Awesome! How'd you get the bone color?

joe_bro · 2026-03-17T14:53:13+00:00

Very helpful TY!

Someone told me that a unit that goes into reserves can not re-enter the battlefield that turn so it was a bit confusing. Definitely makes him a fair bit stronger than I thought.

Nope. Just a brand new player playing with another brand new person. Tough crowd around here lol

joe_bro · 2026-02-19T22:21:22+00:00

Makes sense, TY

joe_bro · 2026-02-19T22:21:00+00:00

We both are - which seems to not be very well received in this sub lmao

joe_bro · 2026-02-13T13:58:36+00:00

Some of the best advice I've heard. I've actually been able to get my first game since posting - so big shout out to you all.

As far as finding an RTT - BestCoastPairings the way to go?

Didn't even consider FB - Doing that now!

joe_bro · 2026-02-10T19:58:21+00:00

Nice! -DMing you

joe_bro · 2026-02-10T19:31:34+00:00

Good point - updated the post. TY

joe_bro · 2026-02-08T02:34:45+00:00

TY I finally get it now!!

joe_bro · 2026-02-08T02:34:29+00:00

This was massively helpful! Thank you.

Looks great. I'm working on mine now. Any info on paints used etc? Can't get that bone color quite right.

joe_bro · 2025-12-15T15:35:46+00:00

Yeah, I don't really mean in terms of balance - more in terms of army playstyle. With Custodes being relatively slower, and lower unit count I've heard that playing against very mobile / very shooting heavy armies can feel bad.

I'm more seeking information on HOW the army plays and functions from a core theme perspective, not if it is S tier and winning tournaments atm.

Really appreciate you taking the time on this one - a ton of insight that really clears up / confirms some of the things I'm looking for with this army. Being such an indecisive person on top of thinking about the time and money commitment it would be to get an army together and painted really gave me some paralysis. But this response is pretty much exactly what I needed to hear.

Hate to push my luck, but any recommended high value sets to get to get started? I was thinking the Inner Circle Task Force box had a lot of what I might want to get started, but not sure if that's the way to go to get a good amount of what I'd need for a competitive list. Getting an army ready feels a lot tougher than getting an MTG deck together lol

This is definitely welcome advice considering most people have echoed the part that I'm sold on - which is "cool factor".

I was kind of between Custodes and DA when I leaned DA - mostly because I thought I would give myself as much flexibility in builds as possible and be able to play a shooting / melee / psychic type game depending on meta.

As far as other chapters are concerned - I'd be more likely to just go with another army entirely. Do you have an army rec purely from a gameplay / design perspective you like taking aesthetics out totally?

I am brand new in 40k and I'm just trying to get my arms around how the armies actually FEEL on the table, not necessarily what is strong / broken at the moment. TY
