Fw updates dropped

[Hellex_The_Thanatar]

Almost nothing unexpected. Lots of misses though like TELEMON leadership.

No auric on any weapons forgeworld.

 

Basically as half-assed as GW could be. They were.

Or intended so that Custodes armies actually live by their Codex instead being 80% FW every game.

Forgetting to give the spears +1S is very funny. Oops ...

[Skywrath]

Usually I'm aboard on the hating GW bandwagon, but considering how well our codex is doing competitively before those changes, I'm willing to let these small mishaps slide. This is on top of the fact that no-one takes adrathic/pyrithic guard or the telemon in a tournament (as it's not CORE anymore).  

 

That being said Caladius with the machine spirit keyword look infinitely more appealing, and that's with their points drop on top!

I am struggling with machine sprit, what does that one do?

 

Nvm. Retribution of the machine spirit let's you fire as if full wounds.

Does a Telemon even need to be Core? I run a two fisted penitent Telemon and it's not going anywhere.

I'm wondering what your thoughts would be on a block of 6 Aquilon with Firepikes as a lynchpin/centre of an army?.

Use the Katah that allows counting as not moving after advancing. That's a 22-27in threat range for 6 D6 flamer shots. They can also punch stuff with their fists.

Hah, Machine spirit on caladius almost won me my last game with custodes, if only I rolled 5 for charge with Caladius I would've won that game (lost by 1 point). :D

 

So big thumbs up for machine spirit. Finally that strat is actually usable. :D

6 is one too many, makes you eat blast unnecessarily.

[Captain Idaho]

I find the blast thing less of a hindrance as the unit coherency limitations. But I'd go for 6 still, since there's not that many blast weapons which really scare Custodes anyway.

[Galthan Ironsturm]

6 Aquilons with Firepikes, Misericordia and Solerit Power Talon on Dread Host are more efficient...

 

Reroll charges,

36A, AP-3, W1 reroll wound, with talons,

+6A, AP-3, W1 with Misericordia,

6D6 shoot , AP-2 (9"), W1, auto hit.

 

Good job no?

[dice4thedicegod]

I don’t think blast becomes oppressive until 11+ models. Units of 6 are fine :)
