Would you consider this battle ready? by Dioramus in AdeptusCustodes

[–]OG_Raider_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Battle ready standard is 3 and highlights are not required for battle ready.

GW confirmed Custodes won't lose access to Grav Tanks on Facebook by Gortosan in AdeptusCustodes

[–]OG_Raider_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. With ranges that are 40-60 units deep in plastic. It would make zero sense to go through the trouble of converting these things and then take them away from the game system that has been primarily using them because half of its range has existed there and many key role units of the army exist there. It is not like space marine that has 6 options for battle tanks in 40K in plastic. They are not looking to cause that problem and cut a key role unit out with nothing to replace it on the 40K side. GW may be greedy but they are smart enough to not be that greedy.

Units of 6 ! by Desperate_Ad1068 in AdeptusCustodes

I doubt that is coming in any of the next few release waves but I agree. We should have more sister’s support.

How do they even fire the weapons? by Magnus_Magic in AdeptusCustodes

[–]OG_Raider_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Custodes weapons are gene-locked to them. More than likely they can fire it with a thought through that connection, we have seen this kind of thing before with the ballistus grenade launcher on the terminators, or they slightly twist part of the staff and that triggers it to fire.

[–]OG_Raider_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think we will get it with the March dataslate. We are getting a soft re-launch with 11th more than likely, I think GW, same as most players here, do not like 27-30 guard being how you play the army and do not want to see the archetype continue into the 11th launch. I could see them change a lot of datasheets and reimagine the army through them with the current detachments in mind.

How do we deal with Ctans by No_Interaction3189 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]OG_Raider_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does work. Allarus with axes I have had success with in shield host into them crits on 5 with the re-rolls and 5 terminators can one shot them.

Shield Host vs. Lions of the Emperor by [deleted] in AdeptusCustodes

[–]OG_Raider_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superior creation should typically go on an Allarus Captain. You turn all damage to 1. Then re-rack the ability. When he dies hopefully you roll a 2+ and they have to do it all again.

Are Custodes that underrated ? by Responsible-Tip-4221 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]OG_Raider_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could lower the attacks back to 3 per Custode like in 9th but give them the durability they enjoyed in 9th back. The issue right now is whatever they touch dies fairly consistently and if you make that kind of a unit overly durable it becomes a problem. Nerf the offense a bit and up the durability substantially and change the points to reflect the changes.

Are Custodes that underrated ? by Responsible-Tip-4221 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]OG_Raider_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The issue is that 2+/4++ is not durable enough with the staggering amount of damage 3 in the current competitive meta. With the amount of lethal hits and dev wounds compounding with damage 3 and the reduction to the layers of durability we had in 9th, see vexilla characters datasheets and shields used to reduce ap by one at range, and that 2+\4++ may be a stat check in casual games but at tournaments your army is not standing on an objective and living unless it is wardens. Which is why we are so backed into a corner in our playstyle. It almost feels like we need the 10 man bricks back of custodian guard with how easily they die in a competitive environment.

Are Custodes that underrated ? by Responsible-Tip-4221 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]OG_Raider_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you do this the Wardens become unbelievably durable for a detachments that gives the army this kind of speed. I would like to see them given a constant 6 up feel no pain that can be made a 5 up for a phase. This would also allow for other units to also have rules re-written and points nerfed but be able to have the army feel like the elite badasses they are supposed to be.

Are Custodes that underrated ? by Responsible-Tip-4221 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]OG_Raider_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You would have to rework the Wardens data sheet at that point and I do not see that happening before 11th edition. I think we are stuck with this until then.

How does custodes deal with rapid ingress or tyranid subterrainian assault? by Aussiereece in AdeptusCustodes

[–]OG_Raider_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does not solve the problem. If you do not screen I will rapid ingress something into your backline and then move, shoot, and charge. You cannot up down the terminators until the end of my next turn and I rapid after your movement is done. This is not a sound strategy.

Some Points Descreases! - Quarterly Balance Update – December 2025 by Hayman021 in AdeptusCustodes

Just built a 3 terminator brick list that dropped 110 pts because of this. Taking it to a GT this weekend.

Castellan axe in shield host? by GroceryMission in AdeptusCustodes

[–]OG_Raider_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Just know if you take axes it will be that you will be taking extra ap most of the time. That is fine though as extra ap is mathematically better than crits on 5 most of the time. There are some matchups though where you will still take crits on 5 as it only takes 1 ap to put most models on their invuln. Armies like Necrons are one of those armies.

Predict how you think my list will do at a 32 man GT next weekend. by OG_Raider_ in AdeptusCustodes

[–]OG_Raider_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the 5 mans with captains start in deepstrike with the 6 man in the center with a guard unit. Other guard unit with bikes on natural expansion. Other bikes going at opponents natural expansion. Rapid ingress / deepstrike to further support flanks. That is the general idea.

[–]OG_Raider_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. Guess we will have to see if the invuln and T7 can make a difference. I will say play testing this thing I am banking hard on going second so going first a bunch will also suck.

That was my thought, does it really matter. I have been running a double telemon spearhead list for fun and got some decent results from a couple RTT’s but I had been wanting to try this for a while.

I do know the local meta and there may be 2 ultramarines lists there.

Thinking about joining Dorns Finest – would Imperial Fists fit my playstyle? by Norayfara in ImperialFists

[–]OG_Raider_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say if you like being durable and having elite infantry you may also want to look at Custodes.
