Hi, I've recently finished building a custodes grav Tank for 40k and had a small question regarding the I'm assuming acrylic stand that allows it to "hover"

I am quite new to the hobby so I didn't want to make assumptions, but this stand, is plastic glue alright with it or do I need to use something else? Because plastic glue is all I have.

Hey guys,

after the balance Dataslate from yesterday, i changed my list from LOE/MOM to the Shieldhost and MOM.

I had a 5 man Allarus brick that i did cut out.

I realized that i really like the enhancments from shieldhost so i put three of them in.
I tried to go for big bricks to kill good for my purge and to deny a litte bit of the mirror matchup.

Shield Host + Might of the Moritoi - Adeptus Custodes - Purge the Foe - Shield Host, Might of the Moritoi (2020 Points)

Valerian - Warlord + 5 Custodian Wardens (370 pts)

Blade Champion with Auric Mantle + 5 Custodian Wardens (405 pts)

Shield-Captain in Allarus Terminator Armour with Panoptispex + 3 Allarus Custodians (300 pts)

Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike with Castellan's Mark + 2 Vertus Praetors (305 pts)

5 Custodian Guard (215 pts)

5 Witchseekers (55 pts)

Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought with Interred Expertise Upgrade (180 pts)

Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought with Interred Expertise Upgrade (190 pts)

Been working on a small force of shadowkeepers and almost done woth my first test model as well as a shield captain where I decided to try pushing myself doing a limited palette and nmm for the first time.

I won't be doing a limited palette or nmm across the force, but with how the results are so far i may do something similar on other characters.

Going to a tourney soon, thoughts on this list? (Its 10pts over 2k since wardens just went down by 10pts)

1. The blade champs will go to the guards, and Trajann will go with the wardens
2. i was thinking to use the guards and bikes to be the big dps, wardens sit on the centre and deny area + any primaries that rely on holding the centre. Then termies to be deepstrike threats and vehicle killers. Witchseekers simply hold the expansion and screen

Currently just painting my coronus for a tournament in August and I have to say painting the rivets on this thing has been a task and a half. I'm not even halfway through but luckily watching otzdarva has kept me sane

I finished painting my Telemon ready for an event on the weekend. Converted from a saturnine with Telemon components.

The forging of the Ultimum Supplicium.

During meditation this Blade Champion experienced a vision unlike any he had known in centuries of service.

He stood upon an endless plain of shattered blades. At its centre rested a single colossal sword, its point buried in the earth before the Golden Throne.

The Emperor spoke no words.

Instead, He simply placed one hand upon the blade.

When the Champion awoke, the design was burned into his memory with impossible clarity. Every proportion and every mechanism could be recalled perfectly, as though he had once forged it himself.

Rather than acting immediately, the Blade Champion sought judgment.

The design was presented before:

the artificers of the Imperial Palace

the senior Shield-Captains

the lore keepers of the Ten Thousand

They searched every vault and archive.

Eventually they discovered something astonishing.

The blueprint already existed.

It had been drafted during the Great Crusade.

The design bore annotations attributed to the Emperor Himself.

But it had never been constructed.

...

Only one suitable blade existed.

A titan-sized relic forged during the Dark Age of Technology.

It had been preserved for millennia.

Originally intended to become the execution blade of a Knight of the Imperium.

Instead...

The Custodes claimed it.

The Knight House protested.

The Fabricator-General questioned the decision.

None could overrule the authority of the Captain-General.

The relic was surrendered.

Its edge was recut.

Its balance altered.

Its machine spirit awakened.

Thus it became the relic grav tank The Ultimum Supplicium

-----

My first grav tank so I made a fun simple kitbash.

If I could give it additional rules -it would have assault on its gun. [Transport capacity of 1 blade champion] advance and change when he's inside

Melee would be Attack roll a D3+3

Ws 2+

Str 12 with lance [dev wounds]

Ap -4

Dmg6

So I’m looking to make custodes my next army and I’m planning on buying the 30k battle group box as a starting point.

Only problem is I want more spears to swap out on the sentinels to make more normal guards etc.

Does anyone know a place that I could get the correct arms and spears combos in a one?? Thanks in advance!

G’day golden-ish boys and girls.

Simple question that probably doesn’t have a right answer, but the only dumb question is the one you don’t ask, right?

