IronDreddKnight Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 So I’m debating adding some Adeptus Custodes to my army. But my knowledge on them is a bit sketchy. Can anyone shed some light on them for me, or perhaps give me some advice on what units would best benefit a death Watch list. I was thinking about a supreme command detachment of three jet bikes. Or do I commit to a custodes battalion? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353817-thinking-of-adding-custodes-to-my-deathwatch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valdr Fell-fist Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 In my opinion and (not a great deal of, admittedly) experience, a Supreme Command of Jetbike Captains is the best allies from the Custodes for us. We tend to be a points expensive army, and with even a three man custodian guard squad hovering around the 150 mark, I’d rather spend an extra ten and get the extra movement speed and character rule for a Shield-Captain. I’ve found good use out of keeping one in my deployment zone near an objective to act as a fairly strong counter punch against any units striking at that objective whilst keeping the speed to claim an objective in no mans land at the end of the game. The other two accompany my aggressive squads deep into the enemy deployment zone, usually supporting each other but quite capable of peeling off individually to tackle lone squads. Hope that helps?

Delta.Skies Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Ive attempted to fiddle with the idea. Two battalions will have you lacking in anti tank / knight. Best spot to go with is a battalion of one thing, then vanguard or supreme detachment of the other. (Supreme for custodes) ok bike spam or dreadnought spam. Could even do a spearhead with DW with leviathan. Costly but seems fun with watchmaster leviathan and hellblasters.

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I run a Vanguard detachment. I just can’t get into using Custodians.

Reviler Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I like a SCD with three jet bke captains and 4 custodian wardens as the elite choice. Gives you some quality CC infantry as well as the speed and hitting power of the captains on bikes. They really plug the holes in the DW list along with a mortis comtemptor dread with 2 twin LC for mobile AT.
