40k: We Painted Brass and Deep Purple Custodes with NMM Blue Blades

The most happy surprises we get with color schemes seems to be with Adeptus Custodes. We’re typically asked to do custom schemes for them — and the clients keep picking bangers.

I quitc liked this scheme. The brass and purple worked well together, and the blue added to the cool tones of the palette. We 3d printed the bases.

These were painted to Showcase and Exhibition Quality.

Black Adeptus Custodes - 40k Miniature Painting Service

Gold is a pretty intense color for a basecoat. It looks cool — but it tends to shout out everything else, and limits you palette for creating contrast. Doable? Yes. Nice? Also, yes. However, you want to be sure it’s what you want.

Use Black, Get Away with Anything

Here is an Adeptus Custodes 40k painting service commission we just finished. Please note, we did NOT come up with this palette. However, we can tell you why it’s great:

1 - Black is neutral so it works with anything

2 - By being the dominant color, the black allows the gold to do what it does best - draw attention to the trim and flair

3 - The darkness contrasts well with the gold’s brightness (what painters call ‘value’)

Black works with pretty much any scheme, but I feel in terms of theme and having ‘posh’ looking figures, it works particularly well with Custodes.
