Great report. Happy to see 30k content. As a Custodes player, I think the most playable units are Guards, Heateron, Pallas, Caladius Annihilator, Achillus Dread and Bikes as role player as transport/heavy tanks destroyers. The rest as you say, is probably garbage.

[@SNBattleReports]

Couldn't agree more. Enjoy the game!

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Butchers got totally butchered ☠️☠️☠️

[@SNBattleReports]

[@abbadonslostarms-kbd1393]

What they did with custodes is so odd. No biker captain. No 5++. Not much ap2 shooting, 3+ save on bikers,limited good options which forces cookie cutter lists. But then severely undercosted meridian swords/haetaron. They just look confused. I don't play them so I could be very wrong?. As long as they get costed fairly I dont think many would complain about 2+/5++ and a +1 for shield.

[@SNBattleReports]

Agree buddy

[@davidcormode2700]

I don’t usually watch HH, just tuned in since I liked the look of the armies, but wow, this video is amazing!

[@SNBattleReports]

Thanks David it’s a brilliant game you should try it one day

[@pascal9055]

10 ones... Jesus. That's defying statistics in all the wrong ways. PS: Things are turning around for Stevie in the midgame! Meltabombs go boom!

Great video glad to see the Custodes back on the channel

[@SNBattleReports]

More to come!

[@peters6345]

I guess Gdubs doesnt know what to do with custodes in either 30k or 40k 😆🤣

[@SNBattleReports]

😆

[@Blazetwoe]

Beautiful Custodes army, but I am so bias for the XII as I play them myself. I particularly enjoy the trench area terrain that you use, very cool.

[@SNBattleReports]

Thank you champ! Enjoy the game

[@pascal9055]

beautiful Custodes force. The big strength of Custodes in HH is melee I think, and their weakness is shooting. So, looking at their opponent (I am just beginning the video), I assume this will go well for Stevie.

[@SNBattleReports]

Enjoy 😉

[@miguelperez9906]

I’m loving the world eaters I kinda give up on my custodes like half a year ago they just lost there luster for me also I dig that white on the world eaters

[@SNBattleReports]

Thank you very much 😃

[@wiggy357]

Stevie don’t worry buddy I get the same with my Dice too, I think it’s Pardo has a curse on them 😂

[@SNBattleReports]

I curse people as you enter the studio…

[@pascal9055]

@@SNBattleReports As you should. It's your studio. 🤣 Jokes aside, I do think it's just something that needs to be taken with a stiff upper lip. When someone rolls good, and you roll bad, gotta roll with it. But I know it's though since with you it's been 80% of games. Stevie, don't take it too hard! We like watching you. PS: it does look like the midgame really brought things around for Stevie too.

Sunday afternoon wonderfulness, watching while building a cargo 8 as a terrain piece

[@SNBattleReports]

Awesome! Enjoy buddy 😊

[@knoxminis1211]

Telemon range is ridiculous (as is the lack of Brutal of course). Custodes rules don't reflect a their lore very well. Edit: You guys HAVE to put a lot more terrain on the board with Custdoes. Otherwise it's just a shooting gallery when your opponent brings AP2 shooting.

[@SNBattleReports]

We think this amount of terrain is perfect for Horus Heresy. Also Custodes just deployed full out forward so no terrain would have helped 🙌🏽 Agree on Telemon

[@jameswilloughby4381]

How is it 35k have seen this vid but so little have liked it! I mean help the channel out people!

[@DeusExMachina10001]

Yeah... Red Butchers are quite sad. In fact, I'd say their only real competition for worst elite terminators in 30k are the Atramentar. The Raving Madmen rule was a fun, fluffy idea but it was written badly.

[@SNBattleReports]

Agreed 😢

[@claydud271]

Not splitting your lord off to charge the rampagers is what sealed the custodians fate

[@DevilsBrushGaming]

Great battle report, think should of been a draw as pardo last turn couldn't of charged the bikes as shot at a different unit. Leaving the bike alive for the last turn.

