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
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.
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 ;)
@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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
Well that's just great, I just finished converting a prince for each god (only for gw to announce the new one 3 days later) and now I want to do this for all 4 gods, I hope you're happy, you brilliant bastard.
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.
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.
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
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? ; )
@@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.
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.
These might be some of the best kitbashes you've made. The paint work is incredible, and sculpting is flawless. I can't tell where the bits end and the greenstuff begins 🖒
Really love the color choices. It's a close execution to what I think of with Custodes but just tweaked enough. The bright pale metallics against the really deep crimson just pops.
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.
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.
(Puts armored gauntlet on krieger's shoulder) Guardsmen, take it from a grey knight we need the titan heavy flamer for this heresy. Two to make sure its dead.
@@emile1365 wow man you dont use le reddit???!?!?!?! ur so cool and epic and awesome and breathtaking and wholesome 100!!!! please have intercourse with my wife😍😍😍😍😍
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.
As a custodes collectors... What in the name of the throne of Holy terra is this abominable heresy!? 🤬 As a long term fan of your work... *clicks tongue* Noice...! 😉
Holy cow, I love this idea (especially since I hate Nurgle's aesthetic normal, I don't like grotesque body horror) but doing a Scarlet Rot infested army is such a fantastic inspiration!
Right!? I was thinking if you did a 90 degree flip of the spear blades you could turn them into scythes. Maybe turn the head plumes into pipes a bit like Typhus has?
Amazing work! I think you'd do a fantastic job at converting the Adeptus Sororitas into the daughters of Nurgle, as often if they are converted they are done so to Slaanesh. Look forward to your next video!
Seeing stuff likes this really makes me want to Nurglify many different groups, the first one coming to mind is an idea ive had for a while. Nurgle-touched space wolves.
Oh, this shit is some Heresy! It looks amazing... Your painting, especially, as well as the way your ideas come to fruition from imagination to finished piece. I am both in awe and violently frothing at the mouth. 😂
Great work! How do you manage to avoid overhandling the model and removing paint with your fingers when not handling the model by the pin at the bottom? Whenever I handle my model with my fingers while painting for any length of time I always end up removing paint! Even when I have left the basecoat to dry for 24h+. Cheers
I've been working on a Death Guard kill team, but I was struggling with the color scheme. I had settled on a more traditional off-white with green trim set-up, but now I'm considering a shiny tarnished bronze and sickly red scheme. Still not sure, but you've definitely inspired me. As for other conversions, the Crucible Knights in Elden Ring are pretty iconic. I'd love to see your take on them in miniature form.
I was going to contact my local Inquisitor to have you shot for Heresy, but the models are fucking sick so it's all good. Seriously, great work as always!
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

He did that already. He’s done loyalist World Eaters and Death Guard at least. I think he also did Luna Wolves.
@@falsehero2001 I think he did Alpha Legion also.

Amazing idea Reminds me of sealed vessel from hollow knight.
I may just be blinded by the fact that I love this design, but to me Pete's painting skills have clearly improved.
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 ;)
He has this really smooth style that lends itself really well to close up photos!

I wholeheartedly agree. I see the progress and I see the improvement
Considering how he has done things from total war warhammer, I would love to see more of that kind of thing. (Specifically tomb kings)
You mean Warhammer Fantasy Battles

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
Or a cool necron army
Like a rusty gold and like grafted necrons like they’ve added parts from there fallen comrades
I actually pitched that idea for Genestealer cults aberrants for a twisted helic army
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.

Then i hope they never really reveal what happened to Valdor, because the tease is he's been corrupted by Chaos
@@AngelWolf12 Oh really? I thought he appeared more anti-chaos with his army of custodes and blanks

Yep. Honestly, I'd see this more as a nurgle-revived corpse or marine who stole Custodian gear
Corruption of flesh is much easier than the corruption of a soul, in this case.
I think Grandfather Nurgle would be proud
Hell yeah!!
Finally some powerful conversions!!
Maybe the silver knight of Slaanesh next?
I'd like to see Pete do a version of the Green Knight=)
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
Who was the green knight again? Like the warhammer fantasy Brettonia one?

I thought about making some Stormcasts Eternals in the style of Iudex Gundyr.
@@vatofdread1468 making dark fantasy stormcast is easier than you think, but require some sculpting because of the silly shoulder pads

And awesome! :D
Always a pleasure watching you work. Quick edit: I'd love to see some Nurgle-infested Orks!
Maybe one day!

This deserves a medal for the "Adeptus Pustodes" pun alone.
Woop woop, gotta love some nurgle
Oh my, is this a dream or is this the perfect crossover? :)

Nice idea! That would work very well, it would be cool to try and incorporate some bright, golden light effects into them.
My favorite Kitbasher played my favorite videogame and referenced my favorite Soulsborne meme: Git Gud
GW Watching this video..... Oh yeah, we're doing that..... ;)
Great work!
Now that the Combat Patrol box is out you can start a new army. :p
I like the idea for these custodes I also have a name for them Rotting Custodes
I love that
Thanks
Could you do a dark mechanicum conversion?
Hans, the heavy flamer might not be enough this time, get the super heavy flamer.

