Beautiful army kinda Wana get more into 40 k just been too scared cose local kill team community (managed by store owner was toxic as hell becose of store owner) and I bladi liked kill team models :(

[@alexanderandrews6980]

That's not 2000pts, there's more than 6 models there.

[@rockylanier3683]

Funny😊

[@Emilespartanguy]

I feel like 6 custodes is enough to stop a t’au or necron attack

[@ThatWildcard]

@@alexanderandrews6980 glad to see more apocalypse content here

[@krmvustooth5700]

6 Custodes are definitely strong enough to take on any tau force short of 30 broad sides and or hammerheads(not realistic tho), necrons tho are much more of a challenge as it would come to be a battle of attrition with the reanimation protocols and what many know as the the Pinnacle/Apex of energy weapon technology maybe able to do a decent job at least whiting down the custodes amour enough to stand a chance. At least lore wise.

[@spopey1815]

@Emilespartanguy probably not necron, but definitely, the blue space commies

[@strangecyanide9097]

I feel you, 4K custodies is a nice looking regular army. Then you remember, one of the Golden boys is worth 3-9 of the enemy’s. Ha

[@KarpetBurn]

Yeah I bought that Christmas box last year, and that alone had about 1.5K in it. In total I probably have 2K, and all I bought were that Christmas box and the Combat Patrol... I'm still not very good with Custodes so I rarely use them. Very fun to paint though.

[@synergy8879]

I mean no offense but as I've come into the hobby When you said custodian army I thought "oh cool 5 minis!" It was alot more minis than I thought 😅

[@Pcr12]

You want knights

[@Uniformtree000]

Not too far off, you can get a decent ish custodes army for 500 bucks thats about 2000 points. Since its like 30 to 40 dudes max. 45 if you make it stretch.

[@leonhardable]

@@Uniformtree000 think you can go much lower. if you buy the combat patrol three times, theres builds for a 2k point army just out of that, and thats without using spares you already have laying around or kitbashing, else you can probably even go below. taken from google, thats the build for 3 combat patol boxes: 1x Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike 1x Vexilius Praetor 4x Vertus Praetors 4x Vertus Praetors 3x Vertus Praetors 3x Custodian Guard 3x Custodian Guard 3x Custodian Guard 3x Custodian Guard

[@Romuluz369]

He could have condensed it a little more by removing some of the infantry for another achillus dread or even a telemon, he could also have stretched it out more by taking fewer or no bikes, and spamming SoS instead. This is pretty standard for 2000pts of stodes.

Sounds about right. A thousand points in HH is 11 models. Being three hetaeron guard, 3 sentinel guard, 3 basic guard, a shield captain, and an Achillus. To get it up to 2k I'm looking at an assassin another dreadnought and 6 guys. It's silly. You get a little more in 40k but it's still absolutely silly.

[@Fighter-lz1kq]

those some bright looking shadow keepers

[@-TheMachineGod-]

In the end and the death the shadow keepers are described as just custodes whose armor is covered in the soot of the dark cells, and they don’t actually paint their armor, so maybe these are just some shadow keepers who dusted off

Just out of curiosity I tried recreating this list with current point values (oct 5 2024) and it came out as 1820 points. Of course the legal squad sizes have changed, so I got as close as I could with just pure model count.

I recently brought a Spiritseer, a Wraithknight and two Wraithseer's to a 2000 point Custodes match. My 900 point army won by a point difference of two points, somehow. "Why only bring 900 points?" you ask? Because I deadass thought he'll bring 1000 points when I saw his "army" he sent me the day before.
