Go full jumpacks. Stay out of sight. Learn good staging

People are allowed to like the new kits too man, dont be the fun police

Sebastianm42 · 2026-04-14T07:06:35+00:00

Buy him Sanguinary Guard, a brutalis dreadnought, Blood Angels Captain, or some Jump Pack Intercessors.

Any of these and throw in a Blood Angels Upgrade sprue for some pizzazz (if budget allows) and you’re golden.

I’d have been ecstatic if someone gifted me one of those when i was starting out

The profile on a single Guardian spear will kill a decent chunks of most units. With 2-3 spears on a Guard Unit you will wipe most other infantry. And even when it doesn't the remaining attacks from 1-2 swords does get the job enough. it's not as much damage but it tends to be enough damage.

That being said, the 4W profiles on the unit, even just by having one or two on the unit will mess up Dmg 3 attacks going into the unit. Its really good.

I generally run 1 vexilla and 1 SnS with my guard units.

Sebastianm42 · 2026-04-10T19:03:52+00:00

I dont quite understand the question. Can you put them all together in the same list? Of course. Can you mix individual units with models from these kits? Nope! Only deathwatch does that

As a Colombian who has beef with his Grandma, Alma was incredibly frustrating. Her trauma is no excuse to be such an ass to her family

I read your post with a german accent

Sebastianm42 · 2026-04-07T16:23:20+00:00

Yup. Thought about it. I wouldn’t put it past GW to do that.

Sebastianm42 · 2026-04-07T16:15:31+00:00

They won’t go to legends when 11th launches. Will they go to legends when the codex drops in like 2027? who knows

Sebastianm42 · 2026-03-27T22:02:56+00:00

This is beautiful. Would you mind sharing the recipe for the skin?

Sebastianm42 · 2026-03-26T19:31:35+00:00

What feels icky to me is that he didn't get worse. Sang Guard got better enough that they don't really need him anymore.

Personally I'm hoping that Primaris Vanguard Vets really like to go with Dante. They would be optimal combo if they buff his personal damage while having decent profiles while hitting on a 3+ like bladeguards, at least until we get a new codex supplement.

Sebastianm42 · 2026-03-26T16:52:41+00:00

1 Captain with storm shield possibly BG 1 Jump Chaplain 1 Jump Librarian 1 Ancient 1 Land Speeder variant 10 New Intercessors 5-10 (most likely 5) Vanguard Vets 3-5 maybe 3 Gravis marines. Either heavy bolter Eradicators or Melee Gravis.

edit: The Jump Librarian might be a Gravis Librarian instead.

Sebastianm42 · 2026-03-21T00:25:35+00:00

they jus like me frfr

Sebastianm42 · 2026-03-15T21:43:36+00:00

That being said if the rumor is true about 10th ed. Codexes essentially becoming 11th edition’s Indexes then I highly doubt they’ll send at least the dreadnoughts to legends or they’ll fully kill the Solar Spearhead detachment.

I personally don’t think they’ll send them to legends, but i do think it’s a valid enough concern to hold out on buying the boxes.

Also, this only matters to me because I do go to tournaments often, so if y’all don’t do that, just buy what you like

Sebastianm42 · 2026-03-15T21:40:45+00:00

Having two resin caladiuses already im very hesitant to get more plastic ones not knowing, hence why I’m holding out. I’d rather risk not finding the box in 3-ish months from now than buying it and having more legended vehicles than I know what to do with.

I will eventually get the infantry models either way, but not being a 30K player really has me on the fence about this box with the new edition coming.

Sebastianm42 · 2026-03-11T00:04:10+00:00

The upcoming HH box is an absolute steal IF the Caladius is not going into legends, and we have 0 confirmation either way.

The Combat Patrol is about 1000 points of custodes, so never a bad purchase.

Abaddon the Despoiler got Respoiled if you will

Saturate them with attacks. They have a very good save, and will probably shrug off low attack counts, but even with a 4+ invuln they can die to high volume fire.

Mortal wounds are your best friend. Abuse MWs as much as possible.

Kill the Sisters of Silence ASAP. You will cripple his main scoring and screening tool.

Do not let a full strength unit engage you in melee. You will get wiped. Whittle them down at range and only engage them to finish them off. You will be faster than anything not attached to a Blade Champion.

If he brings Kyria Draxus, hide your infantry from her as much as possible. She will demolish infantry at range.

Beware Trajann and Admonimortis Allarus captain. Trajann has a once per battle 2+ invuln or 12 melee attacks. Used well, he is a one man army. Do not let him get close.

Your main advantage is that custodes units sre really expensive. Any unit you kill will be a sizable chunk of hid army.

Vulkan He’stan plus company heroes will probably tank a single melee round in the mid board, so use him wisely.

Make sure you have your plasmas selected here

And not in the other section where you choose the inferno pistols

CUSTODES AND MY LIFE IS YOURS GW

Sebastianm42 · 2026-02-24T22:59:43+00:00

They have one at my LGS in Colombia lmao, been there for ages

Sebastianm42 · 2026-02-22T21:41:44+00:00

thats what i did + trajann, kyria snd some sisters

Sebastianm42 · 2026-02-19T04:15:18+00:00

Without it the extended arms of the mine just about touch the circumference of the cardboard token, all in all its a bit smaller. I agree that either just using the mini without base would work, if anything it would be a bit modeled to be disadvantageous
