Product Information

However you like to play, you’ll find Relics that support your strategies and being able to take two of them** in your army opens up some real tactical flexibility. Your bog standard Deep Strike ability, given a fancy name for ease of use on Stratagems etc. (which we fully endorse). Auric Weapons They also both provide their wielder with an additional point of Strength – that’s a whopping Strength 7 with a guardian spear – so they can easily fell anything they face on the battlefield. That obviously eats a big chunk of points, but still leaves plenty for a solid core – a couple of shieldguard units and a slightly bigger guardian spear squad to anchor the line and provide a bit of threat. The spear squad opens up the option of using Martial Discretion for a decently sized volley of D2 shots via Salvus in an emergency.

This group of warriors has been rotated out from the exhausting vigil of the Companions. While they regain their strength with lesser duties upon the battlefields of the 41st millennium, they are nonetheless still the most resolute of the Custodian Guard.While this unit is in range of an objective marker, each time a model in this unit would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 5+, that wound is not lost. Each type of Shield-Captain has access to three unique abilities and you, as their commander, can simply pay the points to upgrade them and choose the one you like. This allows you to easily bend your leaders towards certain battlefield roles. Let’s take a look at a few to give you an idea of their potential. Guardian Captain-Commander If that unit has the highest combat tally from your army of enemy units destroyed during the battle (or is tied for the highest).

Oblivion Knights are among the most powerful and experienced of the Sisters of Silence. Many have fought against and defeated numerous alpha-level psykers. This WARLORD is eligible to perform a Heroic Intervention if it is within 6" horizontally and 5" vertically of any enemy unit. With the clinical strikes of Behemor, not even the toughest hide or armoured hull can deny them. The Hurricanis style lets them carve their way through enemy ranks in a blur of blade and blood, while the executing techniques of Victus have claimed the lives of tyrants and warlords beyond count. Yet these are but three of the myriad forms of death known to the Blade Champions.

Codex: Adeptus Custodes Jack Harpster’s Competitive Review of Codex: Adeptus Custodes

Their Swiftsilver Talon relic exemplifies their rapid fighting style, a lightweight weapon that compels its bearer to acts of expeditious violence and makes them more mobile. The heavy armour of the Allarus Terminators requires a different fighting style, favouring powerful blows that take advantage of their enhanced strength, with the full confidence that their wargear will keep them safe no matter the odds. Within this gilded vessel lies an essence that exists on no record a life-giving liquid of rejuvenation for which there is no known source. Each drop consumed is a symbol of the slow decay of the IAdeptus CustodesAn ADEPTUS CUSTODES Detachment is one that only includes models with the ADEPTUS CUSTODES keyword (excluding models with the ANATHEMA PSYKANA, AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM or UNALIGNED keywords). This warlord is a supreme huntress who has captured and purged countless psykers in the bowels of hive worlds, the hidden dens of criminal warlords and on planets in the throes of heretical rebellion. Select one trait of a shield host fighting style that unit cannot have. Each time that unit gains its shield host fighting style for a battle, it also gains that trait. Each time a Psychic test is taken for a unit, subtract 1 from the total for each unit with this ability within 18" of that unit (to a maximum of -3). Following a trend of alternatives to common objectives we have Stand Vigil, a sort of alternative Stranglehold. This scores at the end of the Battle Round and gives you three points if you control more Objectives than the opponent which are not in either player’s deployment zone. This does kind of hit the same “why not just take Stranglehold” problem, especially because of the timing, and the best use case we can come up with is for five-objective missions, where it allows you to focus on hitting the centre and one flank without worrying about the other. However, in those missions it’s usually disastrously bad news if your opponent has managed to steal your home objective, and if you have your home objective then you’d be scoring Stranglehold almost any time you’d be scoring this. The other upside it plausibly has is that it does motivate the opponent to come and try and turf you off mid-field objectives in preference to trying to circle round to your home objective, which can force them into the kind of game you want to play. Not sure how well that theory plays out, but maybe!

Adeptus Custodes The Goonhammer Review: The 10th Edition Adeptus Custodes

Instant. You can select two additional units to be Marked for Greatness after the battle in which you completed this imperative. Finally, an alternative way to use a third HQ slot is with a Knight Centura, which you are likely doing for access to Silent Judge in competitive play. She also provides a useful re-roll 1s to wound aura for Sisters of Silence if you’re bringing lots of them, and can take any of their weapon types (getting an improved version of the bolter). For a bargain 50pts Judge is good enough that you’ll often be able to find room for her, and if you’ve contrived some sort of cunning plan involving Silent Sisters, the value goes up. Troops This WARLORD has the following ability: ‘ Voice of the Emperor (Aura): While a friendly ADEPTUS CUSTODES or ANATHEMA PSYKANA unit is within 9" of this model, add 1 to the Leadership characteristic of models in that unit.’ Select one stance of one martial ka’tah. That unit always benefits from that stance (even if a ka’tah is not active for your army). Peerless transhuman warriors contend with a cunning, capable, and prepared enemy in Warhammer 40,000: Shadow Throne.

This WARLORD has the following ability: ‘ Oblivion Knight (Aura) : Add 1 to Advance and charge rolls made for ANATHEMA PSYKANA INFANTRY units while they are within 6" of this model.’ Is a model that performs a teleport-shunt using the Praetorian Plate Relic considered to have made a Heroic Intervention when it does so? This unit has mastered one of the Custodes’ myriad fighting styles and formations.When this unit gains this Battle Trait, select one martial ka’tah and make a note of it in the Other Upgrades section of this unit’s Crusade card. When one of that martial ka’tah’s stances is active for your army, this unit treats both of that ka’tah’s stances as being active. ADEPTUS CUSTODES units in ADEPTUS CUSTODES Detachments gain the Shield Host Fighting Style ability. Select one stance of one martial ka’tah. Until the end of the battle, that unit always benefits from that stance (even if a martial ka’tah is not active for your army).
