From StuartL - 10,000 Years of Guard Duty - 27 points

 Hello again. Having cleared the Gallery of Ancestors, we pass into the Guardroom, where we are looking to find some guards of some kind. Looking through the to-do piles, I came across the perfect security guard, an Adeptus Custodes from the Warhammer 40,000 setting. Genetically engineered to be faster, stronger and more deadly than any other being short of a Primarch, the Custodes are the personal bodyguards and palace wardens for the God-Emperor of Mankind.

While the Space Marines are our crusading around the galaxy, it's up to these golden armoured warriors to protect the single most important man in the Imperium. As the Emperor has been sat on his life support throne for the best part of 10,000 years, there isn't an awful lot of work to do. Functionally immortal, the Custodian Guard must have worn the floors of the Imperial palace away to nothing during their daily patrols. Obviously part of their genetic engineering must have been to remove their ability to become bored.

Clad in the finest armour and equipped with the fearsome Guardian Spear, (it looks more like a Glaive if you ask me), complete with an integral bolt gun, for when you need to shoot the guy you're chopping up, each Custodian is a supremely skilled and deadly warrior.

Also of note is that they are huge, even when compared to regular marines. This figure is on a 40mm base and stands head and shoulder taller than the tiny Ultramarine by his side. As such, I have scored him as a 40mm mini. I have 9 more of these golden chaps somewhere in my stash, so this mini is my test piece for the colour scheme I want to use. I was a bit hesitant about painting the golden armour, but it came out okay I think.

Anyway, 7 points for the mini plus 20 for the chamber should add 27 to my overall total. It also adds to my GW side duel. Strangely this figure has ZERO skullz. I don't know what GW's sculptor was thinking when he made this mini. 

My Running Duels Totals:
GW Points - 287
Skullz - 100

Squirrels - 4
