Daimhin Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 I really liked the new Venatari - so this weekend I bought a new army!! The list above is what I'm looking at, though I have never played with or against Talons - so I would really appreciate feedback/ input. I'm planning on selecting the Warlord Trait Master of Ambush. I will then Infiltrate the 2 squads with characters, the Sagittarium, and outflank or infiltrate with the Venatari. The remaining Custodian Guard squad will Deep Strike, and the 2 dreadnoughts will deploy as normal. I have deliberately gone pure Custodes (i.e. no Sisters of Silence) as that's the feel I wanted. I might add some in the future, but not planning on it to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandAdmiralThrawn Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Welcome to the Emperor's Legion!It's a nice looking army, and I like your thought process for deployment, should be a fun list to run.Feedback: Find the points for a second accelerator on the Telemon, the firepower it can dish out far outweighs any combat it might get into. For teleporting/infiltrating squads, remember that you'll probably have to endure at least one, maybe two rounds of shooting from your opponent, so position accordingly.Let us know how the Sagittarum and Venatari preform, from what I've seen they're rather lackluster performers when set beside our jetbikes and transports.Speaking of which, if you get the chance to add a coronus to the army, do so. I usually base my lists around 2, and they add a ton of flexibility and firepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Master of Ambush is amazing for Custodes, and is often how I run mine (unless I feel I need the 5+FNP on a Tribune of course!) it gives you some awesome flexibility with deployment - not to mention gets you in close! I'd say you probably don't need two full squads of Adrasite spears; if you need to save points (for an additional Telemon Gun as noted by GAT) they would be an okay thing to lose. Speaking of this though, the Telemon is pretty nasty in combat and the Plasma Flamer is no joke. Having Shred & Murderous Strike will be very good once Greater Daemons start running around too!
