dread05 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hello, I'm into 40k for the last year, what I enjoy is mainly building miniatures. I've yet to play any games. I started with blood angels and got my self some squads here an there, but after the primaris "incident" I felt like I didnt want to continue with marines. I want to start a new army, and with custodes getting brand new models, it'd like to try them (I also really like golden minis :P). What would be the ideal place to start with custodes? What should be my first box as an introduction to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyD4rkPassenger Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I suggest the standard box of custodians. In the new codex the troops start in units of 3, and therefore you can turn the two other models into a Shield Captain and a Vexilla bearer for a patrol detachment with added 1 elite choice.

Grotsmasha Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Perhaps looking for some of the Burning of Prospero models on eBay would be a good start. It's the basic Custodes Troop unit that you'd want a couple of anyway, but will save you a few $$$ over buying in a sealed box.

noigrim Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I would go with a box of basic custodians and one of bikes and see how you like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Agreed with above, with the brief leaks and reviews ive seen Bikes are going to be very popular and good. I was lucky enough to get custodes off ebay from BOP at half prices so try there. But i don't think there are any bundels or getting started boxes or anything.

Dulahan Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Another option would be the Talons of the Emperor set if somewhere near you has it. Yes, it comes with Sisters as well. But worst case scenario if you don't like the Custodes, you'll have a Land Raider, Contemptor, and a Rhino that could be used with Marines. Plus the Sisters.

dread05 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 I dont want bikes for starts. Just some basic minis. With marines it was easy, I got a tactical squad. With custodes, I guess the guards? How old are the guard minis compared to the new ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klisof Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The guards are great sculpts, they first appeared in the Burning of Prospero box at the end of 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noigrim Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 you can also throw any any land raiders that you have with a slight repaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
