That Custodian Shield-Captain statline though.

>>
Not gonna lie outside the Custode statline and the Sisters anti-psyker stuff, this is okay. With how much those custodes are worth I can kite out far more effective assault terminators with those points.

Dis is good
>>
>>49894537
>Not gonna lie outside the Custode statline
What's wrong with their statline? Custodes have always been better than Astartes and Phoenix Spears are mentioned to be shitty knockoffs of the custodes spears. So +1 across the board and AP 2 at initiative all the time seem fine. The only real issue I have with custodes is that their block special rule seems cumbersome and pointless and could be better filled by just giving them a straight up 6++ invulnerable save or maybe a 5++ in challenges.

Beyond that the only other real issue is that there is no reason to debate what to equip custodes with, give them guardian spears so they can murder almost anything in CC with ease. Maybe throw in one or two dudes with a storm shields to eat bullets.
>>
>SoS have AP2 at I5 for 15ppm

Just fuck my balance up baka desu senpai, not even Eldar go that far
>>
>>49894656
I meant that the statline is great their gear isn't though. My bad I worded that wrong.
>>
>>49894477
Wait.


Both of these are Elites Slots in an allied detachment.


How do you ally them in?
>>
Sisters of Silence statline is a little better than I like, but acceptable. Their points cost seems a bit low, but not outrageous. Getting those fucking swords for free is complete bullshit. They should at least double the cost of the model.

Custodes statline is again a little better than I think they should be, but not enough to get upset over. Value for points seems good, but not outrageously so. All their options seem fairly balanced.

Could have been worse.
>>
Those free sister swords are almost as good as the 55pt relic that Codex SM hq choices can grab.

Nah they only fought after Magnus tore it a new asshole and they were still trying to fix it. They eventually lost and pulled back to the Throne room where the emperor sealed off the portal with the Golden Throne. Thats what Malcador died doing whilst the Emperor got rekt by Horus.

>>49896332

Pretty much. The largest amount gathered at one time was 1000 during that ork raid with the Emperor. They're a small elite group dedicated to being the Emperor's bodyguards and thats about it. Since he's been pretty immobile lately they haven't had that much to do.

I remember some old short story where they had one custodes always trying to infiltrate the palace to fake assassinate the Emperor for practice.
>>
>>49896353
Apparently they take turns playing the ultimate LARP where a couple of them do everything possible to assassinate the Emperor with no punches pulled short of actually doing the deed, while the rest try to stop them.

I mean, Terra is massive, dense, and so deep that some parts haven't seen the sun in eons. There's probably a metric shitton of chaos cults, conspiracies, assassins, and those radical Inquisitors all trying to kill the Emperor. I imagine they scour the palace constantly. The Emperor is the single most important individual in the galaxy, there is undoubtedly thousands of assassination plots going on on Terra alone.

I don't see a point to either of these other than they're cool and might work better in 30k. In games of 40k they are lack luster.

Mathammer wise, how would a squad of custodes do against a squad of Assault Terminators?

10 Custodes with storm shields and power knives versus 10 Terminators with thunder hammers and storm shields too.

>>49896716
Custodes will have their own army list with 100% unique vehicles and options.

SoS will be Agents of the Emperor.

If you wish to start a Custodes army, do NOT pre-purchase anything other than the Custodes themselves.

>>
>>49897026

While a bit odd from a fluff perspective I wouldn't mind it.

The SOB have a serious issue with 'Melee troops' right now, both have a 'Deals with Psykers' focus (SOB less so but there) and the primary SoB Covent is on Terra.

An assault transport and SoS would be fantastic to see turn up.
>>
>>49897026
>Sisters of Silence will more than likely be part of the SoB army

Christ, why? What do they two have in common, other than "Sisters of" in the name?

Just you wait, they'll retcon Reign of Blood from existence and make SoB some pleb tier spin-off of the SoS with no ties to the Ecclesiarchy at all.
>>
>>49896929

Does that mean they'd still have their jet bikes and what not?

I know the Imperium has lost a lot since the days of the Heresy, but much of the Custodes armory would have been left in tact unless I'm missing something.

Were. In a Wardian move where a faction was forced in with another to make a codex out of it because of reasons.

>them teaming up with SoS to hunt witches isn't too farfetched

Yeah, so why can't SoS team with non-SoB then? Why can't they be like Scions or Inquisition, their own codex you can team up with any army, rather than an off-shoot of SoB? People didn't like it when the Inquisition was forced into the GK codex, so why is it ok now to force the SoS into the SoB codex?
>>
>>49897167
Custodes didn't have a problem with the Emperor-worship when they took Alicia and the other Brides before the Emperor. And whatever the Brides saw, didn't change their faith other than being seen they were fooled by Vandire. And the Sisters didn't seem to take issue to the Custodes presumed lack of religious fervor.

I think at it might be safe to say at this point the Emperor has realised the whole atheism thing had failed.

I'm kind of bummed the Sisters are T3 still. Just because it kind of reduces their utility, they're one of the emperor's chosen warrior groups they could be boosted a bit more.

