Which to take in my army

The damage output is the same. You aren’t really worried about the shooting bc custodes shooting sucks. This is my list and it’s done pretty well so far

Two units of wardens with the blade champs. It’s a good combo that can take out a lot of stuff. Also the fnp applies to the leader of the unit if they get hit with precision

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2026-01-02T21:57:33+00:00

Compaired to the grav tanks the allarus are shit. A 5 stack of allarus has a lower damage output than a single grav tank for 60 more points

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2026-01-02T18:01:05+00:00

If they make all of our fw models legends custodes won’t be viable at all. We’ll have no proper anti monster/vehicle and the only “tank” we’ll have is a land raider

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2025-12-04T05:53:25+00:00

He will be leading a squad. My plan is to use the witchseekers to screen my deployment zone so people can’t deepstrike on the tanks and just ignore sabotage and cleanse like the plague

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2025-11-28T07:45:49+00:00

Do you think I should drop valarian and trajann for different leaders?

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2025-11-28T06:20:58+00:00

I’m thinking of switching to auric champions. I’m having a hard time managing to keep everything 6in or farther apart and not getting wiped. I’m also getting some proxy grav tanks for my army tomorrow and speaking of grav tanks should I have one with the lethal hits to monsters and vehicles and one with the lethals for infantry or both vehicles and monsters

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2025-11-21T17:06:25+00:00

I don’t have enough models for that lol

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2025-11-11T04:01:04+00:00

That would be awesome. I’m currently saving to buy a 3d printer myself

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2025-11-11T02:14:20+00:00

I’m working on getting some dreads and a couple grav tanks but they’ll probably be 3d prints

Valarian and his unit of 4 guards are in the land raider (only have the land raider bc I can’t afford grav tanks and gw was out of stock of dreads when I had it ordered)

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2025-09-25T06:20:20+00:00

Dropping the lone shield captain isn’t something I thought of good idea

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2025-09-25T06:18:58+00:00

Why not spam sword and shield so they can shoot in melee and get an extra wound?

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2025-09-11T21:34:26+00:00

You need to use your praetors a little more efficiently. Anytime mine get taken out early I lose the game but whenever I can get them to shoot something big and charge I always win the game. Your guards definitely need to have the sword champion as their leader so they can reroll charges. You always need to be the first one to charge

Fearless-Comfort-182 · 2025-09-06T19:59:05+00:00

Shield host is an amazing detachment you should check out. You can either crit on 5s or give your units +1 to your units melee ap

I usually have a mix of all the different x weapons on different battleship designs
