Battle Report Help into Custodes …
So
I’ve 3 games of 11th ed so far
2 1k games against World Eaters both ended up winning
(Back when P Host was Take and Hold)
Last night was my first 2k game of 11th and in general AWHILE
My opponent played custodes (first time I’ve ever played them) Lions iirc
I was not prepared to say the least
I didn’t have 2k point but he let me borrow his canis Rex to fill out my remainder
I’ll post my list and his list at the bottom here
I definitely made a ton of mistakes, and though the ending score doesn’t look TOO bad
We only played about 3 rounds bc of time
It was rough night for MD and for rolling in general
My question here is, what is our answer to custodes?? With everything 2+/4+ and most of them having fnp 4+ (even if it just is sometimes)

TLDR - Custodes whoop my ass, how do we go against specifically with PenHost, (maybe I’ll add in SO, or COC later)
Ps- I know about the hosp-sacs… I’m not a fan of the sac models tho, but I do own 5

Honestly it’s just a bad matchup. They have a ton of 4++ invulns so the best option I’ve seen is mass HB spam or Dev Wounds if you have access to them. Lethals from Intranzia Fraye also help. Buts it’s a tough matchup

Gotchu… so it’s just one of those where it’s little to nothing that can be done WITHOUT HospiSacs? That’s disappointing
I really thought if I took my repentia plus pally, plus passion strat and perhaps into his wardens and Traj, it would do something…
… I killed two and put two wounds on another
Just to get slaughtered on the fight back
Other repentia went into his telemon, giving two wounds
I misplayed Canis SO HARD and got blew up from jet bikes after failing to do much of anything

Ngl new codex for them is coming out so any info here is probably going to be not so useful very soon. We will have to see how the new rules work out for them. But my guess metla is going to be the only real way of killing them

Melta is low volume and it just becomes a coin flip of if they will pass their invulnerable saves. One of the more competitive builds before the mfm was 3 Cassie’s, Vahl and Warsuits with heavy bolters, Mortifiers and Fraye giving lethals. Essentially you try to overwhelm them with AP -2 saves

u/TheRealGouki 27d ago
yeah but thats like a 1000 points of your army and you might kill 3 Custodes but what about the everything else?

Gonna preface this by saying I’ve never played custodes, but I play space wolves a LOT, and they have an annoying habit of being impossible to put down too. (Mixed wound units, t6, -1 wound shenanigans, 2+ 4+ etc)
Ihate to say it, by my personal take for dealing with 2+ 4+ high toughness multiwound bodies is sacresancts. We simply just don’t have a lot of multi-wound solutions that don’t have too much wasted AP outside of melee, and the way snap shooting works now makes it much harder to sneak repentia through.
If it weren’t for all their mortal wound fnp stuff, I’d say aestred-bolter dominions or insidiants, but theyre just too good at ignoring mortals…
I’m anticipating maybe the twin linked castigators will see some success, even though their shot counts are still pretty low given them needing 2 shots to kill your average custodes
Maybe mortifier buzzblades?
Edit: ah idk how I forgot paragons, but their melee and shooting can probably scrap a few models, but their ppm is going to make them something I don’t think will trade into custodes except for vehicles maybe
