- Get a big squad of 10 custodian guard. - Park it on an objective - win
-
Great job and really helpful stuff. I'm literally in the process of building my first Custodes Army right now.
-
Nice overview, and a lovely painted army, love the shiny/metallic effect on the shoulder pads and stuff so props to whoever painted it
-
Great video tutorial as always!!
-
perfect timing lads, i've got my first custodes game of 10th tomorrow!
-
excellent video, thanks a lot. imho while going through stats for the individual units it would be extra helpful if you could post the data card on screen as you are reading it. I'm sure you have thought about it but it is on my wishlist for future videos. keep up the good work! :)
-
those shield captain and Guilliman kitbash models are awesome!
-
Are you going to do a video on how to play new codex custodes? People keep saying they need to play cagier, but, depending on terrain usually I find myself either cagily attacking the opponents and sacrificing too many turns or running to the points and dying to shooting immediately.
-
Lets go keep up the great work!
-
Right on time ;)
-
For Trajann fighting something he can't kill, something like a Knight charging in or a unit of 10 terminators with Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields. Something that he cannot survive in melee with his regular saves and cannot kill in combat. Edit I forgot, for the 10 Terminators with Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields, they can be joined by a Captain in Terminator Armor, this captain gives a free Stratagem such as "Only in Death dues duty end" which means even in death all those Terminators are hitting Trajan, that is if the Captain also has a Thunder Hammer, 35 Strength 8 AP-2 Damage 2 attacks.
-
Custodes vs world eaters would be stellar
-
Checked and Trajann’s 5+ FNP doesn’t work on his unit just him. If I understood that’s what you were saying earlier in the video.
-
This was a great video. Very informative. But you skipped Valerian. Poor guy always gets forgotten 😅
-
Worth pointing out that Trajan's unit ability to ignore modifiers includes negating minus 1 damage and also halving damage. In addition, the units OC cannot be modified including if you fail battle shock.
-
Just waiting for WE'S!. 😊
-
Questtion about the marial katah, it says that you can choose a stand at the start of THE fight phase, meaning both yours and your opponents?
-
I would love an update or just a tips video on custodes because they seem really weak right now. I don't know what to do and just get bodied every game.
-
Will you make a how-to-play for World Eaters? 🙏🏽
-
Lovely! Just started with 40k in 10th and Custodes is my first army. 🪙
