Codex Adeptus Custodes – 9th Edition: The Goonhammer Review

The Shadowkeepers hunt down terrible beings and relics and consign them to the Dark Cells, and are equipped to duel the most nefarious beings in all the galaxy as a result. Their Fighting Style reflects this – any enemy within Engagement Range of them gets -1A, and they get full wound re-rolls against CHARACTERs, allowing them to soak up assaults from waves of minions and making them preposterously dangerous to monstrous CHARACTERs like Hive Tyrants, Daemon Primarchs and Dreadknight Grand Masters. Uh. Those last ones have probably gone rogue or something. They also specialise in the Kaptaris combat style, allowing them to trap their weakened foes in a deadly melee for multiple consecutive turns if needed. And that’s not all. Each Shield Host has its own stratagem, such as the Aquilan Shield Host’s ability to close ranks around vulnerable characters – perfect for keeping those slightly squishier Sisters of Silence characters alive.With every strike, this warlord proves himself the master of one-to-one combat against even the most terrifying foes.

In her third Command phase, she can select Dacatarai stance 2 to be active, or she can instead select Calistus stance 1 or 2 to be active, as she has previously selected a secondary ka’tah stance. She cannot select Rendax stance 1, as she cannot select a stance of a previous ka’tah. She selects Calistus stance 2 to be active. Persistent. Once per battle, you can use the Teleport Homer or From Golden Light They Come Stratagem without spending any CP.

Emperor’s Chosen

Anathema PsykanaAn ANATHEMA PSYKANA Detachment is one that only includes models with the ANATHEMA PSYKANA keyword (excluding models with the VALERIAN, AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM or UNALIGNED keywords). Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase, when a DREAD HOST unit from your army is set up on the battlefield using the From Golden Light ability. Until the start of your next turn: The Dread Host is a great example of how all this works. They specialise in the Dacatarai Ka’tah, making them monsters against hordes. For the Sisters of Silence, Prosecutors are aggressively fine if you want to fill a Troops slot cheap – 60pts for some ObSec bodies you can leave on a home objective is absolutely going to be useful in some situations. That’s kind of all there is to say about them; they have the set of Anathema Psykana rules outlined above, and otherwise they’re power-armoured ladies with regular boltguns. If you’re filling a battalion with spicy toys and struggling to keep it all under 2,000pts, they can smooth over your list construction considerably. Elites If your army is Battle-forged, < SHIELD HOST> units in ADEPTUS CUSTODES Detachments gain access to the following shield host rules, provided every model in that Detachment that is assigned to a shield host is assigned to the same shield host. Such a Detachment is referred to as a Shield Host Detachment.

6 Stratagems From the New Adeptus Custodes Codex to Help you

Calistus is the perfect opener, a light aperitif with notes of sustained gunfire. You can choose to get up-close and personal by boosting your Advance rolls or to lay a withering barrage as you approach. Trajann 170pts 2+/4++/5+++ reroll 1s hit and wound for core 2 warlord traits if army pure custodes, sisters. This might not seem like a huge deal at first, but it’s the most expensive points upgrade – and for good reason. Each martial ka’tah forces you to choose between two fantastic stances, often with similar but differing bonuses. Take Salvus, for example. Using Master of the Stances, you can get both of these effects at once. In her second Command phase, she can select Rendax stance 1 to be active, or she can instead select Dacatarai stance 1 or 2 to be active, as she has previously selected a primary ka’tah stance. She cannot select a Calistus stance, as she must select a secondary ka’tah’s stance before she can select a tertiary ka’tah’s stance. She selects Dacatarai stance 1 to be active.Five Shield Hosts were introduced in 8th Edition, and this time around they’re joined by a “none of the above” option in the Emperor’s Chosen, effectively just a sixth host whose rules apply if you come up with your own fluff and name. This is presented first in the book, but we’re going to push it to last in the review for reasons that we’ll get to. Shadowkeepers 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 Custodes are the ultimate elite army. If you want to throw 25-30 models down on the table and have them go toe-to-toe with entire battalions of lesser combatants then this is the army for you. Custodes are an ideal painting project, with highly detailed individual models that you can really take your time on thanks to their small number, while in-game they’re hard as nails with every Custodian enjoying an impressive statline and the best equipment the Imperium has to offer. What’s in this Book? 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.
