mechadryad Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) So we can all agree that the Custodes Dreadnoughts are some beautiful models, so I thought about building a list around them. I only really intend on using it during some of our custom campaigns and to smash against other ballcrusher armies (also to kurb-stomp an annoying UM player) HQ: Tribune Saitama Solarite Gauntlet Cyber Familiar Praesidum Shield Digi Lasers Teleportation Transponder (275) Troops: 3 Custodian Guards Teleportation Transponder(180) 3 Custodian Guards Teleportation Transponder(180) 3 Custodian Guards Teleportation Transponder(180) Elites: Achillus Dreadnought Dread-spear(240) Achillus Dreadnought Dreadspear(240) Achillus Dreadnought Dreadspear(240) Achillus Dreadnought Dreadspear(240) Heavy Support: Galatus Dreadnought (250) Telemon Dreadnought 2 Storm Cannons(360) Telemon Dreadnought 2 Storm Cannons(360) Total: 2745 I'm still 255 short and have no idea what to do with it, any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated Edited July 12, 2017 by mechadryad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336572-3k-custodes-dreadnought-list/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritual Liege Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I don't think this is gonna be curb-stomping anyone. The list is highly immobile and very light on firepower. The dreads have to walk that 6'+d6' a turn to get to melee, that's a rocky road. I'd drop a couple of dreads and get some Caladii or jetbikes, they are excellent. Also a bit moar feet on the ground wouldn't hurt. It would still look absolutely fabulous, go for it.

mechadryad Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yeah, my Sisters version of this list is much better but the transports aren't available yet. The Telemon seems like it actually fills the role of fire support very well and I think you're underestimating the survivability of the dreadnoughts with this much target saturation. I considered the Jetbikes with Destructors or a 4th Custodian squad. Do you think Valdor would be a better over the tribune and trying to get 5 squads of Custodians?

Spiritual Liege Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Yeah Valdor would be good. The dreads walk forward and endure turn 1 and then boom - turn 2 you shove 20 Custodians to straight to his face. Would probably work.

DeRome90 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Would be interesting how good Saitama was in your games... normally he only needs one punch ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336572-3k-custodes-dreadnought-list/#findComment-4930215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
