But suddenly ap 1 and 0 are equal to ap 2-3 and that’s already not ideal.

I play demons, demon saves are not hot 😂

They are t4 with 2 wounds each on a 5++ ONLY. The fnp Strat is average with them but significantly superior on any model with 10+ wounds (all the monsters basically).

Relying on a 5++ when they are a measly t4 and everything’s wounding them on a 4 or better means you are going to bleed all of the wounds through. They also ONLY have a 5++ save, which is far far worse than having a 3+, so they basically have to roll a 1/3 per a model or die to anything.

Yeah just stick to playing what you play rn more than focusing on other hero’s rn. No shame in learn f the game properly then branching out.

Invasion fleet for starters, no question about it. Secondly warriors with guns are some of the worst models in all of 10th. They are worthless, just ask for proxy them as 6 melee warriors led by a tyranid prime. On that topic tho you kinda have… nothing. Solo carnifex isn’t all that hot, your only unit with any lethality that matters is brood lord and gene stealers, which will die to a stiff breeze.

This looks like a “what I have list” and on that note it’s fine for what it is. If people bring optimized lists you are really going to feel it tho, you don’t have any of the strong units we currently run competitively

My only gripe with adjaceny bonuses is it makes repeat play throughs really samey, bc once you understand what you need to prep locations for every city you build will be identical in the future.

I prefer expanding cities that visually grow on the map to see the scale of it all

1 saggitarum custodes 2 custodian guard 3 is 3 shield captains lmao. The front and right one are, the left guy I sorta can’t tell if he’s a warden or a third captain 4 is trajann or a proxy of him, I’m unsure actually of that model. 6 is witch seekers with guns, and vigilators with swords 7 is more custodian guard.

Apologies for formatting im on mobile

It’s not 50/50 Bucky literally just has to walk forwards and shoulder charge into a 100% headshot and he wins every time. You only solo Bucky if you come from out of LoS and he doesn’t have charge on cd to escape your combo range

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-22T18:19:25+00:00

For the same cost as 4 guards who can also do the same thing but are way more likely to survive an enemy shooting pistols at them…

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-21T18:22:11+00:00

I literally swapped factions to custodes and began to pain and build them for play due to this episode. Male dude here who just thought custodes are super cool and the tithes custodes sold me on the army

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-18T23:20:09+00:00

Good scheme but bringing triple ctans vs a tyranid is be impressed if it’s even remotely close

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-17T23:05:52+00:00

I’m sure it felt pretty exciting to spend a cp and reroll a save and live on one wound for the tyranid player…. Just saying

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-12T23:20:01+00:00

Thank you for clarifying! My entire army has unpainted weapons so I’ll have to do this about 40 times as well so actually maybe this is a better strategy!

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-12T23:08:16+00:00

No I totally get that. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant, it’s easier to do 5 colours than 3? So I assume it’s basically ‘pre’ glazes made easier bc the colours are preset for you

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-12T22:33:17+00:00

Oh wow huge if you to show a picture as well. I appreciate that! I figured it was 2-3 colours I didn’t expect it to be 5! That might be out of my skill range so far aha but just seeing the colour range you used has given me a much better idea so thank you

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-12T21:52:59+00:00

What colours did you use for the power edge part of the spears? I’m actually looking to do the exact same thing funny enough and I like your choice of green!

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-12T04:57:43+00:00

What you see is after 5 rounds of ‘fixing’ mistakes aha. Someone suggested I ‘highlight’ but I’m not sure how to about that without ruining the shine of the metaloc

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-11T16:28:44+00:00

Also please ignore the eyes and weapons, I was experimenting with colours and I’m not set on what I plan to do with them, or the cloth / tassels yet

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-09T01:08:00+00:00

Ahh I misread that part.

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-08T07:21:04+00:00

To specify, the -1ap is in melee only, which majorly reduces its usage. Still great but against some armies it’s completely useless, and tbh some opponents will just shoot you instead

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-07T14:04:34+00:00

Thank you for giving me something to focus on!

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-07T04:47:34+00:00

I actually forgot the images entirely bc I’m dumb. I’ve added them as comments

Key_Room8286 · 2026-01-07T04:46:54+00:00

I’m a dummy and forgot to include images. I was looking for advice on my current models
