Hellex_The_Thanatar Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Almost nothing unexpected. Lots of misses though like TELEMON leadership. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/02/04/the-next-warhammer-40000-balance-dataslate-is-here/ No auric on any weapons forgeworld. Basically as half-assed as GW could be. They were. Edited February 4, 2022 by Hellex_The_Thanatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sairence Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Basically as half-assed as GW could be. They were. Or intended so that Custodes armies actually live by their Codex instead being 80% FW every game. BLACK BLΠFLY 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwrath121 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Forgetting to give the spears +1S is very funny. Oops ... FarFromSam 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywrath Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Usually I'm aboard on the hating GW bandwagon, but considering how well our codex is doing competitively before those changes, I'm willing to let these small mishaps slide. This is on top of the fact that no-one takes adrathic/pyrithic guard or the telemon in a tournament (as it's not CORE anymore). That being said Caladius with the machine spirit keyword look infinitely more appealing, and that's with their points drop on top!

OttoVonAwesome Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Does a Telemon even need to be Core? I run a two fisted penitent Telemon and it's not going anywhere. Captain Idaho 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenerationTerrorist Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I'm wondering what your thoughts would be on a block of 6 Aquilon with Firepikes as a lynchpin/centre of an army?. Use the Katah that allows counting as not moving after advancing. That's a 22-27in threat range for 6 D6 flamer shots. They can also punch stuff with their fists.

Balerion84 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) Hah, Machine spirit on caladius almost won me my last game with custodes, if only I rolled 5 for charge with Caladius I would've won that game (lost by 1 point). :D So big thumbs up for machine spirit. Finally that strat is actually usable. :D Edited February 6, 2022 by Balerion84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I find the blast thing less of a hindrance as the unit coherency limitations. But I'd go for 6 still, since there's not that many blast weapons which really scare Custodes anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galthan Ironsturm Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 6 Aquilons with Firepikes, Misericordia and Solerit Power Talon on Dread Host are more efficient... Reroll charges, 36A, AP-3, W1 reroll wound, with talons, +6A, AP-3, W1 with Misericordia, 6D6 shoot , AP-2 (9"), W1, auto hit. Good job no?

dice4thedicegod Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I don’t think blast becomes oppressive until 11+ models. Units of 6 are fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
