dice4thedicegod Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) They are at a decent points level... they just lack the survivability of troops (via shields) or terminators (via stratagems), so they need to deep strike (which termies do for free) or need transport (either underwhelming landraider or forge world)... ... it’s not that there is anything wrong with wardens, they just compete for elite slots and don’t do anything that isn’t done easier by other options. It’s a pity, as they are the best looking models in the codex. Edited December 14, 2020 by dice4thedicegod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crownedzoidberg Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) I use the wardens for regular guardians, since Custodes Boxes are pretty hard to get by in germany right now. Not mine, but look at these guys, aren't they beautiful? Edited December 15, 2020 by crownedzoidberg JeffJedi 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 If you need some Psychic defence they can be a meta pick for the stratagem, otherwise nothing that special really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellex_The_Thanatar Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Wardens are desperately in need of rework in next codex. Only behind the land raider. They don't fill any role in that alluras don't do better in... virtually every way. If they could take axes/spears and shields that would be freaking greatness and give them that extra tank dps though then they would completely outshine dreads... Maybe something like a few more unique strata that would make them shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crownedzoidberg Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 What I could imagine is wardens as a bodyguard unit for your characters, being able to heroically intervene to your Shield-Captain's aid or take wounds for their captain.

That's a good idea, maybe even as long as one model is within 3" of a Character, then that Character simply cannot be targeted by ranged weapons? crownedzoidberg 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe make their fnp get one better if within 3” of an objective? Or roll out a cheap transport (grav rhino/impulsor) that non-terminator Custodes can use?
