage I think is missing from the actual range too: none of the unhelmeted long tongues that have to be on everything. Makes the corruption more imposing; you know what's under the helmet which keeps the style and utility, but can imagine what's ruined underneath.

[@queencyrys6309]

I prefer the AOS ones too, those helmets are just so creepy

[@dalek2564]

Really interesting to see something from Elden ring transferred to the Warhammer universe. Always thought the grafted the game like Godrick would make some really great chaos daemons

[@I_Made_it_Up]

Or a cool necron army

[@I_Made_it_Up]

Like a rusty gold and like grafted necrons like they’ve added parts from there fallen comrades

[@queencyrys6309]

I actually pitched that idea for Genestealer cults aberrants for a twisted helic army

[@dongliker]

Idk if people realize how generic all fantasy is. Elden ring, mtg and warhammer are all pretty damn similar. They are totally interchangable and likely have a lot of the same concepts artists working on them.

[@the_king_of_kings_3413]

Hell yeah!!
Finally some powerful conversions!!
Maybe the silver knight of Slaanesh next?

[@emile1365]

I'd like to see Pete do a version of the Green Knight=)

[@mochristie5419]

the heads on the slaanesh myrmidesh guys have a head like the darksouls knights quite a bit- honestly those on an astarte would have the same weird elongated proportions

[@the_king_of_kings_3413]

Who was the green knight again? Like the warhammer fantasy Brettonia one?

[@emile1365]

@@the_king_of_kings_3413 That's the one, you have it right.

[@MrBeaverwarrior]

Ironically, custodes are completely incorruptible. Even more so than grey knights. There is a story that features an incident when a super powered demon trapped in a sword was shoved through a custodes defending the webway gate on terra. Custodes booked it into the warp and while he wasn’t heard from again, the sword did pop up. When it mentioned custodes again, he said it was the most boring stab ever because there was no chance the custodes would ever fall.

[@AngelWolf12]

Then i hope they never really reveal what happened to Valdor, because the tease is he's been corrupted by Chaos

[@Brother_Rony]

@@AngelWolf12 Oh really? I thought he appeared more anti-chaos with his army of custodes and blanks

[@leonardomarquesbellini]

Custodes are only as incorruptible as they want to make them, when GW wishes ti have Chaos Custodes they'll make Chaos Custodes. And they're right, the hobby is all about mixing things up and getting creative. Primaris were also supposed to be resistant to Chaos and genetic flaws, but Chaos Primaris and Primaris falling to the Red Thirst and Black Rage already popped up.

[@argokarrus2731]

Yep. Honestly, I'd see this more as a nurgle-revived corpse or marine who stole Custodian gear

[@YOOT_JJ]

Corruption of flesh is much easier than the corruption of a soul, in this case.

[@marccrener497]

I really think a full aos army with an Elden Ring or Dark Souls theme would be incredible =3
I really love you work Pete, you're a great source of inspiration! ^^
As a friendly suggestion, why not try to convert a Be'Lakor as Manus from Dark Souls 1? ; )

[@vatofdread1468]

I thought about making some Stormcasts Eternals in the style of Iudex Gundyr.

[@livanbard]

@@vatofdread1468 making dark fantasy stormcast is easier than you think, but require some sculpting because of the silly shoulder pads

[@vatofdread1468]

@@livanbard I figured. What I’d do is get some super glue and mix it with some modge podge to create a tarnished metal surface. What MidWinter Minis did with his Death Guard (one of them anyway). The shields, I’d cut into them with an exacto knife. You get the idea.

[@vatofdread1468]

I think a cool detail would be to have black fluid leaking out of their armor, mostly from their eyes. Though I also though there’d be skeletons inside, but I think I’m more for that black liquid idea.

[@bait4sale9001]

Thanks for this. After playing Chaos Gate, I wanted to try my hand at Nurgle-fying some Grey Knights. Now I can use this as a way to make my fever dream into reality. Thanks.

[@nerdaitami7205]

One of The Idea's that has been trotting in my head since I played Elden Ring was an army of Erdtree Sylvaneth and Wood elves. Like maybe they could be an elite force from the living city, the mortals clad in golden armor marching alongside Sylvaneth with glowing golden leaves.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Nice idea! That would work very well, it would be cool to try and incorporate some bright, golden light effects into them.

[@edibleapeman]

Always a pleasure watching you work. Quick edit: I'd love to see some Nurgle-infested Orks!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Maybe one day!

[@djchappell1726]

They could be called 'Nature-boys', just in a more Cockney accent. Some variant of 'Musheoon-boys' would also fit Nurgle'd Orks.
Nurgle being nature on top of rot only being capable of enhancing their fungal abilities/growth due to the tampering of the Old Ones. Fungus Caps sprouting out of their shoulder blade, wounds pouring out liquid spores, and their intelligence growing yet dimmer due to Nurgle messing with their internal balance.

[@duckstuffer2152]

What would be awesome is maybe a kitbashed Thousand Sons sorcerer in terminator armor with a jackal styled head attached. Or some other animal head to add to the Egyptian theme, the jackal seemed intriguing due to the reference to Anubis.
