Veletaris Storm Sections are the meat of this tercio, start at 10 models and go up to 20, and are heavy like the other Veletaris. These are Line units you can send to take and hold objectives and theyll do it well. A Knight Abyssal or even Krole herself with a full squad of Raptora in an Acquistor plus some Prosecutors to hold the line is a nice dip for a marine force.
The Goonhammer Review: The New Astra Militarum If Prosecutors are tacticals thenVigilator Cadres are clearly despoilers. Ultimately I think youre taking this guy because you have to take an HQ, not because he adds all that much to your army. As agents of the Imperium you can get up to all kinds of mischief by attaching independent characters to them (perhaps making them scout, for example), buffing them with psychic powers and so on. Its fists are S10 ap2 Sunder not Brutal. Custodes dreadnoughts dont come in Talons so each uses a whole FOC slot elites in this case and Heavy Support for the others. Like all other Veletaris theyre Initiative 4 (but heavy so they dont actually move around quicker) which lets them go toe to toe with marines more easily.
Liber Imperium reviews - Goonhammer : r/Warhammer30k The point bump is probably thanks to the plethora of special rules, including Stubborn, but it still stings a little that theyre absolute squishier and less shooty than their marine counterparts but more expensive. They come with Volkite Chargers as stock, and you can throw a few upgrades on here but mostly youre coming to these lads for the buff to Leadership and command vox. Fists come with built in S6 plasma flamers, which are quite cool. Perhaps its most interesting gun is the Spiculus bolt launcher, because it fires 8 pinning shots with decent strength. This one is made up of: TheArtillery Command Section is what youd expect by now with the exception that you can put a cognis-signum in the unit, which is absolutely worth it. Both are vicious characters and crazy cheap for what they are. EMAIL US TODAY support@spikeybits.com. This is your jump pack squad, with models that youll either love or hate. Hetaeron Guard. During this event, players will compete on three teams to decide the fate of the planet.

These are the sword and board Custodes and you cant mix them with spears. This means that every time you visit this website you will need to enable or disable cookies again.
PDF Goonhammer Narrative Mission Pack Its the sort of thing that will quite reliably send a thunderhawk and all its passengers crashing to the ground. You can invest a staggering number of points into this guy if you really want to, decking him out to the point he has a 2+ save and a 3+ invulnerable save, but honestly keep him hiding behind a building and dont bother because hes chaff like the rest of the army. Aevos is also a man of reputation, and so all unit, friendly and enemy, are at -1 Leadership within 12 of him but equally he cant be shot at until hes within 12. Judgementis for secret police and psyker hunters, and makes that unit Fearless when locked in combat with a unit with at least one model with the Psyker sub-type. Each one grants bonuses to a unit with that chamber, with the bonus being different for each. A quick bit of adding up showed that I could take a shield captain and 610 Custodian Guard or Sentinels at 3000 points.
Liber Hereticus: The Goonhammer Review | Goonhammer The whole unit has to be armed the same with the options being a multi-laser battery, a gravis heavy bolter battery, a laser destroyer or a quad-launcher. Theres an argument for giving him a Solarite gauntlet because that way he gets 6 attacks with it at WS6, which is quite a lot better than other models get for the same upgrade cost. In an army that mostly lacks long-range fire, having a unit that gets 9 incredibly powerful attacks on the charge and has a very long strike range (including deep strike if needed) is great news.

