As far as the deathworld plants go, I had the same reaction to their look but I like them in-person. I got a free set and aside from the weird hard resin (presumably non-GW mold press) they look fine in person. I also grew up with mangrove swamps nearby so the look of them is very nostalgic (Florida is a deathworld).

TheBigAristotle posted:Got the hookup on a trade for a third assassin to complete the detachment this weekend. $15 worth of Shapeways DW storm bolters and a dollar for a Culexus assassin. GW employee discount is 50%, had no idea. I've toyed with assassins in my tournament Knight/Guard list. The idea was to have something relatively cheap that I could deep strike behind enemy lines to gently caress up REMFs like Devastators, Mortars, and Dark Reapers or alternatively to sneak in, kill a lone infantry squad on an objective or something. Results were....mixed. Vindicares are too expensive for what you get. 1-3 more or less reliable wounds per turn to a single model sounds nice, until your target ducks out of sight or you get tied up in melee or you roll a '1' and you're already low or out of CP. I never found Vindys reliable enough, especially as the most expensive Assassin. Culexius are hurt badly by the change in the character targeting rules that allow you to ignore other characters when determining who's the closest target to a character you want to shoot. This eliminates the Culexius Screen. Without it, Culexius just don't do enough damage unless you're running into Thousand Sons or Craftworld Eldar. The "Only ever hit on 6s" thing is great, particularly to tie up an important shooty enemy unit in melee forever, but it's still kind of an edge case. Callidus have a pretty good gently caress with your opponent's CP power, and the ability to reliably throw out Mortal Wounds makes them really good finishers....I assassinated a Knight Gallant and a Daemon Prince with her when she was able to brain fry a high wound target who'd been knocked down to 1-2 wounds. The 'ignore invulnerable saves' sword also let her gently caress up some Eldar psykers which was pleasing as hell. However, too often I had a hard time finding good targets for her because she's got a narrow range of what she can handle. She's crap against high toughness enemies, brain fry aside, and doesn't have enough attacks to take on a whole squad of infantry on her own. Against the right targets she's great, but in the absence of those, you're just paying for the CP fuckery and one mediocre suicide assault. Eversors have become my favorite assassins. Note the plural. Because while one Eversor is a decent distraction, two or best of all three is pretty devastating, especially against non-dedicated assault troops. I had the most success with my Eversors, who were able to to mow through Dark Reapers, Hive Guard, a Chaos Lord (and Nurglings), Noise Marines, and even (two of them together on a single charge) a Knight Helverin. In short, I wouldn't bother with a Vindicare ever, wouldn't bother with a Culexius unless you're building an anti-Pskyer list, and would go with three Eversors as a massed close combat unit that gets into the enemy's castle and eats all the tasty shooty units in back. Maybe two Eversors and a Callidus if you want the CP fuckery, but I really think three Eversors is the way to go.

I got a Talons of the Emperor box in a trade. I then picked up Trajan Valores, another box of Custodes and the Allarus Custodes. Is it possible to play an all-Custodes army? Without being "that guy"? I'm guessing I'll need jetbikes, but don't want a spam-jetbike army. Any other suggestions on how to play Custodes without being awful about it?

I figure the Vindicare will get play when I make 2k points lists for my Imperial Fists and I want someone to keep their HQs on their toes and not charging right at me. I like the idea of a second Eversor, gently caress up my opponents long-range firepower. Culexus is there just to piss off this one dude who plays a bunch of synapse Nids. And the other guy who plays Eldar.

I'm thinking - and no, I haven't pointed it out yet - of doing regular Custodes with maybe six total (2 groups of 3) jetbikes. Add in some Contemptors and start painting everything gold. I have no idea if this will be good or not, no one in my group plays Custodes.

I apologise in advance for the Battlescribe text. It's worked decently for me and I feel has just enough variety to not feel like you're spanning any one unit. The Telemon is necessary for a pure Custodes list since you need the long ranged anti tank.

As Corrode pointed out I was at the same event as him on the weekend, my exciting and vastly less optimized adventure is detailed at: http://www.goonhammer.com/subdomains/forums/tournament-report-autumn-tides-2018/ Can our hero the wraithknight survive a Tau alpha strike? You can probably guess the answer, but go find out!

For my next project, I'm planning a Harlequins army. For anti tank, I'm thinking 3 Soaring Spite starweavers filled with Fusion Pistols, while my anti horde will be 3 Frozen Stars starweavers filled with close combat troupes. Does anyone have any experience running just Harlequins, or am I handicapping myself a lot with not allying in other Eldar factions?
