Ironwithout Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 So next project is Custodes and I was wondering what everyone thought would be a safe buy to make some kind of a start? Also when is the next book due out? I know it's this year but that's it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322419-safe-buy-for-custodes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nziv Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Not sure of anything that is safe. Land raider and rhinos maybe but that would be speculation Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322419-safe-buy-for-custodes/#findComment-4395198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakoBoy88 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 To be honest, given the feedback from their last play test at the weekender, nothing is a safe bet really.

Olis Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I would agree that nothing is truly a 'safe bet' yet. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322419-safe-buy-for-custodes/#findComment-4395320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Oooooooo what was this feedback? 5 of them MURDERED a 20 man Blob and took no damage in return. or something like that.

MakoBoy88 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Yeah exactly that, and they had no need for Rhinos or other Mars pattern STC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322419-safe-buy-for-custodes/#findComment-4395431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenaur Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Yeah I'm not going to touch Custodes until I've read the next book and FW release some models. Was there any chat about them from Warhammer Fest does anyone know?

Xenaur Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Haha I must say after having been away all weekend I am rather surprised there isn't a thread for the discussion of the findings of Warhammer Fest. I was expecting to have to sift through umpteen pages.

ronin_cse Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'd say the only safe bet would be forge world gift vouchers at this point ;)......maybe some gold paint too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322419-safe-buy-for-custodes/#findComment-4396713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandlemad Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Maybe a contemptor? It's likely FW will do a custodes-specific contemptor model but if you don't mind having multiple dreads with varying degrees of bling, the one in Collected Visions looks pretty standard.

Xenaur Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Do you not think we're likely to see the release of Custodes before that of book 8 since we've already got upgrade parts for wolves and TS?

Sandlemad Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Maybe? I don't think it's a sure thing, as the SW and TS parts can be used with the generic legion rules (with furious charge or stubborn or whatever) but the custodes are completely unrepresented in the rules. I think they did release part of the Solar Auxilia range before Conquest was out and simply said that rules will be in the forthcoming book so it's hardly impossible.

Terminus Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 A safe buy for Custodes right now would be some smart investments, perhaps in short-term bonds, so you have adequate funds to buy all the shiny when it comes out.

Sentinalsam87 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Am I the only that thinks Custodes as an entire army is stupid? They never fought as an army and other than the Seige of Terra didn't take major roles in any engagements. I think they should be more of army add-ons, like Garro and the other Knights Errant.

Terminus Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 They had a major engagement role on Prospero, but yes, I agree it's stupid, and I hope it's no more than a couple of units. They really should have the status that Grey Knight Terminators did in 2nd edition (in that they wouldn't waste psychic warriors on driving rhinos or lugging heavy weapons, and 100% of them were highly-trained Terminators that operated at a squad level in various warzones). I don't acknowledge the GK codex as a thing in my head-cannon.
