Skywrath Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I have three lists that I'd want your opinions on. As my Grey Knights are in limbo (thanks again GW for that), I figure it's time to test these badboys out, as my meta is mostly a marine one (who's isn't??), and custodes have a 60% odd winrate against marines. With this in mind, these lists are all designed to be competitive, but due to my inexperience with Custodes, it's always nice to have secondary opinions. So without further ado..

Wrath of Bruinen Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 A couple of random thoughts (on mobile it’s hard to give structured feedback!) For the terminator list: - I’d be tempted to drop the aquillon terminators for more allarus terminators. Consolidating all your terminators into one unit will give you more efficiency with stratagems - the telemon would also benefit from a gun/fist armament rather than two guns, I think For the bike list - as above, I’d group the two salvo launcher units together into one unit of six For the take-all-comers list, I don’t have any feedback which probably indicates it’s the best one. The one concern I would have is that it might be trying to dabble in too many things and as a result not have enough strength in any one area, but I don’t have enough experience with custodes to say that for sure. What secondaries do you plan on taking for it? I think that will be a good indicator of whether the list ticks enough boxes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368631-ac-2000-competitive-lists/#findComment-5661349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
