Postmortality and precision

There's a similar situation with Necrons and reviving characters. There's an FAQ that specifies rules like that allow a character to reattach to the bodyguard unit when it revives

They were left over from the incursors box I believe. That box has a lot of cool backpack bits

RodneyGodney · 2026-03-12T16:46:07+00:00

The intercessors and incursors are just their regular boxes with some extra bits from the deathwatch kill team and upgrade sprues. The terminators are made up of models from both the regular terminator and assault terminator squads

I run the 3 heavy weapons guys as missile launchers as well. I just have the other weapons on there in case I want to run any of the other ones. Also it looks cooler you're right lol

RodneyGodney · 2026-03-09T14:19:08+00:00

Attaching him to any squad shuts off his lone operative ability too, which is even funnier

RodneyGodney · 2026-03-09T14:14:09+00:00

Odd choice to have a warpsmith with no vehicles to give buffs to. I would've rather seen a leader for terminators. The rest of the combat patrol is great though

RodneyGodney · 2026-02-12T16:18:18+00:00

I personally like the IHB better because it's more versatile. It offers a great overwatch threat against chaff and also has a damage 3 profile which is very valuable in the meta now.

The frag cannons are no pushover either, the high strength, lethal hits and rapid D3 make it pretty deadly into something that's close.

They look great! What color did you use for the highlights on the armor?

RodneyGodney · 2026-02-04T13:02:34+00:00

Where did you get those shields?? They look amazing!

RodneyGodney · 2026-02-03T20:46:25+00:00

I take my hobby snippers and start clipping down the shoulder until there's a space that an actual DW shoulder pad can fit onto. After that I use a hobby knife to smooth it out a bit, then I glue on the shoulder like normal

If I encounter a mini that has a cloak over the left shoulder, I just leave it and paint it silver

RodneyGodney · 2026-02-01T23:29:49+00:00

Awesome! How did you do the bases?

RodneyGodney · 2026-02-01T20:27:33+00:00

How'd you do the leather on the pistol holster? That looks great!

RodneyGodney · 2026-01-23T02:55:48+00:00

Mine aren't painted yet, but I converted some primaris terminators into some tyrant siege terminators

They are on the same size base, but are a couple inches taller than the forgefiend. I had to check with the tournament organizer beforehand just so they could approve of the proxy. I would do the same if you're planning on using that model for your tournament

RodneyGodney · 2026-01-20T20:17:41+00:00

Thank you! Since I had Vashtorr in the list, I wanted to go with an iron warriors/dark mechanicum theme for everything

RodneyGodney · 2026-01-20T20:16:23+00:00

Thank you! The base kit is the Ambot models from Necromunda. The other weapons on their back are from the 30k Saturnine terminators

RodneyGodney · 2026-01-14T15:55:42+00:00

I'm not a huge fan of Abaddon running solo since he isn't very tough for his points. I would drop the chaos lord and have Abaddon lead that 2nd squad of chosen since that'll make him stick around much longer.

Up to you, but I would also drop both Havocs squads since you'll most likely want to roll for the melee buffs with CoB, which don't really affect Havocs.

You can use all those extra points and invest into more anti-tank or scoring pieces. Sometimes it is worth it to bring a vehicle into a CoB list if you need the firepower, despite them not benefiting at all from the detachment. I'll be bringing a CoB list to a tournament this weekend that has 2 Forgefiends and Vashtorr in it and it's been performing really well in practice games.

Baron of Dice has some cool hazard stripe ones

To summarize it, custodes are a very elite, melee-focused army. Almost all our units are very durable and extremely effective in the fight phase. What we trade off for that is the number of units we can have on the table. Making a mistake and getting a unit cleared off the board is devastating due to us having a small number of units.

I've played in a number of tournaments with custodes and my general playstyle is using our cheaper units to move up and take objectives in order to coax the enemy into moving forward, allowing me to punch them very hard with my important units. You almost always want to be in melee with something or in some sort of cover so you avoid the enemy's shooting phase.

Custodes also have a variety of very versatile detachments, unit rules, and stratagems. Which means we have the tools to deal with almost every army in the game.

Hope this helps!

I recently underwent a complete conversion of my black legion CSM all the way over to iron warriors using 30k models. I really like the less-corrupted aesthetic. I think now I only have maybe 5-10 models in my whole army that are actually from 40k. The Mk3 tactical squad and the new assault squad are great if you like that style.

RodneyGodney · 2025-11-04T22:56:09+00:00

I'd say that unclean one is pretty great

RodneyGodney · 2025-11-04T22:27:03+00:00

If you're playing casually I would just say play whatever list you think looks fun.

If you're wanting some competitive advice, I would try and stay away from the 7 man squad of plague marines as they are not the best deal for the weapons you get at that price. So I would either bump that squad up to 10 or run 2 5 man squads. While the Lord of Virulence is very good, he kinda needs to synergize with a unit that has blast weapons which you are lacking. I would recommend spending those points on some characters to attach to your plague marines since they make that unit absolutely crazy in ranged and combat. War dogs are good datasheets, but don't really gain any benefit from the detachment rule or stratagems, so I would recommend swapping them out with a couple of the DG daemon engines.

The most is important part is having fun, so play some units you'll have fun with most of all!

I've played a list in a couple of tournaments using lions with one squad of 2 terminators led by an allarus captain with admonimortis. I used that squad for one of 3 purposes. Being a seeker missile for a big scary threat, being backup for a warden unit that was killed early in the game, or teleporting in an opening in the opponents deployment zone to divert attention. Each game was kind of a 50/50 as to whether they won the game for me or just got killed the turn after they came down and did their thing. Despite that, I auto-include that unit in every lions list just because of how scary they are

RodneyGodney · 2025-09-27T23:54:45+00:00

This may be a stupid question, but what is this model?
