I mean… I can see that, we have quite a bit of good action units(Yegirs in 5s especially), but I can’t imagine it being better than take n’ hold for us. And my personal experience is also more on the side of TAH

I mean, our army rule literally gives us: a better way to clean up enemies from objectives, a resource to spend, that we get mostly through being on objectives and then a better way to sit on an objective and better defend it.

If anyone is, we are supposed to be THE take and hold of 40K. Every facet of our army rule is about holding objectives, so I guess we should be good at it.

I played a lot of brandfast oathband+armored trailblazers and had quite a bit of success. Maybe not hyper competitively, but still.

Anyway, what do you guys think?

I really like the guy and his rules, but I think he isn’t as good in custodes as in other imperial armies or as good as he might have been or might be in the future(when the comfort zone of lions will inevitably go away).

For 100 points we get:

6w at T4 3+sv/4+inv and lone op

Scout 6’’ and 12’’ movement

Some alright melee and pistol shooting just so he can’t be killed by chaff

His sniper is cool. On second shot it can one shot most cheap-ish characters in the game and on third it can one shot almost all leaders and just becomes an anti tank weapon of sorts. Tyranids and demons are probably shaking in them knees at the [anti-monster 2+]. No one wants a quarter of their bloodthirster or most of their carnifex to vanish in a 2+ hit, 2+ wound and a failed 4+ save. Even if he won’t do much damage, he will surely make the opponent piss themselves a couple times or be very paranoid about their monsters and leaders.

Unfortunately lions strike again, cause all custodes basically wound shit on 4+ and better, so there’s no need in that and we have a strat for basically a unit wide epic challenge.

And the ability to reroll hits for the whole army, against a unit that he shot. This isn’t too good now, cause custodes obviously hit on 2+ and in lions they basically ignore covers and -1 to hit of most kinds, but later on it might be good with the lack of +1 to hit and maybe some other stuff becoming more prominent. I can see him in shield host, enabling reroll of regular hits to score more lethals on 5+ or maybe giving rerolls to sisters, if they eventually become more engaged in damage dealing (maybe with their new releases or something)

Anyway, lemme know what you think. I’ll probably run him in shield host at some point

I feel like mask or shardspeaker would be a good fit

This is mostly a test of the paintscheme and it turned out pretty well, in my opinion.

I think this scheme will look a lot better on regular, less square shaped custodians, but it’s still pretty good.

I’m going for this sort of knight in shining armor vibe, which is only appropriate for the aquillan shield, given that they’re literally that archetype:)

Anyway, looking for comments or advice on the paintscheme🙏

I’m not an ork player and just curious, what the much greener fellas of this subreddit think of my handiwork.

The darkness and messiness is intentional, my friend tries to go for an uruk-hai type of vibe

(I guess it’s more of a cosplay, but still:))

Guys! We can finally play/cosplay as a Hernkyn Yaegir… in Rouge Core:)

I’ve just been playing Rouge Core yesterday and found myself with these items… and then i realized that I have the Hernkyn build:

Slicer- has a plasma blade and a shield(the theyn can take a shield in killteam, I believe)

Bulldog is pretty close to a bolt revolver and Warthog to a bolt shotgun(after enough upgrades of course)

While an anti-grav emitter and a brick of C-4 just feels like what a pioneer would have:)

Feels great to be honest. Especially, considering that Rouge Core has this much more sci-fi aesthetic, that’s kinda close to what the Leagues are. I’m pretty sure we can roleplay as a a hearth/hern band, retaking a mine from a warp breach.

Imagine if the kin got their own video game…
