Warhammer 40k: New Adeptus Custodes First Looks – FTN
GW has hit us with TWO new 40k codexes this week but in this episode, we just focus on the guardians of the Big E – the Adeptus Custodes.
Hi folks,
We just scratch the surface on the Adeptus Custodes this week. The codex is jammed packed with new stratagems, faction rules, Relics, and Warlord traits. Some things are just as you would expect and some things have been dialed up to 11. Get the first looks from us in this show. The Adeptus Custodes are still going to be mainstays in the competitive scene.
Games Workshop was nice enough to give us a promotional copy for our review.
The great thing about this book is that you can largely use the figures you have and it’s a nice treat to be able to maybe haul a few additional models out of your collection back to the tabletop.
The fighting styles and how they interact with the Shield Hosts are some of the more dynamic things about the book. It gives you some amount of flexibility even if you only want to take the same figures in every game. You choose your fighting styles before each game and it isn’t something you have to do at army list generation.
One of the best Stratagems from the previous codex is Unleash the Lions. It’s still there and as a matter of fact, I think we’ll end up seeing a lot more Allarus Terminators on the table. There are a few things that have changed and we call them out a little on the show as well as highlight that even though a lot of the weapons have gone to damage 2, it may not be as cool as you think….

FTN mostly focuses on Warhammer 40k, but you will see that in the first few episodes, we take a severe deep dive into nerdom. These have been a blast to record, and I hope they help pass the time for you. Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
