custodes don't have any legends units, as far as i'm aware (since forge world is a different thing)

**FezzikDaBullgryn**

That's my point. It's a silly argument for this faction. It's like saying you're upset because Orks have no Inquisition Support.

Custodes are perfectly mediocre right now. There is really nothing that makes us SUPER powerful, and nothing that makes us horrible. Which is a great place to be. We could be where Guard was for all of 9th, or Votann.

Point being, it could be a LOT worse. Remember when GW got silly and made Trajann over 200pts? Member when they limited our captains to a single type per list, so you couldn't take multiple of a Jetbike captain?

Be happy we aren't literal garbage right now, because that's where the really angry fans wanted us.

I shouldn't say us. I haven't played Custodes in over two editions. I just bought an Eldar box set and am trying my best to make time to learn them now. Running up and punching things as hard as possible IS NOT WORKING.....

New Detachment for Grotmas! The new Spearhead gives a fun new army rule and the list focuses on a mostly dreadnought and vehicle force.

VEHICLE units in Custodes armies:
When they’re not battle-shocked and at Starting Strength, all
VEHICLE units gain 2 OC.

When they’re below Starting Strength, they can re-roll hit rolls of 1. And when they are below Half-strength, they can re-roll hit rolls of 1 and wound rolls of 1.

WALKER-specific buff that gives them all a permanent +2 to their movement characteristic and adds 1 to all Advance and Charge rolls.

If I'm reading this right, you can have your Warlord be a dreadnought too and give it enhancements.

This detachment works best if you can use all the forgeworld Dreadnoughts.

Yes, you're reading it correctly.
