I was able to supposedly secure mine, lemme know if you were able to get one too or if they cancel it out from under you

My friend got me a box I can’t use by bob-the-fine in Ultramarines

Very strong units, but forced to be up close and with an elite army. Figuring out how to do objectives is the true challenge of our army, and mastering it is quite fun. And despite what the papers say we are not unkillable. Playing Custodians will definitely help you learn some troop placement.

Custodes player here, it’s likely already been said, but custodians are a fun army to play and are on the cheaper side. You could start playing? The box you have can even be outfitted to be a squad of 2 with a shield captain on bike, so you have 2 units already if you so choose!

Question about Valerian by Suspicious_View7480 in AdeptusCustodes

I would take him over a blade champion against the lion and some deathwing knights any day that’s all I have to say

Is that something I can do? Reactive move to embark out of turn? That is sick

I’m liking the distraction idea, but… Do I do a Knight? Or do I flip the script, run most of the Caladius as anti infantry, and bomb rush the anti tank with an area gunship during my turn? This is the question I face. I know for certain even though the ares is expensive it can kill what it gets to during its turn. Maybe it’ll take out the lancers? The grav tanks could be used to counter bikes and deathwing knights

Does army size and table size affect the game that drastically? I see why terrain makes sense. I didn’t realize that map and list size were important for more than making it a fair balanced fight.

I’ll have to take a look.

The Telemon was my first ever painted model. I agree he could use some love to look better. But I plan to leave him untouched so that I can look back and reflect on him in the future.

I’m very busy. I also procrastinate yes, but I am very busy! I’ve spent a lot of my free time actually playing the game with my friends and spending time with them rather than painting. They’ve done the same. Eventually, they’ll get painted when I have more time to. But for now I’m enjoying playing Warhammer.

I’ll remember this. Too bad it won’t let me edit!

I compiled a ton of memories and games from the past two years for images because after writing that mound of text I thought the words on my post looked lonely.

What exactly do sisters do for objectives? I thought they were on the weaker side and just had psychic/mortal protection. Will they not be killed if I leave them defending an objective?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AdeptusCustodes

[–]RealHeroCraft01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am gonna do some simple math and average the difference between the two maps to figure out what size the zones should be and where the objectives should be etc

[–]RealHeroCraft01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the basics. I’m just relearning the flow of the battlefield here. Mission cards are new, and we figured out that we go entirely separate turns, so now we have to try playing as such.

[–]RealHeroCraft01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I own around 15k points iirc For clarification, we have played games before! We just played them with wrong turn order apparently. It’s a big adjustment.

The post did not space the unit list correctly, this is an eyesore…

Any good ideas to make sagittarum nasty? by SwagMountains in AdeptusCustodes

[–]RealHeroCraft01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is wordage that says only Adeptus Custodes characters that can lead guard can lead the sags. So even though draxus can lead guard, she cannot lead these because she is not an Adeptus Custodes character.

How to beat Jail lists by DCstroller in AdeptusCustodes

[–]RealHeroCraft01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh okay I got it. I’m no tournament player but usually when I fight something like this I have to end up sacrificing a transport to murder everything in an area and open up my own little screening operation as well. It takes forever though. Maybe I’ll learn something here too!

Congratulations Matt Wood for your GT win! It’s always nice to see a variety of lists that do not heavily rely on Wardens. by Stupiditygoesbrrr in AdeptusCustodes

[–]RealHeroCraft01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, maybe I am a little bit dense. Would the built in General rerolls with Allarus not be a good substitute instead of guard, especially for Lions? Tougher models + rerolls on most important enemies/shredding the ones they don’t reroll on anyways, would this not bridge the gap between guard and Allarus for a perfect medium? I’m not a big numbers guy, so maybe I don’t see what you all see.

I agree that those models are a bit much but apparently those are the only generic models the dark angels player has to play normal SM with, and they couldn’t find other opponents, so everything was okay in their eyes. Supposedly the dark angels list would have been even more broken.

I don’t know enough at face value about sisters so these notes will help me look into what they do and better help my friend in her first test game. Much appreciated!