HERESY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!!!
Any thoughts about kitbashing new Crusaders? The old minis are showing their age, and I'd love to see where you'd take that conversion!
This is wild: I did a really similar color scheme last year on a Blightking from the Wurmspat, painting the spear-wielder like Dragonslayer Ornstein!
This might be the scheme that gets me to make a death guard kill team. Really great paint job!
Maybe you could do beastmen style space wolves?
Also, I think if these guys had a name, The Custodians of the Scarlet Rot doesn't sound too bad
I am Malenia, Blade of the Emperor, and I have never known defeat
Holy cow, I love this idea (especially since I hate Nurgle's aesthetic normal, I don't like grotesque body horror) but doing a Scarlet Rot infested army is such a fantastic inspiration!
That’s some serious tech heresy
You were so preoccupied with whether you could, you didn't stop to think if you should. THE GREATEST HERESY!
Awesome job btw.
Pete the wargamer?
Blimey! I remember you!
I'd started to think I'd dreamt you!
Great vid! Welcome back!
I _loved_ the metallics on the armour!
Heresy.
Await the Emperors vengeance
They look amazing! Specially the cloak. You took the conversion in a different direction than I expected, but it's awesome nevertheless.
Watched a couple of these kit bashes now and I have to say your skill is inspiring. ❤
Your are like the Bob Ross of conversion work. Totally gets me calm and inspired to break out the bitz box and just create.
damn dude, glad you decided to make one my dude
The method for the green blades is really interesting, I never thought of doing it that way.
Heresy. Also very good
Best looking Deathshroud Terminators I've ever seen!!!
Holy shit. Your painting skills just went through the roof!! What an advancement
As I love Death Guard and Custodes... well it's time I kitbash some Deathshroud terminators
Right!? I was thinking if you did a 90 degree flip of the spear blades you could turn them into scythes. Maybe turn the head plumes into pipes a bit like Typhus has?
Wow those metallic paints look like a game changer
Amazing work! I think you'd do a fantastic job at converting the Adeptus Sororitas into the daughters of Nurgle, as often if they are converted they are done so to Slaanesh. Look forward to your next video!
Oh lord that gold. THE GOLD! Best gold I’ve ever seen
Love your custom videos dude. Could you try a corrupted Tau battle suit, or guard tank?
my man finally did my dream army, now I've just gotta get the custodes
HERESY!!!!! That's it, I'm on the phone to the Inquisition!
It wouldn't be so bad if you hadn't done such a good job. 👍
Wonderful. Now I want to start a scarlet rot nurgle army.
Okay… the one with the nurgling in its gut reminds me of Krang! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
Seeing stuff likes this really makes me want to Nurglify many different groups, the first one coming to mind is an idea ive had for a while. Nurgle-touched space wolves.

You’re like a British Bob Ross sometimes. I’ve learned so many different skills from you.
You should try replacing tyranid bio weapons with mechanical imperium weapons. Like cyber demons from doom
It is depressing how easy you make these look :P
Man. Elden ring doing bits in the warhammer community too. Got to love it
My favorite armor in Elden Ring so far. Rocking this armor with my Winged Scythe as a Templar. Holy damage galore
Woohoo! Been waiting for another video from you!
Absolute heresy! (awesome kitbashing!)
So great, I love custodes :)
Hahahahah, I was just about to do this next month! And then bang recommended fantastic.
Anyone else wanna see Pete do a whole army of these???
My god they look amazing.
Great video, Pete!
Greate idea, love them!
i'd definitely add a bit more slime or rust to the armor, but thats just me
Maybe some patina/oxidation on the golden armor would be cool to see
hmm i have some custodes lying around and just ordered some death guard
😏
God damn I'm jealous of all the paints you have
This would make amazing Deathshroud Termies!
I was going to contact my local Inquisitor to have you shot for Heresy, but the models are fucking sick so it's all good.
Seriously, great work as always!
3 new deathshroud terminators I see
Also that gold recipe is fucking incredible
That's brilliant. And maybe Malenia would make a great Prince Demon of Nurgle with some Alarielle bits.
Mmm love too see some chaos turned loyalist
I do love the idea of the emperors finest getting touched by nurgal and I would like to see one touched by korn if you can
Would you consider a Khorne Corrupted Custodian?
It would be amazing if you did a custom Tyberos the red wake
If a chaos god corrupted a custodian other gods would never hear the end of the bragging 😂
I think I'd like to do something similar to those but for a Dornian Heresy Nurgle Sanguinary guard or Nurglite Sanguinor
awesome stuff man! these look amazing!
This is literally Hersey…… I love it
You might be off of supermans Christmas card list for is. Love the kitbash.
You have awesome skills but that is straight up heresy, brother. May Emperor have mercy on your soul.. 😅
