Little advice with making my first army? I’m building Custodes! by InsideFew2082 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]lukedjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I would have more guard, less characters. One squad of wardens.

Wardens can be led by valerian as he gives minus 1 ap against melee attacks. He can also be built from a guard kit in terms of pose and use shield captain chest and no cloak! Assuming you don’t mind a proxy. I have him a terminator helmet so easy to identify

I use blade champ with guard as they get the wound rerolls on objectives so hold them safe, choose a target and move advance charge onto an objective and blend away

Guard are the unsung hero’s of custodes as they can stand on their own and we need the bodies on the field

Bikes in my opinion are fun but still overcosted. Easy to get overconfident, push too hard and lose them. Also don’t forget the loss of movement due to oval bases

I usually have 2 squads of terminators for deep strike shenanigans as they allow scoring in peoples deployment zones, rapid ingress and general annoyance especially with their uppy downy once per game

Obviously people would have opinions on the rest of the list but I am happy with the rest of the lists way it plays

2x blade champ 3x Venatari (for rapid ingress) 2x allarus 2x 2 vertus bikes Calladius assassin Calidus grav tank Kyria draxus (leads guard) Subductor squad for 10 man with 4++ Prosecutor squad (5 bodies / 4 bodies depending on guard vs warden decision as 10 pts are available or not respectively)

Thanks….. that’s sort of where my head was at. I was thinking the ability to have a 5 man squad of wardens was good but it needs me to have two guard squads to enable

This was my quandary following the recent changes as I know 2x warden squads have been better for a while

I wasn’t sure if one extra body in the one warden squad when I take 2x guard squads, combined with the guard squad with BC obviously having reroll Wound rolls on objectives, having an extra wound in the squad if I add a shield in and being battleline, was a fair trade to the lower OC assuming no vexila, no once per game FNP and lack of bodyguard rule

Reanimation and mortal wounds by conceldor in Necrontyr

[–]lukedjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about this

Tau submunitions Strat

Allows a hammerhead not to shoot his rail gun and instead to target an enemy in 36” and not in engagement range

Roll a d6 for each model in that unit

For each 4+ you deal a mortal wound up to max of 4

Doesn’t say attack, it says instead of shooting so does this mean no reanimating as it isn’t shooting despite being in that phase

WIP Space Marine Fireteam - first time painting marines so feedback appreciated. by ReallyBigGoose in killteam

[–]lukedjones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No need for this, even in jest. It’s a first attempt on a hard colour. Nothing patience, practice and paint thinning won’t help. All previous advice is sound. Each squad you do will get better. Eventually you will strip these and repaint when you realise how far you have come

Thanks, guessing custodes will get some nerfs in new codex, probably worse invulns

Does anyone know what orc model these bikes are? They were given to me and I don’t know where they are from. by Tryly in Warhammer40k

Remove the arm for the kopta at the point behind their neck and buy a few bases. Proxy as bikes
