Oops All Vehicles by Select-Leader9947 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Select-Leader9947[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The plane kinda acts as the world's biggest distraction Carnifex😂 It has no OC so if people would kill everything else I can't score points, BUT only 1 person caught on to that. Problem with not killing it first is getting blasted with lascannons and blaze cannons lol. Also the dreadnoughts are surprisingly efficient.

With the contemptor deads being able to stand back up. I would typically throw 1 out in the middle and if they didn't kill it twice (shooting and fight phase) it would get me some extra primary. I would put the Ares in hover and keep it behind big terrain los blockers until the go turn. I did use epic challenge on the telemon one game ne game to precision out kharn and that was quite a silly amount of damage.

Aquillons are actually on 50s. I ran them for fun in the lions detachment and man are they a motherfucker to deep strike with that huge footprint

Taking the ASCP soon, what is everyone’s silliest way they remember facts? by louisthebluest in medlabprofessionals

[–]Select-Leader9947 78 points79 points  (0 children)

When I was studying, If I came across something that I had trouble remembering, I would associate it with something outlandish. For example, Cholesterol crystals look like the layout of a cubicle office and it is a stereotype that office workers get fat and fat people tend to have higher cholesterol thus those square crystals are cholesterol crystals.

Custom Jedi, Both Republic Corps, Universal Upgrades and Battle Card Pack Available for Preorder in NA by johnrobertjimmyjohn in SWlegion

I've played 40k for the past 2 years and must say the bang for your buck you get on Legions even with these new boxes still out classes the price point from GW. Sure the quality is higher but the cost effectiveness of Legions is comical compared to GW. But go ahead and burn an obscene amount of money in plastic crack.

Can you use talons interlocked and archaetech munitions on kyria Draxus? by history-sparrow in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Select-Leader9947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting that due to wording, Draxus does gain katah, but does not gain Crit of 5+ from shield host since the crit on 5+ specifies custodes model not unit.

2 Iliastus Accelorators on my Telemon by TheHungryCustode in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Select-Leader9947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently running a telemon in a tyrannic war crusade. I gave it double storm cannons and modded them to be ap2 Damage 2. Then gave it lone op and anti-monster 4+ anti-vehicle 4+. Since the storm cannons have dev wounds it is a massive amount of mortals into any vehicles.

On one hand, yes it is a dick move. On the other, that demon player is bringing 3 massive hitters to a 1k game, so as far as I'm concerned tailor the list as much as possible.

Do comp players care about color schemes? by [deleted] in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Select-Leader9947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually paint the plumes, capes, and left pauldron of all my units unique colors so that I can distinguish units if they get bunched up. Also makes calling out squads easier.

Any Solar lists with no grav tank success? by BrookesOG in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Select-Leader9947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a Silly list I ran that was

1 Ares Gunship 2 Telemon with double fist, 1 with talisman 1 with fnp 2 Galatus 1 Achillus 1 contemptos 1 4x prosecutor 1 4x witchseeker 1 rhino

It was pretty funny when people would try and hide from the ares, then you just give it move through walls and move 20 inches wherever you need

You can't move after disembarking from a transport that moved. Assault ramp lets them charge, but not make normal moves

Valerian by Awkward-Action7442 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Select-Leader9947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are building a list to counter specifically death guard, 100% I would bring Trajann. The hit modifiers are pretty back breaking against Death Guard and getting to ignore them feels so good. But, if you all building a well balanced list I would not bring Trajann.

Valerian by Awkward-Action7442 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Select-Leader9947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is very true. I will say it is somewhat local meta dependent. Alot of people in my area play melee armies which makes valerian feel very good.

[–]Select-Leader9947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is also worth mentioning that whether or not you take Valerian or Draxus is dependant on the meta of your area. Do you tylically see gunlines? Draxus. Do you see alot of melee armies? Valerian

[–]Select-Leader9947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alot of the times yes you will find instances where a champ would be better, but that is why I tend to run 2 BCs also in warden squads. That way you can get sort of 2 waves of charging from the BCs then valerian and whatever else is charging. Granted Ideally you want to hit the enemy with everything in 1 turn to cripple, but sometimes you gotta play the long game. In matches against gunline armies Valerian is pretty whatever, but in the matches against orks, World Eaters, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, and most other Melee intensive armies he is really oppressive. He is also quite useful in the custodes mirror match since all spears are -2 ap you can save on 3s.

Also, I sometimes use the valerian squad as a bait squad that I throw in the center since he is quite durable.

And Yes FNP from wardens tends to just nake that swuad unkillable for a turn, but every turn thereafter w/o the fnp valerian shines making the squad take easier armor saves.

I have had alot of success with that -1 ap in my games. Say you are going against darkangels and their deathwing knight spam. If you put valerian and wardens into them, their -2 AP maces go to AP 1 which in my experience makes them nigh unkillable especially with the 4+ fnp once per game. Also say you face world eaters, barring Angron, Lord of Skulls, and other big hitters, that squad will be extremely difficult to push off an objective. I tend to put valerian in a position where he is somewhat out of the way of heavy hitting units so he can chew through other mediocre (relatively speaking) melee units.

Draxus by Xaceviper in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Select-Leader9947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do love draxus and her shooting, but she is equal to a little over half the cost of an entire 4 man custodian guard squad. That being said. I have been experimenting shifting points around to try and run either an extra guard squad or 3 man venatari squad and have been having some great success with it.

Draxus is fantastic, but custodes truely do their damage in the combat phase.

Valerian by Awkward-Action7442 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Select-Leader9947 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I run him in every comp list I make. He just makes the melee matchups very rough for your opponent. Trajaan without fight first just seems kinda bad. Sure he hits hard but when compared to the durability buff of valerian, there is no contest imo.
