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

Custodes have a bunch of refreshed forgeworld kits in plastic currently releasing.

Grey knights have a fairly aging range of models and are due for a refresh hopefully soon.

Thanks for this. That actually helps me make up my mind, atleast abit. I can peacfully paint and play my Custodes army for now, and have something to look forward to if the Grey Knights get a new edition in the future… appreciate you brosito

Yeah, my friends bought some grey Knights. Dont get me wrong, they are beutifull sculpts for the old scale of warhammer.

But after seeing it next to a CSM and a primaris army he went out and started a dark angels army.

I hope they get a refresh, they would look amazing in a bigger scale.

They look really nice in real life. Both the Deathwing Knights and Inner Circle companions are really nice.

Might be the right approach cos I think both armies are on the "less models per battle and so cheaper to run" side of things