But instead we get a cost effective unit that has great swords and S4 along with decent anti psyker rules.
>>
>>49897287
>Dark and Blood Angels should have been rolled into one big book too.

Well, they're codex chapters, so I don't see why not. At tops give them their "Angels of Death" supplement like in the old days. But they probably sell enough for GW to keep pushing them as their own things while making all the really codex diverged chapters in the vanilla codex more and more vanilla.

But the point is that Inquisition and SoB never belonged together. Only thing they had to do with one another was that Hereticus was formed to watch over the Decree Passive and other groups on the side.

And yet BT are still on the same spot as they were in 5th, out of the meta and with 0 ways to keep up with the rest of the armies as we dont have a decurion and are totally based on assault with shit tier units in an edition that punishes you for assaulting shit.

>>
>>49897354
True. I'm just saying their stats are the opposite of what I expected. Namely being a really good cost effective melee unit for its points (only 15 points for sweet swords and to lock down the psychic phase).

I just wish we had more SoS units, maybe with more elite options from the Horus Heresy artbooks, cardgames, or just made up. With some super SoS unit that would have higher S, T, and 2+ save to represent the most genetically modified heroes/primes of the SoS who were personally modified by the Emperor etc or the squad that took down that giant psychic monstrosity in Flight of thr Einstein etc.

I mean the whole point of the 30k game scene is to spam power armored or human factions all over the place, why not embrace it.

They don't have to be that good.

I just want a viable s4 t4 army that is not marines. Its why I kind of like some of the mechanicus and imperial militia rules too that let you do that.

Actually the Silence gals can get S4 basically for free so they're halfway there.

I don't want to sound like I don't like the unit though. Hope Forgeworld/GW gets more monies and expands the crap outta these two factions. I'd love to see more unique units for these two, including some we've never seen before.
>>
>>49897821
>I just want an army of marines that is not marines
but why
>>
I honestly don't think they either are worth fielding in 40k.

If I want an elite group of CQC specialists, a squad of Wulfen all equipped with TH/SS are cheaper and will do a far better job than the Custodes.

The Sisters might be a decent alternative to that anti psyker assassin since they put more numbers on the field, but even then having such a thing period is way too situational.

The White Scars strike forces or Dark Angel battle company with Imperial Knights are still far better options. Taking any of AdMech's options is still a better option. Taking any SM Chapter with a Gladius Strike Force with full battle company is a better option. Taking a blob of Astra Militarum with heavy artillery support is a better option. Taking inquisitorial back-up is a better option in terms of points left over. Only maybe a squad of SoS is better than taking that one anti psyker assassin.

Nice bullshit, where is this "Armies of the Imperium Allied Detachment", how does it work and where's the troop choice for this list you just made up? You play unbound if you want to use custodes and sos in 40k as they dont have a FOC of their own or an HQ or Troop choice to fill a normal FOC.

I mean their gear is as good as you can reasonably expect, always AP 2 at initiative weapons, bolters, options for storm shields, artificer armour. They are equipped pretty much on par with a genetic praetor.

Out of curiosity what were you actually expecting in terms of gear?

I was expecting better base stats from the spear considering how pricy these guys are. Like a post above says, the Wulfen are so much better at the job than these guys are for example. I would personally argue that even terminators are possibly better because they can also get AP1/AP2 gear.

>>49897868
>If I want an elite group of CQC specialists, a squad of Wulfen all equipped with TH/SS are cheaper and will do a far better job than the Custodes.
Unlike Wulfen, Custodes don't look pants on head retarded.
>>
>>49899111
Custodes beat terminators due to multiple wounds, eternal warrior, and str 5 AP 2 at initiative with block providing a pseudo invulnerable save.
>>
>>49899111
they are t5 w2 guys striking at S6 3 or 4 times each.
>>
>>49899224

And by having one guy give up his AP2 you can give the entire squad +1 attack.
>>
>>49899224
>>49899271
Compare that to Assault Terminators who are 225 points with the hammer and shield, so it's s8 AP2 with Concussive and have a storm shield while Custodes have to downgrade to that shitty blade to get a storm shield.
>>
>>49899754

But that's just paying more for beefiness not really needed. They are at that point a beefier Deathwing Knights unit who are somewhere in between Assault Terminators and Custodes in beefiness and even in points value, but are also too costly. The 225 for Assault Terminators with nice weapons is already costly enough, but the over 235 and over 260 for the DWK and Custodes respectively? For something as simple as Eternal Warrior?

>>49894537

Protip: Custodes don't have invulnerable saves. Literally gravbait: the unit.

Both them and Sisters of Silence are really good though. Overall Custodes are probably some of the best TEQ out there, and Sisters of Silence have those stupid S4 AP2 rapeswords.
>>
>>49900669

I wish the boltgun SoS were worth using but they really don't feel like they are worth 15 points for 'Not so shit at melee (But still not great with the base weapon) SOB'.They feel a bit like they should have gotten a backup melee weapon of note for when they go boltgun. Or just given them both boltgun and blade.
>>
>>49900732

I feel like Sisters of Silence are basically human Aspect Warriors, with "killing psykers and either hordes or TEQ at short range" as their aspect tactics.

