I mean you can bring an all tank army with Imperial Guard right now, hence why armoured battlegroup doesn't exist.

They even get objective secured.

The smallest model count army, How hard is that? If you bring in FW, then... well no one takes FW seriously simply because they aren't in the codex.

No one plays against actual titans for fun in 1500 points.

Or are you proposing GK actually hate the other 2 factions like them? Or 3 if you include ordinary SM.

I mean, if you only look at them as individual models, then I don't know what to say.

Generally, what defines GK as being an army of about 3 models, compared to a demi-company of normal Space Marines?

I mean, sure, they largely wear Terminator Armour. Sure, they have more bespoke gear. They're incorruptible. But since when were they EVER as few on table as Knights?!

You'd be better to compare them to slightly more Elite Deathwing, rather than an army of TITANS.

I'm not saying that GK aren't an elite army, but to say they EVER competed in the same niche as Titans is a stretch. Comparing them to Deathwing is more logical.

I am glad to see others also realize GK players should not be upset that Custodes got a good book.

Yea I literally never said that. If you want an elite army plenty of factions have a way to field it. To call GK an elite army is like calling gray a shade of grey. It's literally all it can be, whereas with SM and DA they have the ability to shop around.

So when I was comparing them in a wide brushstroke I am comparing them by what options they have. A IK army literally is only Knights. A Dark Angel army has so much potential to be so many different things.

Why are you so focused on an afterthought? What are you after?

The salt has more to do with Custodes getting the codex GK players asked for, rather than GK getting that codex. I don’t know any GK that actively hates on Custodes, but I do know quite a few that hate on GW’s design team decisions. They literally ported the index GK into a full codex, only with less options. Then they add a unit nobody wanted as well as additional nerfs. It’s almost like GW has a reading problem.

No, we love what they did for the Custodes, after all, we gave them all of those suggestions last year for the GK codex!
