Kill Team 2021: The Talons of the Emperor, are they as good as you hope/fear? 

Perfect timing on this video. I just bought my kid custodes for his birthday yesterday as that's the team he wanted for KT and I was looking for a new breakdown video. Keep up the good work.

Nearly finished building my Talons proxy team, The Claws Of House Belisarius. Part Investigator Inquisitor retinue, part Navigator House mercenary band. It's a chiefly a lore based modeling project to come up with an alternative to the regular two-Custodes-five-Sisters team that can still (just about) hold a torch to newer bespoke choices. Painting and basing imminent. And thanks for the video!

Really enjoyed this info, my buddy has been playing Custodes and our crew ~6-8 players have been revived from 40k to Kill Team. Watching all these great videos is bringing us all up to speed on how the game plays with different units... Thanks!!!

I actually always take a sister as a leader. They hit on 2s and the extra wound on them is more beneficial than on a custode ... it just doesn't fit as well with the fluff

Very cool i like the how you could play them style, you should even consider a tournament recap series. Where you can highlight pro level plays etc and how to do them

I’d contend that you get more mileage by making one of the Sisters of Silence the leader - she gets an extra wound as well as +1 BS/WS.

3:40 Wait what? you got it backwards. Custodes leader only gets +1W, where the Sister gets +1W, +1WS/BS.

In light of recent marines buff, custodes just arent good enough anymore, I'm not saying give them leader as 5th model (to match HI in model count), but 4APL wouldn't be broken compared to newest kill teams. Custodes don't have reliable APx, if they want to be a threat from TP1, they need spears, then then die like flies to plasma or melta ( or their counterparts), if they take shields then they aren't doing much killing TP1. SoS FT gives them more board presence, but isn't helping in the killing department. If You have 2+5 KT, SoS leader might be a better idea, custodes leader get only +1W, while SoS leader gets +1W, and +1WS/BS, which helps with dealing some damage.

Great Video! I've just bought my first Kill Team... One box of Custodes - cheap and easier (?) to paint only 4 models :) I've been looking for guides and this is very good, thanks! Interesting that I've heard more recently that the 2 custodes and 5 sisters is becoming a more competitive build :) Not that I will be with them lol

I bought a box or wardens to run as custodes in Kill Team, I like the cloaks, regular guard aren't as pretty.

I take 5 face plates every time. Excellent.

Dear 3's to Wound. How do I find a list of all the current Killteams I know some of the Bespoke teams are out at the moment but not all of them?

oooh, I just twigged. Talons lets you do some kinda cool stuff, as well as lower the number of activations to avoid overwatch

Why not take a Sister of Silence as your leader instead of a Custodes? The difference between 8 and 9 wounds is bigger than 18 and 19.

Hello. How can You defeat necrons with these ones. Greetings

Boo Custodians. Good guide.

Certainly custodes will not get a specialist team....