They do that one job well, but anything else? They don't have transports. They don't have assault grenades. They have plenty of weaknesses that will make them garbage against a large percentage of armies. They wreck psyker heavy armies like Librarius Conclave spam or Tzeentch summon spam, but run them against Tau and you will get shat upon in a most humiliating manner.

Sisters of Silence are pretty decent, bar the lack of grenades.

Custodes, on the other hand, are a mess. No grenades, no native invuln, no FnP, no way to shoot and charge with the spears, shitty generic AP3 swords, the list goes on. Yes, T5 W2 Eternal Warriors are tough, but not actually tough enough to handle plasma or grav to a sufficient degree.
A native 5++ and Rending on the Sentinel Blades would have been enough, really. Considering their cost, that'd hardly be overpowered.

>>
>>49901522
no it doesn't. they have their own faction unique detatchment. which is just 1 elite slot.

the SoS and custodes don't have that or formations so the only detatchments available to them are a CAD or Allied detatchment. But since their factions don't have troops or HQ they can't meet the minimum requirements.
So unless there's more rules coming the only possible way to put custodes or SOS on the table is in an unbound army.

>both Eldar do not use a single one of their psychic abillities, just their equipment

The sword is a generic powersword with a couple of boltpistols glued to it, while its fluff makes it out to be the best thing ever. And, yes, 50 points for four powersword attacks is fucking awful.

As for the AoS thing, the factions were ordered according to their allegiance (Order, Chaos, Death and Destruction), but for the most part you don't just field that shit willy-nilly across subfactions, since you usually want to make the most of buffs and spells that for the most part only affect one subfaction.
Basically, think of what you can do now with allies, except it benefits you less and even Battle Brothers cannot buff one another.

Unless you're fighting lots of 2+, s5 ap3 with a 2+ 3++ is literally fine.

It's a bit like twin-claw terminators, just S5 vs. Shred. And either +1 attack for sword and knife, or 3++ from shield.

>what more do you want?

Maybe anti-tank weapons, if you're gonna field them as their separate army or in any large quantity. Though I'm sure there's gonna be more to them. The rules are just for the stuff that's in the box, just like with Cataphractii, which only got to take weapons in the kit. There's bound to be more options and unit types in the future. I'm hoping these will be the elite dudes and bolter armed tactical custodes will be the Troops.

5 Custodes have 10 eternal warrior wounds, are effectively strength 6, have a large number of attacks, toughness 5, a psuedo invul save in CC, and are fearless.

Besides the main people that will be using them are probably 30k players who mostly can't take storm shields. In 30k Custodes could make great assassination or escort units due to being a bitch to bring down. Five custodes are probably more dangerous than most primarchs, lower toughness and no invul but they have a combined 16 attacks and 10 wounds while still being strength 6.

I guess that there's going to be some kind of 'agents of the imperium' book coming out soon with custodes, sisters of silence and the temple assassins in it. Presumably with a detachment allowing you to field just elite choices.

If you only wanted a single custode in your army with a storm shield you are technically correct.

There was a time when they were the one and the same. "Storm Bolter" was just a name for the "combination bolter", which was two bolters slapped together.

I think it was a Word Bearer that compared Space Marines to wolves and Custodes to tigers. Wolves fight as a pack while Custodes fight solo and never expect any help or back up.

>>
>>49894537
They look amazing to me. If your enemy has a lot of anti-armor, take storm shields and give them sentinel blades, you still get melee-shooty assault units but with invulnerable saves. If the enemy has lots of melee units give them guardian spears for blocking. Even giving the fuckawesome standard to one of them still leaves them with a power weapon.

But I wonder though, if /tg/ had to choose, which super-special upgraded Astartes (yes I know the lore but they're functionally similar) do you think would win, Grey Knights or Custodes? One squad each, equal points value, any GK infantry unit type you think would do best.

psychic bullshit - GK
Keep in mind GK can summon str D vortex attacks

shooting - GK
GK have an entire codex of shooting wargear
Custodes have fancy boltguns

That's assuming the Sisters of Silence don't change at all over the, you know, ten thousand years after the Horus Heresy.

It's not farfetched at all for them to be swept up into Ecclesiarchial thinking, since the vast majority of the Imperium did.
>>
>>49914819
I don't think they will be well liked by other branches of the Imperium. The blankness makes them inherently unlikeable. Also they don't talk so they will be quite alien. Its unlikely they worship the Emperor, do the navigator houses worship the Emperor?
>>
>>49914819
iirc, they remained so in the Beast series that's set in M32.

Still, I feel a bit upset that my glass hammer Incubi are being out-done by the Imperium. Incubi were one of the last truly unique advantages the DEldar have.

Hell, even Eldar Corsairs can take a shadow field for 15pts cheaper than the DEldar can.
