Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Adeptus Custodes: Blade Champion

Product Information

To stand any real chance of completing such a mission successfully, they need a superlative warrior – one whose martial skill is so sublime that it’s counted beyond even that of his peers. They need a Blade Champion.

This stance basically turns your Custodes into Dark Eldar Wyches. It looks like they win ties, but this could really change the tide of a battle and keep your units safe from return fire. Shield Hosts & Fighting Style Rules Warhammer Community: How do you Prove Yourself as the BEST of the Best of the Best? Become a Blade Champion! This could really take your opponent by surprise because you can cover a ton of ground and still charge. Even though it’s one unit, it’s still pretty strong. Kaptaris - Kaptaris is optimised to trap enemy units in close combat with the Custodes, where the elite warriors can eliminate them.At 110 points, we’ll have to see the full statline, but based on what we’ve seen so far he should be pretty strong! Especially when you consider everything in Custodes is so high costed, 110 doesn’t seem too bad. New Adeptus Custodes Weapon Rules We saw rumors about the entire army being able to Heroically Intervene, but this is pretty close so we’ll give the rumor a thumbs up. Then they gain some decent defense against small arms fire. The Sisters of Silence got three relic options with Enhanced Voidsheen Cloak looking insane! If you combine this with the warlord trait that removes objectives secured from enemies, you can have an extremely hard-to-kill warlord stealing points from opponents. A 4+ invulvn AND -1 to hit and wound on paper is super great!

If your Crusade force includes TRAJANN VALORIS or any other SHIELD-CAPTAIN units and you are not currently on an endeavour, you can claim Magisterium Lex Ultima before a battle. If you do so, you must commence an endeavour for your Crusade force. This entails a collection of objectives (known as imperatives) that you must attempt to complete in sequence over a series of battles. Doing so will earn you Endeavour Rewards, however, failure will bring about a Dishonour! If every model in an INFANTRY unit is on or in an Area Terrain feature with this trait, then it can either Hold Steady or it can Set to Defend (see below) when an enemy unit declares a charge against it. Even more so, you can feel free to challenge any model in melee thanks to his extremely good defensive ability Consummate Swordsman which makes 1-3 hit rolls auto fail! Not to mention if they actually get a hit through, he gets a +1 bonus to his save in melee. With the Shadow Throne box coming soon, the rules for the factions inside have been coming quite often.Dacatarai - This aggressive fighting style has been adapted by the Custodes to deal with hordes of foes who vastly outnumber them. Of course, Allarus Terminators are incredibly difficult to take down, especially when you give them this upgrade. If you know you’ll be up against tough targets, consider choosing Tip of the Spear to ensure each strike inflicts grievous damage. Overall, the Vexilus Praetor seems to have gotten neutral changes, meaning most people who play them will probably continue to. Magisterium Lex Ultima: Crusade rules available to Crusade forces that include TRAJANN VALORIS or any SHIELD-CAPTAIN units.
