Spoiler I'm painting the tabard and top sarcophagus cover separately so they're not glued on yet.

The Unseen Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Not directly BA, but will be used for lots of BA shoulder pads and bitz. Decided to jump into getting a 3d printer plus a setup to vent the fumes outside. Living in an apartment with an asthmatic fiancee and a cat meant that the protective set-up cost a fair bit more than the printer, and I bought a Saturn 3 Ultra. One of my first projects is going to be finding good stl's for firstborn style Inceptors, and maybe that'll get me back into playing 10th. Workbench, wash and cure station, grow tent, In-line fan and hosing, window adapter, filter, plus all the PPE and disposal containers.

Paladin777 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Played my first game with SoS last night. We didnt get to finish, by by the end of the top of turn 3 (he went first) he only managed to take out 3 eradicators (who dropped a trygon, so fair trade), 5 VVets (who were part of the squad that dropped a norn emissary. I still had 5 vets, a priest, and a captain left in the squad for rampaging around), and a couple heavy ints. In addition to that, i also took out a screamer-killer with a Land Raider, and 2 broods of 20 hormagaunts (one with the crusader and heavy ints, and the other with BGV), a biovore with my inceptors, and a half brood of genestealers. In other words, SoS can really do the business, and brings some bite back to an army that actually feels like Blood Angels again!

Rhavien Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) Had me first game of 2024 last evening and got my handed to me by Custodes. He got first turn and I was pinned to my deployment zone till he arrived there in turn two and killed everything he touched. It didn't help, that I rolled from terrible to average at best. Once again I was convinced that jump DC with inferno pistols are not my thing. Would I have had chosen plasma it could have been a game changer. It didn't help that my DC plus Lemartes bomb had to deal with the only model in the game (afaik) that can negate the - 1 dmg rule from old lemmy. That is Trajan Valor is by the way...

DemonGSides Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Yeah Custodes are the best Melee army by a stretch, so trying to play our game plan into their gameplan is going to be REALLY tough.

I would be interested to learn if/why Custodes find us tough. Off the top of my head, +1A and +2S on the charge is pretty decent. It means our dedicated melee units are usually wounding on a 3+ in the first round of combat. Use a Sanguinary Priest for the extra point of AP and units like VanVets can force through decent amounts of damage, even against their toughest units. Mobility also helps us play the Objective game. Lots of Jump Pack units, maybe a few Infiltrators or a Libyy Dread to yeet units around the board and Custodes will struggle to hold Objectives. Lastly Custodes struggle with Vehicles. A couple of Redemptor Dreadnoughts will tend to spoil their day as most of their weapons are limited to 2D.

Rhavien Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I try to recreate the list from my memories: -2x Land Raiders filled with a blade champion and 6 Custodes or Wardens each. -2x 2 Allarus Terminators -Valoris + 6 Custodes -callidus -silent sisters with swords -another 6 custodes Basically he parked a land raider on each flank objective. Squad of terminators came along too. Valoris came down the middle. Other Custodes squad took cover in some ruins. Due to LoS and average to bad rolls I only managed to get one Raider down to 1 wound. Killed some guys too, but nothing exiting. In his 2nd turn the blade champions and pals disembarked. He used their once per game rule to advance and charge and suddenly I had Custodes all over my place. He also managed some other long charges plus his Raiders and small arms fire did some work and my army was basically done.
