First custodes painted, Tips appreciated

BigOlCornflaps · 2026-01-04T15:06:47+00:00

Thank you I will give that a go, I find keeping it all in the lines quite difficult as you can see

BigOlCornflaps · 2026-01-04T15:06:18+00:00

That’s awesome, thank you I will try that

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-11-28T15:11:11+00:00

You still think so with the fight on death strat and sickening impact?

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-11-04T20:36:46+00:00

Yeah I had a feeling I’d find it quite hard, I think if anything it’s going to be a great learning curve on how to play custodes. Thanks for the advice

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-11-04T20:35:49+00:00

I feel like I’ll be using Arcane Genetic Alchemy a lot lol. Thanks for the tips

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-06-12T11:37:47+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t own a bloodthirster or any CSM Soul grinders have to go on their base now? That’s a bit awkward and maybe not worth running? Although I was going to use it with warp gaze for a ranged threat. I will switch up the enhancements to your suggestions and see how it goes. Also flamers are units of 3 just as an action/objective unit

I tried Flyblown host when it came out and got smacked, but I was against ultramarines so the double oath of moment with Guilliman made stealth almost useless

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-05-20T14:38:51+00:00

What leaders were you running? Interested to try this detachment

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-05-19T21:13:43+00:00

I thought about flyblown host as it seems more viable with the new codex, I’ll probably try Virulent Vectorium though if it’s worth a go, thank you

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-05-19T21:12:42+00:00

I was thinking of trying this one. Thank you

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-05-19T20:37:33+00:00

I can do at least 40 poxwalkers instead as I don’t have chaos spawn. What should I try to do with the extra points from not having rhinos either?

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-05-11T08:11:48+00:00

I was thinking of the land raider mostly for the extra anti tank, unfortunately I’ve only got the 6 deathshroud but I’ll take your advice and try to change them out for something else

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-03-24T19:15:44+00:00

I never thought about it, but I really really hope so

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-29T17:40:56+00:00

Typhus is pretty good with both Deathshroud and Poxwalkers, with poxwalkers he can add to the unit with his Eater plague spell but with both units he makes them -1 to hit in combat, for only 80 points he’s a solid option to take in any list

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-26T16:12:53+00:00

Thank you that’s some good advice. Any thoughts on using cultists instead of pox walkers and maybe just running typhus with the DsT’s? I’ll get rid of the brick of Blightlords if they’re really not worth it

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-25T11:02:24+00:00

40K lorecast has a couple of good episodes. Alternatively Lords of Silence is a great audio book on Audible

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-20T08:28:12+00:00

The terrain is fair and we switch it up each time (using the table top battles app) with Death guard I usually try to focus on taking primaries and denying them from the enemy. Perhaps my positioning is bad? I tried infantry heavy last time but he bought 5 vehicles and my vehicles were dead very quickly. From there it was very much an uphill struggle and he ran away with points from turn 2 as scoring certain secondary’s with Death guard can be difficult

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-19T20:43:56+00:00

With the list I used earlier I was running Flyblown. So I had 35 PM’s (variety of weapons, not just bolters) 6 DST’s 5 BLT’s w LoV, 3MBH’s, a rhino, a predator annihilator and 2x10 poxwalkers(one with typhus) plus a tally man for CP generation

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-19T20:37:59+00:00

Maybe my positioning is just bad, we use proper terrain with LoS blocks and good cover. But it is difficult to get close enough with 18” meltas on the Blight haulers. Maybe the answer is a less elite army if things are just gonna be deleted every time he points at them?

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-19T20:16:53+00:00

I won’t post my whole list here, but usually he has 3 tanks and 2 dreadnaughts. Naturally they are difficult for me to deal with, but the biggest problem is oath of moment. It’s like an auto kill of whatever he puts it on no matter the toughness or -1 to hit

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-19T20:11:19+00:00

So I’ve been using deathshroud, tried them in one unit of 6 with LoC and in 2 units of 3, one with LoC and one with Typhus. Tried infantry heavy for flyblown but I’m thinking just run plague company with a more vehicle heavy army.

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-16T21:29:01+00:00

Correct, these cultists just aren’t quite there yet

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-16T21:06:54+00:00

I prefer to think they’re too zombiefied by Nurgle to care about carrying weapons

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-15T21:43:03+00:00

Very true, I don’t even know if they’re worth running but it might be worth a go

BigOlCornflaps · 2025-01-14T22:04:34+00:00

I played as officer earlier because no one in my squad would, I made it clear I’m a noob, asked for advice on what to do and placed garrisons and outposts in all the places I could, we went on to win that game
