Ania Redfang Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I'm going to my first ITC event in January, using the Championship missions (correct term?) I want to take my Custodes, but I've never played ITC before... Can we compete? Any recommendations? I have all the units from the codex, and one each of the dreadnoughts. Any help appreciated!

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I’d recommend a Telemon dreadnaught so you have some decent ranged shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempestBlade Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 What do people like to put on the Telemon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I’m probably not the right person to ask but I’d go with the twin las pulsar and a plasma ejector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortunatus Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I think I'd rather twin Iliastus accelerator culverins on mine, but I will magentise to swap stuff around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanewatts Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I have had success in ITC tournaments with a pure list as follows: Cap on bike x2 Vexilla 3 guardians x3 6 vertus x2 Sidenote: The Telemon is ok, i have always run mine as double Iliastus.

Prot Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I play my Telemon a lot. I've settled as the Arachnus Lasstrum (dual) as my preferred build. I will tell you that I heavily doubt it in a pure ITC environment though. And please check with your Tournie director to make sure they allow it. That being said if you're pure Custodes in ITC I don't think you can do well with less than two squads of bikes. Hordes are still a real thing, and mobility is essential. You can get it from other sources, but unless things change with CA, it will be a hard mode decision if you leave bikes behind. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcoon Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The Telemon is pointless at an ITC if you intend on being truly competitive. I know that sucks bit it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanewatts Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Really at this point I am waiting for Chapter Approved, to see what changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I don't use a Telemon but we are discussing pure list and I have seen them do some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I wanted to play a 1500 Apocalypse with my Custodes tomorrow... the store manager just said nope.I mean, 15 Guards, 5 wardens, six FW Termis, three GW and the three dreads... dunno what his problem was :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Pure Custodes in ITC cannot win overall right now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Annie- I think the collective reasoning here is pretty bang on, but I wouldn't let it stop you. If it were me, I'd go and see how much damage I could do with pure Custodes. That is a challenge in itself. It's all about expectation. But it is also true that we really need to see what Chapter Approved is going to do. We all have hopes, and wish lists, but logically we have to believe the troop Guardians will be reduced, as will Allarus, and perhaps Wardens. This could change things substantially.

Charlo Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I hope Trajhaan gets reduced (75pts if the rumours are to be believed) then he'll be a good force multiplier with all those re-rolls, extra CP and a straight up baller Axe. Mostly though I hope he is as it's the best face I've ever painted Hidden Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Nice job on the skin tones. Agreed on Trajann, he is one of my favourite characters. I would pay for him regardless but 100 some odd points... heck yea. I’ll have to see it to believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
