Curious on peoples opinions - my current IG list contains an outrider detachment of 1 shield captain and 3x3 bike units all armed with hurricane bolters and interceptor lances. Just finished building them and working on getting them all painted by Thursday night (still short by one - trying to find someone to split a box with).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898122.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898131.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898131.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898223.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898223.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898475.page GMT Re:Are Vertus Praetors the new black? IG list. Granted they take a huge bite out of it. I'm kinda stuck with the outrider if I want to keep my battalion regiment clean for Cadia (other detachment is Catachan).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898612.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898612.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black?

That sounds... fine, if not actually very impressive, doesn't it?

Actually checking the results it looks more like an IG army with 4 biker captains - which isn't really a Custodes army. It does suggest that bikers and IG work well together though.

Otherwise tons of nids and dark talons seem to be the main thing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898828.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898828.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898925.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9898925.page GMT Re:Are Vertus Praetors the new black? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899261.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899295.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899295.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899304.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899304.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black? faqs drop.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899323.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899323.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black? ATM you would definitely win games if you took 8 biker captains (2 SC detachments) and an IG brigade. Surprised I have seen that combo yet in a tourney.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899333.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black?
Our opponents were new Tau and new Necrons.

The Captains pretty much bounced off things like Wraiths and Riptides with 3++ saves. After the riptide got charged by 5 of them it took only 4-5 wounds . But they were pretty effective vs anything else.

I had 2 bike left by the end. We won because the fight all took place in their half and they had no nope of reaching the IG tanks in the back. I'm not kidding myself though, the IG did pretty much all the heavy lifting.

Edit: it was a 3000 point game, so 2k of IG and 1k of my Characters]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899389.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9899389.page GMT Are Vertus Praetors the new black?

Geoff Robinson got top 8 with a mostly Custodes army (3 biker captains, 3x3 custodes, 5 bikes + assassins and some guard mortars)

Also I think it would be relevant to consider how many Custodes even showed up. If 3 show up and 1 makes the top 8 thats good. if 100 show up (as example) and 1 makes it thats a lot worse.

I really feel like the best way to run them is in a Supreme Command Detachment with three Shield Captains. One of my regular opponents uses them and they are just nasty.


I took that with both Relics, and blood games on the two with the relics alongside Celestine and an IG brigade, went 3-1 at Adepticon, lost the one game by 1 point. Wasn't in the top 16 though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9901150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753671/9901150.page GMT
