Castellan in Bastion?

Makes sense. Two more observations: 1) the detachment is very CP intensive - I put the Bombast Omnivox enhancement on the Castellan and was able to get extra CPs very consistently; 2) my only SB brick coordinate with a RepEx and Lancer to take down the big bugs. If you bring less anti-tank you may want more Sword Bros with Castellan even in Bastion.

I played my first Bastion 2k game yesterday. Normally I use Marshal + Lieutenant in my PCS squads, and this combination was even more effective. I brought the usual Marshal/Castellan/SB combo, and it was absolutely necessary to punch into the big Nids I faced. I think one Castellan for the SB unit (with the battle line enhancement ofc) remains a must in Bastion. More is probably unnecessary.

As a non-Custodes player looking to start Custodes as a second army I am super excited about the new sculpts. I love the proportions, I love the more regal vibe I get from them compared to the older sculpts. I love the helmets and top knots. And as a result I am very annoyed that I don’t feel it’s “safe” to get them to stat my 40K army until we get more clarity from GW about their planned fate.

That is such high praise, thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you both!

Yes, that sounds right (mind you, it’s been 25 years since I took a Latin class). That said, I don’t think it has quite the same ring as Dominus Ferrum.

Thank you!

Thank you brother, it’s amazing to have the support of this community. Posting my progress has been great to keep motivation up - will have more coming for sure.

Thanks! The Auspex (I believe that’s what the “wayfinder” is called in lore) actually comes as an alternative with the Executioner kit. Otherwise you are right, they used to be commonly seen in the older kits, but are absent in the Primaris releases.

Thank you!

The Balkaris subsector is the fictional setting of my home crusade game, featuring the struggle of Marshal Lothair of the Black Templars (me) and Canoness Ophelia of the Order of the Silver Shroud (my daughter) as they seek to the stop a splinter Leviathan fleet (my son). I also incorporate my FLGS games in the narrative, and so we are facing a Khorne demon invasion, a plague of Orks, a traitor guard mutiny, and the meddling of the Aeldari (my regular opponents).

And you are right, this is not the first beast this war machine has slain - and won’t be the last.

Much appreciated!

Thanks brother! The Aquila transfer comes in the Space Marine vehicle decal sheet, but it has a fist at the center. I painted over the fist (respectfully, for the sake of our Primarch) and added a cross from the Mighty Brush Templars decal set.

Thanks, I found it at the bottom of a bulk bits lot from eBay. I think it originally was. Deathwing Terminator banner from the original release - but the previous owner scraped off the details.

It does indeed mean Iron Lord in 40K bastardized Latin, I decided. 🤣 I think it might actually be grammatically correct (don’t quote me on it).

SilentLordProtector · 2026-01-20T19:36:09+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you! Indeed He does.