A Premium subscription was provided to Goonhammer for review purposes. As written you cant deploy them each in different units so theres a weird scramble here to get them in place. You can do some interesting weapon swaps here, giving all of them two bolt pistols if you want, or an assault needler for a little price hike which is fun. Even Lorgar with his Brutal (2) club is a threat. But the larger the game gets the more likely it is therell be some kind of big game for the Ares to hunt. But is it asurprisingly good weapon given what kind of unit this is?
Imperium | Goonhammer So yeah, they strike at I8 on the charge. Interestingly the unit with the command vox can even be in reserves, and thats maybe not a bad choice! Valdors Custodes friends will absolutely massacre whatever unit the enemy Primarch is attached to and then chop the Primarch to bits. Youre going to have to switch to hover mode at some point. Sisters of Silence Prosecutors. I think this slow speed is a bit crippling for the Telemon, sadly. You have to wait for them to arrive, and cant disembark till the turn after that, meaning you certainly wont be in assault till at least turn 3 even if everything goes perfectly. Last but not least we have theExpurgator Cadre, the heavy weapon support of the Sisters of Silence. We're in the final days of Warhammer 40,000 . For 85 points you get five sisters with heavy flamers, which is pretty decent, and they seem like a fun unit. Of course if youre bringing Krole along (and shes fantastic so I can see why you would) she gets her own pick, but you dont have to make her the warlord and while her warlord trait is great its pretty situational and these arent. Which leads us to. I think theres a pretty strong case for adding one or two of these to your army. A profile with T5 and a 2+ save makes them extremely durable to anything with a krak-missile-style attack. Then you have 60 line bodies ready to pump fire into stuff and the vox interlocks mean they should stay the course. Raptora Cadre (six additional Raptora, 2 power fists) (275pts) and then shoot their lasrifles, and they can shoot their lasrifles and then charge (which they almost certainly shouldnt, theyll die in droves). Ive given a bit of thought to how you might go about fielding the Legio Custodes so Ive sketched out some lists here. These are not meant to be seriously tuned but they give you an idea of the sorts of things you can do. For me thats too much. Im less convinced by the paid-for spears because I think Id just prefer to have more Custodes instead. Theyre about 50% more expensive than your troop Custodes with the same number of attacks at the same WS, so take troops if you want guys with normal Guardian weapons or Sentinel Guard if you want fists. As befits them being not as good as marines they only give a 6+ FNP, but hey, theyre 15 points each. The Knight Abyssal and Raptora go in the Kharon (which starts on the table) and they slam about the place finding lone units that look vulnerable, jumping out and murdering them, and then jumping back in to go to the next place. By Magos Sockbert and Edwin "Lupe" Moriarty.
If those armies find Custodes charging back towards them they could well be cut to pieces. I think that would work a bit too well and be oppressive. Rifle Section (10 additional auxilia, vox interlock) (115pts) The Achillus isnt as tough but it would be my pick as its so much more dangerous. Are they good? It would be better if people didnt field the army this way. This makes enemy deep and outflank strikes (though not subterranean ones I think) a bit more likely to be disordered. Maybe Custodes? For you cute tank lovers, theCyclops Demolition Section is a real treat: the smallest of tonks. It can carry 6 Custodes or four Acquilons and is a fast anti-grav Model. The standard versions of these all come with a decent 18 assault 2 gun and they are all AP2 in melee. If it wasnt obvious, having incredibly powerful basic troops is a strength.
Liber Imperium Review: Legio Custodes | Goonhammer It's time to learn about the shiniest army in 30k. Probably not amazing, but theyre not a terrible basic infantry choice. Oh my ambassador, you spoil us. Strictly Necessary Cookie should be enabled at all times so that we can save your preferences for cookie settings. The Laser Destroyer is absolutely king here, no doubt about it. You can only have one in games of 3000 points and above (so you can get Valdor in smaller games!) The difference then is cost and main guns. The Unified Tournament Circuit is a regional circuit for Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar which covers the area between Virginia and Newfoundland. They dont have any warlord traits though, so youre stuck picking from the generic ones.
Liber Imperium - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum What a vicious unit. Finally we have the Charonite Ogryn Section, which are space ogres in oversized armour with claws strapped to their arms. He has to be Warlord and gets the standard Custodes trait, giving him an extra attack and initiative in a challenge. The Annihilator is a pricey upgrade and absolutely worth it, turning the tank from sort of a curiosity into something that will just rip open enemy vehicles. The Iliastus Accelerator Cannon has a long range and fires 3 Brutal (2) shots that hit like krak missiles, which is kind of nice but doesnt come close to justifying the cost of the Caladius. Maiden of Blood gives you a bonus reaction in the assault phase, and lets you bring along an extra unit of your warlords chamber. Some scallywag has persuaded a bunch of Custodes to give away their incredibly lethal melee weapons in exchange for heavy bolters with combi-disintegrators built in. Its T8 and Heavy, so it cant run. They can deep strike. You can sacrifice orderlies to reroll or tweak the result. Their equipment is kind of weird with pistols that fire three autocannon-like shots but only their Misericordia to hit with in melee, though pistol and misericord will give them +1A. The trouble with the sword is that its really not good enough against vehicles or dreadnoughts. Thats because it will get assigned to a Strike or Assault Squadron at the start of the game and basically become part of that unit. I dont know if really shooty armies could stop this lot but anything assault-based would have an awful time. Support Goonhammer on Patreon and get access to our Discord and exclusive App features.

Unfortunately theyre centreline-mounted weapons so reactions would be quite easy to avoid. Theres an extremely limited set of things they cant beat in melee and theyre pretty fast. You cant buy him a jump pack or jet bike, so hell be walking. It's worth starting here with the fact that this book actually contains 3 different army lists - The Tagmata Mechanicum (The fighting forces of the Mechanicum, think cybernetic soldiers, robots and deadly vehicles) The Questoris Households (The Knights of the 31st Millennium) and the Titan Legions (The mighty god engines of the Adeptus Titanicus). I think that means you can expect all the enemys autocannons and missile launchers to shoot at them, and kill them fairly easily. Unfortunately all the guns are centreline-mounted, which makes it a bit awkward to zoom an Ares around while always pointing at something you want to kill. You also get a very respectable Twin Lastrum Bolt Cannon (8 S6 AP4 shots) and PotMS so you can split your shooting how you like. TheVeletaris Terciois the big chunky choice here, and is made up of the following: The Veletaris Command Section is a less impressive command squad with fewer weapon options, but theyre all in Reinforced Void Armour making them Heavy (your mileage may vary on if this is good). This is a two-day, 6-round even to decide the fate of the planet Lenk in the Imperium Nihilus. I generally dislike this eggs in one basket approach. It suffers all the same problems as other aircraft in the game at the moment and is also made of spit and tape and hope. We are using cookies to give you the best experience on our website. Oddly, though both guns are twin-linked on the model, only the Iliastus is in the rules. Stay safe out there. However, step aside competition because theSubjugator Cadre has arrived. Valdor probably isnt quite good enough to take down other Primarchs alone most of the time but that doesnt matter because all his friends are Custodes. Assembly-wise, I didn't run into any issues. Their selling point is that theyre tough, with a 2+/4++ and 3W. Blood Angels Lightning Fighter. The other Judgement option here is theSilent Fury and the first sign of what is to come later: Sisters of Silence Jetbikes. The most senior Custodes are able to buy you a teleport transponder array. 12/01/2022. Barring any additional benefits from Doctrines, Tercios do two things: In short Tercios are sort of mega units loose groupings of units that you dont have to keep together but you probably will.
