You don’t see a Cosplay like this every day, come see one of the first Custodes costumes out there!

Spikey Bits reader Clark Gardiner rocked this suit of Custodes Armor around the UK cosplay scene last year. He modelled the armor after none other than the protector of the Emperor himself Constantin Valdor.

I guess his work or significant other didn’t fancy him donning a Mohawk to complete the character! No worries though, this is one of the best suits I’ve seen in a long time, and surely the only Custodes one thus far!

Great work Clark! Maybe we’ll see a suit of Grey Knights armor from him next!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.

LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
