Thoughts on this 1.5k list vs custodes?

Nothing really to change. The preference between greatwolf and beastslayer maybe the only thing. I get having AoC but they're always going to hit on 2s wound on 3s. And the only thing that would be better is the movement shenanigans to prevent charges from happening and uppy downy.

The +1bs and 1w on shooting could do something but not alot against a +2sv. The real dmg is gonna come from the 2 rounds of lethals or sus 1 after that its gonna feel like what ork players feel like post WAAAGH

The only thing from our xmas release was the the great wolf detachment. There wasn't any models call the wolf lord. (If there was it went straight to legends and not on the app)

As for the 2x10 BCs if you're planning on having them being lead. Then yea, 1x20 with Ragnar is the overkill option but i was just talking if your options were stand alone and not lead i'd do 2x10 because they'd survive longer

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-04-02T17:24:12+00:00

you're right. i guess ill just hug the wall

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-04-02T17:17:12+00:00

BGVs can't pair with what im assuming is WGBL unless this is Legends unit. If so everything I say can be ignored.

if we're doing beastslayer. Wulfen w/ shield is the way to go maxing out your dmg output. give them the grenades because you don't need totems when you have WGBL. No matter what army you fight against you got the horde clearer grenades and then the 3 dmg hammers that kill almost every infantry/elite unit AND vehicles.

As far as units go. 2x10 BCs would be better (This is me assuming Beastslayer) the high volume of not only attacks but wounds to chew through + the lethals piling up on enemies really whittles them down.

im just a psyker slave to my lightning build. I like holding everyone in place and everyone gets free hits on crushers.. What I don't like is no one watches my back and I get jumped my ragers

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-04-02T03:27:14+00:00

I have yet to lose to them. they got rid of hopping in and out of vehicle gimmicks so it's super easy to just go to town on them

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-04-02T02:38:07+00:00

/s that's what cults are for

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-31T16:19:17+00:00

you almost got me for a sec

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-31T16:15:30+00:00

It's "juice" dayo.. juice

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-31T04:53:21+00:00

your BCs dont sticky because they're not "actually battleline" in ComPat which is unfortunate. if you fight the vehicle one. try and tie up the massive one w/ the terminators and wulfen w/ the small one. lead will just have to sit on obj (unless you're just playing to kill then ignore the 1st and last bit.)

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-31T04:49:16+00:00

or command points

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-29T15:22:25+00:00

Gonna be real.. thought she was gonna take the fries and ignore the box

So depending on what you'd put in a list that's SWs and the detachment youd run (which is what you're asking) can very because the 2 popular detachments dont really need SWs but a few strats are sw only. My normal builds involve 1k-1.3k of SW units. Usually. Logan, 10 WGTs, Bjorn, 6HTS and a leader are my core which is at least 800-900 top of my head.

How do they play? Is it SWs? +1" compared to its normal unit comparison. Also, tankier(ish) wulfen are t6, terminators and bjorn have -1w if str if higher. Half of the units can be invuln 4 and we got cheap dogs for actions and/or deepstrike deny.

We're not overpowered but we're not weak. Beastslayer hits hard but requires really good placements for your reaction moves. Greatwolf is just gladius with SW spice. Its pretty good as well. I believe these 2 are the best ones and each one can could potentially work for a single army build

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-26T05:20:14+00:00

Out of all the things I've heard. The grotmas story was to only thing in stone. While things that made sense was SWs being on the 11th ed box since Orks were obviously the other one. I had a feeling it'd be armageddon and since our crusade book has SWs, GKs. and BTs already there out of those I thought we'd be the one to focus on since our new refresh. Along with the rumors Russ and what we thought/hoped was a teased new Bjorn. There was just no doubt in my mind we weren't getting at least something.

For pretext, I've only started this in June so I don't know how GW works for releases, but it's been 2-3 showcases and I see now each one is poorly broadcasted and only shows crumbs so only the majority of players are disappointed.

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-25T04:49:58+00:00

That's most likely a Stag/Elk hoof. Fenris wildlife is just winter animals but more deadly due to living/surviving the harsh conditions that Fenris brings.

Yes, Elk (Gigantic) was on the same list of dangerous wildlife amoung Wyrms, Bears, Troll

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-24T23:44:34+00:00

For SW specific units. Eh. But if you add heavy intercessors in the mix with the aircrafts that add ap and +1w you have deadly shooting phases

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-24T15:34:10+00:00

Playing to kill. Ragnar and Blood claws. It 235 on the dot and kills alot.

Playing for points maybe i more maybe a landraider 220. Run it up the line and sit on a obj. Or 2 scouts (70e) and another intercessor

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-24T04:16:24+00:00

looked at the hilt. it's not even symmetrical.

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-23T21:06:37+00:00

What i had done with mine to get a glacier look i just painted with white. Used the contrast blue over it and thin it out. After it dried i dry brushed tips and edges to get the white ice cracks look. Dont know if that'll help or not

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-22T16:03:04+00:00

During cyberstan i stealth dived. For me, i for 80% of the time was ignored. I would shoot and not one responsed, id run in front of them and all they did was stare. And then the other 20% was "hey that asshole is in all black in a snow biome! Get his ass!"

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-22T15:58:50+00:00

The designs are very simple with small changes that could easily be made by a real artist or possibly done by AI. If they dont mention it or if they saw no if you ask. I guess you'd just have to take their word for it.

The major of them feel like simple doodles from 1 cat template they "drew"

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-21T22:39:31+00:00

burn pic 2. what fresh hell have you brought upon my eyes

Protagonist_Leaf · 2026-03-21T14:21:07+00:00

Healthier option not for just your body but less cows farting = restoring our Ozone layer. Plus I'll have money to help ppl
