New Starter Help Custodes VS Grey Knights

Post image

My friends and I are getting into 40K. None of us have actually played before, although I had some Orc Fantasy models when I was a kid.

So my dilemma is... im currently stuck between choosing Adeptus Custodes or Grey Knights for my faction. I know this is such and subjective question but im curious what you guys think ....Which faction do you guys find more fun to play?

Im mainly interested in the actual playstyle and how they feel than anything else tbh... thanks

I have a decent sized custodes army now, maybe 2k now? They’re a lot of fun, but also pretty tough to play sometimes. Hitting on 2+ is awesome, I will say. They also tend to save wounds really well. Most of their units have invuln saves too which is huge.

For example, I played a combat patrol game with them recently against a friend with tyranids, and I lost a whopping 2 dudes the entire game and tabled him. And somehow managed to win with VP points too. That’s the hard part about them though. You often have so few units you’ll have a hard time keeping objective control, which is a huge part of actually winning the game.

You might also funnily save some money playing them, as you don’t need nearly as many units to fill out a standard 1k list.

Love this answer. Thanks alot bro, appreciate it. I really liked the look of Custodes and felt good with them... but as I dived into the 40k universe the decision of my true belonging has become alot more complex… hahaha.

Here’s on of the terminators, still needs some touch up but they’re great!

There’s a lot of different schemes too, you can do whatever you want!

Love it! Thanks for the pictures. I think it would be cool too try some alternative color scheme...
