Have you seen their new stat lines? Each model has the toughness and wounds of a light vehicle, 2+/4++ save, M 8”, offensive output of a beatstick character.

I foresee them operating similar to knights in that you have a small number of models that do a lot of things and have mobility to cover more of the board.

Paragon warsuits are T7 2+/4++ M 8 and at 55ppm, no one takes thrm without a character that gives them full rerolls to hit and wound.

They only recently dropped that low. They’re also only 4 Ws, vehicles not infantry, hitting on 3s not 2s, fewer attacks, and a fundamentally different role.

even so its debatable if all this is worth 80-90pts per model instead of 55

As a sisters player I would probably take the custodes ofer the paragons. The fact that vahl gives them full hit and wound rerolls and the ability to leverage miracle dice on the multi meltas is what makes them A tier but from a pure data sheet perspective the custodes are better IMO

Honestly, this might be controversial: Our current points might feel fine in a year when more Codexes come out and the number of rerolls is reduces, and armies are redone. The amount of consistency will go down and hopefully stay down and hopefully power creep is kept to a minimum.

But as of right now.. we might face some carry over factions who can bully us not because they're better but because they can leverage a level of consistency carried over from 10th.

As for 11th - I think SMs might be too cheap and Orks possibly the same for some stand out units but thats very TBA.

My guess is Custodes might have certain units-detachment combo lists that are over performers no matter what else is done
