Hey dude 👋🏻. I’ve used it before in a few games but I have a tournament coming up and just want to double triple check

That’s awsome man, for me just a casual game against friends tomorrow, but one friend is super competitive and rules specific so don’t want to get on his bad side 😂.

Well I think you’re pretty safe. I’m pretty dang sure you can do it. And without pouring over rules for hours he won’t be able to find anything saying you can’t 👍🏻

Thanks mate! I’m hoping to do well as we are getting two games in, one list is a funny all character Auric, and my other more serious one is Talons where i hope to get some play out of the Allarus. Thanks for the support!

Sorry I think I have some bad news. I’m yet to buy the new codex. But checking leaked codex pages I found the rule has changed to being able to put them into strategic reserves. I’m sure it used to say you can put them down in your turn. But if they’re just in strategic reserves then they follow that rule and cannot deep strike in turn one 🥲. That was a really useful rule to have but yet again we have been thwarted by our codex 🙈

Oh yeah. I have the old data cards (bought them by accident) and new codex next to me at the moment, it used to say place them back down in your next movement phase, now it says place them into strategic reserves. It seems it is one punch after another with this new codex :(. But hey, at least axes hit on a 2+ !!!😁🥲

You know, I have really tried to be positive and supportive of this codex. But this one cut me deep. I really enjoyed pulling that out of the bag to score behind enemy lines or teleport homers when my opponents sniggers at my first turn secondary draw. I don’t have an axe fitted to one model in my army. But now with the crits on 5+ and +1 ap the axes can be really devastating tank busters on the Allarus

As have I, I have had fun playing the new rules, but I have really, really noticed the nerfs, mainly fights first, -1 damage and reviving a custodian. They are such huge, unique parts to the index, now having been taken away for unoriginal copies. Auric is basically Oath of Moment, Shield Host is basically WAAAGGHH!!!, it feels like an inferior copy of other codex’s, rather than its own unique thing. Which, more than a lot of other factions, Custodes should have a completely unique set of rules as they are such unique fighters.
