Recently played a list featuring two of them with the upgrade in the might of the moritoi detachment and holy emperor that shit rocked not only are they amazing anti-elite fire support: deleting several large units of smaller chaff and doing considerable damage into larger targets but the standing back up ability makes their survivability better than every single dread us custodes can get our hands on. This included the telemon with its -1 to damage who is still susceptible to being punched off the board in 1 turn.

This game (which was into necrons of all things) also really highlighted to me how much is custodes benefit from the take and hold disposition. My list was heavily inspired by the one taken by Team USA at the recent event and i promise it absolutely delivered.

For my next game i’m thinking of fitting in an achilles with the upgrade for some more anti-tank support but i was mostly wondering if anyone else had found this amount of success with these niche models?

I don’t know why this thought occurred to me but i was wondering if anyone had had the same question.

i just feel that the value that you get out of taking a full unit of 5 or 6 allarus for example is less than taking two units of 2 or 3 as they are less agile and you’re also committing harder into the unit.

i also think in this way it could make it easier to take units in larger numbers which would also make armies look aesthetically better.