When assembling my lovely vertus praetors from my auric champions box, is it generally accepted to use the large oval base, or the clear base? The kit comes with both, so I assume it’s fine either way (except the clear bases historically are garbage imo), but is one considered correct as far as play goes?

Basically, I’m curious if anyone else thinks the new codex will buff the Contemptor dreadnought and let us swap out their weapons. I’ve only got the idea due to what they said in the Q&A video from a few days ago (being that Custodes will be able to use all their weapons, ie neutronium projectors and etc), I might be coping but it’d be nice if it happens.

Sorry the pictures aren't very good. Really enjoyed doing these, I normally do Orks so fancied a change of pace.

They have two squads of 10 termagants, barbgaunts, leapers, a prime and a psychophage round 1. We have four models. I have no idea how to hold any objectives or kill the phage - i'm playing a game in a few days. Any ideas / experience / thoughts?

Hello! I’m listening to Master of Mankind, and I want to paint a model to be either Ra Endymion or Diocletian Coros. What model (currently being sold by GW) would best represent those two? Based on the dramatis personae, Ra is a Tribune and Diocletian is a Prefect.

Guys I am a bit lost with the upcoming changes. I have a game today, with an RTT on Saturday.

Should I play Lions + Disposition ive never played today, or Shield Host + Purge the Foe today to practice for Saturday? Trying to make the most of today's practice.

Edit: maybe im off the mark here but with today's changes im gonna try out Lions + silent hunters with Disruption and see how that feels. If its too much bs for me, ill go Shield Host for Purge and unga bunga at the RTT.

I'm heading to my first RTT in a two weeks with list submission due in a few days. Pretty happy with what I've got (read: all the Custodes units I actually own so far), but the balance dataslate today's given me some interesting new options.

The list was always built around Shield Host / Might of the Moritoi since the strategems for Shield Host seemed to best suit the units I've got access to in the list. That put me on a Purge the Foe disposition until Might of the Moritoi just got swapped over to Take and Hold.

I'm not too fussed about doing well, just there to have some fun games, but would be curious to hear what people with more games of 11th under their belt think about what dispositions work best for Custodes! Even with the balances to purge the foe, it seems like a good choice for Custdoes and the list's got some good durability/killing power for it. But on the other hand the sticky objectives off Shield Host's stratagem's and Custodian Guard loving being on objectives for their wound rerolls has me wondering if a pivot to take and hold might be a stronger gameplan.

Tbh not undeserved but mannnnnn let my termie captain cook with his evil bonk stick and score for murder every turn

Ngl kinda like the idea of not being dependent on talons to run take and hold

Do you think the Agamatus Jetbikes and Aquilon Terminators will be included in the new codex? If so, what role do you think they'll have? How do you think they'll differ from the Vertus Praetors and Allarus Terminators?

Space marines 2 seems to have been a gateway drug for me. Three months later, and I am now 14 books into the universe and have a ~ 1600 point army.

For painting, I’ve been using the Vallejo TMM imperial gold set and a few citadel paints. I got a lot better with highlighting without obscuring shading after I started to dry brush more. That probably jumps out when comparing my first guard unit to the most recent venatari. Apart from that I would love to hear any suggestions! Also I could use advice on how to take better pictures lol.

For a list, I was aiming for something cost effective, somewhat competitive, and fun to play. I came up with a pretty mobile looking list below. I tried to avoid sisters because of the poor cost-point ratio, but I’m not completely against them. The only units I haven’t bought yet are a second set of allarus terminators and vertus praetors. So ideally everything else in the list would stay pretty close to the same. If I’m way off from ideal I could probably make some bigger changes though.

Thanks in advance!

Bonjour à tous,
Je suis en train de finir de peindre mon armée custodes avec le schéma traditionnel.
Je les trouves très beau en or avec le brossage en stormhost mais je suis à la recherche de schéma alternatif, des schéma qui existent dans le lore.
J’ai beaucoup peint de figurine DG ( 3000 points de death guard ) et la peinture sur elles était plus complexe, plus de détail, plus de jeu de lumière et ainsi de suite.
Je recherche donc un schéma plus complexe pour nos chers custodes
Merci d’avance à ceux qui apporteront une réponse
