General Strike Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 So, I'm searching for a smallish project to occupy me until the fall, and want to build up 1500-2000 points of Custodes TDA. I have a few lists that average around 80 wounds worth of TDA custodes. I do have a few questions from my tactically minded custodes brothers, one such being how do I mitigate the slow movement for them. How are Aquillion and how should I equip them. They give much needed S10 in the army, and a single big squad could fell a Knight in a single round if lucky.

shanewatts Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Bolter/fist Aquilon are excellent for their points and end up cheaper than Allarus with axes. Ironically enough Custode termies are just as fast as the rest of their infantry.

Kenzaburo Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Terminator Dreadnought Armor. Is the real name of terminator armor. Wasn't it Tactical Dreadnought Armor?

General Strike Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 The Aquilon are great, I just wish the lastrum bolters were D2 like guardian spears. Idk how useful a heavy bolter is vs a D2 bolt rifle anyway.

Danarc Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yes, I wrote terminator because I am an idiot it was a misprint. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355838-goldenwing-custodes-tda-the-best-tda/#findComment-5310654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 I hate resin anyway, so mine will just be converted Allarus with Terminator fists and Stormbolters.

Danarc Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I am curious about how do you think to build the list. Allarus SC, allarus vexilla, 5 allarus + 5 aquilon... is more than half list?

shanewatts Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Keep in mind that the Aquilon have twice the number of shots as well beyond 12", so the 2 damage ends up as a wash in this regard. The increased strength also allows you to deal more wounds vs T4/5/8.

Ezr91aeL Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Instead of Aquilon with power talons I would go for classic Allarus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355838-goldenwing-custodes-tda-the-best-tda/#findComment-5314551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danarc Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Aquilons are better (much better according to mathhammer) than allarus. To use the stratagems you have the PI in allarus. Moreover, they are cheaper than allarus.
