mertbl Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Playing around with list building and found I can fit a patrol of custodes(5+1 captain) if I drop my bullgryn and their support characters. Anyone ever done this, thoughts, etc. Looking at a competitive angle. Doesnt change my CP, still get my brigade and battalion(+Custodes patrol). The custodes seem like they'll be more able to stand on their own. Dont need strats, powers, extra characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HallofStovokor Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 That's actually a common ally for the guard. There's a dude I've played a few times at my local store that does a vanguard of custodies and a brigade of Guardsmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Custodes are very strong and durable Depends what youre chasing but its not a bad decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 If youre gonna do that I'd just take an auxiliary of 3 Allarus Terminators From what I read you don't seem to lose any of their benefits and theyre tough cookies who pack a punch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK0SIAN Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 If you do go down the terminator route (and who doesn’t love Terminators?) then you might also consider Aquilon Terminators. They’re more expensive than Allarus but with adrathic destructors they’re a straight upgrade over the Allarus in terms of pure combat. However the Allarus have access to some amazing stratagems so if you’re willing to dump some CP into them they’re probably better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanewatts Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The problem with running an Aux of custodies, is you lose out on the +1 invuln save to infantry/bikes and obsec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find the stipulation that says it can't be an Auxiliary detachment like it says in most other codexes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability just says an Adeptus Custodes detachment. I can’t see any rule that says they wouldn’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
