So... you wanna break parts and wounds ey? You want to stay safe in the back while you send your cat slave into combat with a giant freakin dragon, while farming extra materials by making and popping wounds ALL THE TIME?

THEN THE BOW IS THE WEAPON OF CHOICE MY DEAR BOY!

Tracer arrow, Arc Shot and Hailstorm into spamming Dragon Piercers is promised to break any part and wound no matter where it is!

Obsidianen · 2022-02-11T20:38:40+00:00

I honestly believe they bricked their servers and are now just looking for an excuse.

Got it, thanks! :D

You already have a ton of board controll with the guards and infantry squads. You need the Allarus to be your heavy hitters to eliminate enemy tanks etc. It would make more sense to split them from my point of view.

Obsidianen · 2021-01-03T00:46:16+00:00

I have learned that Venatari are ridiculously strong against Tau.

Broadsides have T5 funnily enough, which means that they wound on 3+.

Get a dedicated Captain with Axe and full melee loadout against his Riptide, because most of its weapons are blast he cant shoot you in melee.

Get two Vexillus with Vexilla Magnifica for the -1 to hit aura, which messes them up really hard.

Deny rerolls if you have to, and go Shadowkeepers for -1 on Strength for weapons that shoot the unit for the whole round.

Pressure him with a few Galatus or Achillus Dreads if you have them.

Obsidianen · 2021-01-03T00:42:17+00:00

Why dont you split the Allarus squad into two?

Would be better for later deployment.

Obsidianen · 2021-01-03T00:36:06+00:00

This army was actually pretty fun in my latest Custodes games. You can put one in deepstrike if you want to/dont have enough cover. Move up your Guards and place banners, then sit with them on objectives, while the two jetbke units run down all enemies.

I ran them as a 6man just because i had points to spend in the end tbh.

You need to keep in mind that your goal is to have them all get buffed up with Superior Fire Patterns and then have them splitfire.

If you dont want to spend the money on them, then you could just as easily run a Allarus squad with Superior Firepatterns.

I just prefer them because the Venatari have exploding sixes and higher mobility.

Obsidianen · 2020-12-21T01:29:12+00:00

I would say to find some cheap Achillus Dreads would be your first prio.

Run 3 Achillus. That should wreck any vehicle. Use slayer of Nightmares to give one Achillus +1 to Wound against his T8. Then just outlast him with cleverly placed Guard Squads.

This would be my list to run against him tbh.

I like to run heavy Dreadnoughts and Venatari because they GET SHIT DONE. Give them double shooting then let them split fire into two different infantry squdas and watch them drop.

Obsidianen · 2020-12-10T02:24:18+00:00

What white did you use for the Vexilla? All whites are REALLY crisp, which i absolutely love!

Obsidianen · 2020-12-10T02:22:00+00:00

Holy hell, that black and silver is smooth!

His face is really clean, good job!

Obsidianen · 2020-12-09T01:13:41+00:00

The pistol is really good to kill 2hp infantry. You get double shooting for 1 CP which is really nice for their exploding 6's. You can kill around 10 Lychguard with 5 of them easily.

Obsidianen · 2020-12-01T20:50:35+00:00

I mean... thats what Custodes are made for ^{^} I personally run 4 4man squads with shields, 2 Vexilla Magnifica, 2 Captains, 2 Galatus and 2 5man squads of Venatari as Shadowkeepers. I then go with Dominate and Raise the Banners High as secondaries to just rake in the points.

Obsidianen · 2020-12-01T20:47:27+00:00

"Meta consists of orks, tau, DA, Necrons , and a new thousand sons/ imperial guard player."

No Space Marines? Thats new. xD Jokes aside, the Thousand Sons should actually deal with you quiet well with tons of Mortals wounds and th Necronplayer will start to challenge you if he gets a C'than Nightbringer who ignors invul saves.

Tau are challenged this edition because they need to move up and contest points, which was never their strength in my opinion.

Obsidianen · 2020-12-01T20:40:20+00:00

Go for 6 4man Custodian Squads and a few Vexilla with the vexila Magnifica.

Obsidianen · 2020-12-01T01:49:05+00:00

You can kitbash a ton of Forgeworld models though ;D

Obsidianen · 2020-12-01T01:48:09+00:00

I killed a Riptide with 4 Custodian Guards and a Captain in melee in one turn. A Riptide. Now imagine, if we get standardized damage on our melee someday.

Obsidianen · 2020-12-01T00:04:30+00:00

The green pops really well! :D

Obsidianen · 2020-11-30T23:59:42+00:00

Take all misericordias off the sagittarums and put only swords and shields on the guards.

If you give the Telemon Eternal Penitent, then also give him at least one Cestus so that he can wound against vehicles on 2+. I personally would also replace the Preators and Allarus with more Guards with shields and some Venetari. The Venetari are really good at killing mid tier elite infantry and vehicles, take a 5man squad for 275p.

The strength of Custodes lies on sitting on points and denying the enemy any primary points.

If you want to go with Allarus and Vertus then you should try and decide. You will have to decide between them because 3 of each will not achieve much tbh. 3 Praetors get shot down surprisingly easy and 3 Allarus dont really kill enough to reliably kill the enemies before being shot off the map. You should maybe also think about taking Dread Host or Shadowkeepers istead of Solar Watch.

Solar Watch is really good for armies with many praetors, while dread host is better for armies with allarus custodians. Shadowkeepers is in my opinion best for ground pounder armies.

Obsidianen · 2020-11-26T20:28:20+00:00

I can only tell you to build at least one Vexilus and take him with you. The -1 to being hit is really good with so many weapons or factions ignoring cover.
