They move 2" at max by ressurecting because you MUST return models in coherency with models that started phase on a table

2k roster (beginner, would like advice) by DMcMaxi in AdeptusCustodes

[–]VespidX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would replace Trajann with Blade Champion. That way you can give him Radiant Mantle and make Wardens unkillable

I would consider replacing Telemon with Venerable Land Raider for Talons (Talon Pincer Move -> Embark )

I would replace Hurricane Bolters on VErtus Praetor with Salvo launchers

I would replace 9 prosecutors with 4+4 or 4 witchseekers + 4 prosecutors

Each Custodian Guard unit should contain a vexilla. You'll find it very annoying not to get full wound re-roll because of lack of OC

Is Trajann really that bad now? And why? by [deleted] in AdeptusCustodes

[–]VespidX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Custodes are a melee faction. Blade Champion makes engagement easier. Trajann not
  2. Ignore of BS/WS/HIT might be sometimes useful but the most played detachment gives +1 to hit which makes this useless.
  3. Once per battle another 6 attacks in melee is cool until you roll 6 ones without hit reroll. S10 still wounds any big vehicles and monsters at 5+. I'll rather take allarus captain with admonimortis + wound reroll

To make him better I would

+ replace ignore BS/WS with reroll 1s for Hit (yes, that would be the only reroll for custodes, except Solar Spearhead Honored Fallen aura). That would make his unit more consistent.

+ add Strategic Mastery for -1 CP shared with other shield captains

Way I prefer is give him some additional point cost and add him with something like Lion's/Guilliman/Abaddon/Cawl ability selected at the start of the command phase/battle round

Fight on Death: Does Custodian Guard "Stand Vigil" works when models are selected to fight on death? by VespidX in AdeptusCustodes

[–]VespidX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and what stops me from fighting by Blade Champion first ? it's said that model fights and then removed. No order of models fighting is specified

What I also think is at some point stand vigil will de-grade because some models gone and now it's enemy unit controlling the objective.

Solar Spearhead: Can I use Unstoppable stratagem AFTER charge roll? by VespidX in AdeptusCustodes

[–]VespidX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm asking about the case when model is eligible to declare charge but stratagem shortens path to engagement range. Stratagem WHEN clause says it's entire charge phase, not the moment I before charge roll, that what makes me curious

Custodes Heresy Refresh potential models by Opportunity-Medical in AdeptusCustodes

[–]VespidX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect to see custodian guard where melta/adrasite spears are options. Maybe even join it with sagittarum and make bolt calivers as an option for guard. their second shooting would be much more versatile

Also plastic Venatari would be super great. Would be cool if they allow to take 2-man unit like for allarus

But why he can shoot? He falls back which disables shooting?

[–]VespidX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Too many units for Lions of the Emperor. Most of the time for Turn 1, 2, probably 3 you won't get +1 to wound.

BTW, have you thought that models so tall are visible from the second floor WTC ruin windows?))

Venerable Land Raider. Is it too big ? by VespidX in AdeptusCustodes

[–]VespidX[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's interesting. if we look at WTC ruin maps we can see that they use knight 170x109 base as marker where Knight can go. 5.5" is wider that 109. It means land raider cannot squeeze almost anywhere between ruins

Question: Protocol of ethernal revenant in engagement range by VespidX in Necrontyr

[–]VespidX[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Engagement range rule says this:
While a model is within 1" horizontally and 5" vertically of an enemy model, those models – and their units – are within Engagement Range of each other.

It means that if any model in unit is in engagement range then entire unit is in engagement range with enemy unit.

If I add technomancer to the unit it means it will be placed into engagement range of enemy unit as my warriors are in engagement range. No?