[@SNBattleReports]

Hey boss what minute is that?

[@DevilsBrushGaming]

​​​​​@SNBattleReports 1:26:47 as they try to kill with pistol fire before the predator

[@kalzhae]

36:47 don't custodes have 8 movement giving them a +1 to charge build in ? that would make it a 10" not an 11" no ?

[@SNBattleReports]

Si double check as this is some time ago now

[@smullin45]

Wonderful game and bat rep😎. Love the new Custodes army. Would love to see how an infantry heavy list (plus dreadnoughts, Pallas and Venetari would do). Is there a roll for deep strike, or flanking assault to get them in? Also be great to see a ZM game. 🤩

[@SNBattleReports]

Yeah ZM again coming soon

[@Red2Productions]

Great report, thanks guys. WE being able to remove some Custodes units early probably the difference. Having that range on the firepower really helps.

[@SNBattleReports]

Agree 👍🏽

[@combatwombat2134]

42:29 - *EDIT* - I'm blind and the fourth dice rolls just onto the bottom of the camera's view so I didn't see it. *Original comment* - you roll for 3+ to wound on 3 dice, say 3s to wound and pick up a 2 and call it a wound. It would have ended being shot by that target with three wounds lost, not four and may have survived the shooting from the following Raider, giving it an extra turn to do something. Not saying that to sound like a snarky clown, just pointing it out. 👍

[@SNBattleReports]

Maybe he was wounding on 2’s?

[@combatwombat2134]

@@SNBattleReports It was 3s to wound, but it's my mistake from not seeing the dice at the bottom that rolled just slightly out of full shot. I thought it was just the 3 dice but he hit with 4 and when wounding it was just the 3 properly on screen, so it's my bad for not seeing that.

[@padanfain7466]

Hahaha 53.50 I absolutely wet myself laughing at those terrible dice rolls. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1...

[@raphie8488]

The penalty for cutting down with multiple units should apply to the outnumbered unit.

[@SNBattleReports]

Agreed

[@squidman001]

Bring Red Butchers in a berserker list to be durable objective bullies to push enemy line out. And by durable I mean even if they have to foot it a bit, their great saves and multiple wounds will let them live to get here. I like Red Butchers in Berserker lists and Cataphractii termies in a Crimson path list. Its just fluffy, and fluffy is great!

[@SNBattleReports]

I used some Didn’t I? Problem is the custodes just have to much weight of dice and hit before

[@squidman001]

@@SNBattleReports I was just replying with how I like them. Anytime you can make it so you can punch down with them instead of punching up makes them better. I know they’re pretty terrible but I still like them for the fluffiness. I wish they at least had a feel no pain.

[@pedronatsuiro]

Great content, guys! Honest question (srsly, I've only played two games until now): why the dreadnoughts exploded when they lost their last Wound? The only situation I found in the book to explode something was when rolling a 7+ on Vehicle penetration :(

[@SNBattleReports]

It’s their Invulnerable rule in the profile buddy 😊

[@pedronatsuiro]

@@SNBattleReports Found it! Thanks a lot!

[@igorpersin7484]

What you need to do is ally Sisters of Silence, and add those dirt cheap medics to Custodes. Not to mention some very cheap scoring units + access to also very good HQ options and busted Krole...

If Stieve roll just average, not so much below average - it will be a sure win for banana boys) But, it seems like DC bited Stieve, and he rolled very low XD Anyway - it's the game of dice, and Pardos rolling was hot!

[@SNBattleReports]

[@hannahgeraghty4201]

Oooph, rough game for the custodes but good on Stevie for going with the units he likes! From my experience the custodes terminators are brilliant for zone mortalis, especially if you go with fist and claw, but are too vulnerable in bigger games.

[@SNBattleReports]

Thanks for the tips!

What weapons were the grav-tanks shooting? The Arachnus Blaze Cannon is 4 shots and Str9, not 8. Should have been 12 dice. But not twin-linked. But maybe I'm wrong.
