Driving rolls (attacks and damage) determine the raw output of the attack, while gatekeeping rolls serve as go/no-go probabilities which will end the attack when failed.
#WARHAMMER 40000 ADEPTUS CUSTODES PROSECUTORS MINIATURE SERIES#
As a refresher, 40k is divided into a series of driving rolls and gatekeeping rolls. Since the number of attacks and damage are identical for these weapons, we can focus exclusively on the combination of gatekeeping rolls which produce the effective probability of wound. So which one is preferable for a variety of scenarios? Both have identical shooting profiles and deal 2 damage in melee, but the castellan axe has +3 S and -2 AP while the Guardian Spear has +2 S and -3 AP. In addition to being excellent bodyguards for any CHARACTER model within 3″ thanks to their Watchmen ability, Custodian Wardens pay the same price when choosing between castellan axes and guardian spears.

Things are certainly better for units like Eversors (3d6″ charge range) or units under the Canticles of Hate for a +2″ charge bonus, but the Stratagem still puts them below the curve of an unmodified 2d6 charge roll. If the Custodes player rolls a 4+ on their D6 roll then no number of re-rolls or “roll N pick 2 highest” abilities will enable a 9″ charge. A 9″ charge goes from being a not great but viable 27% (roughly 1 in 4) to 5% (1 in 20). Note that this occurs at the beginning of the phase, before any unit moves are declared, so the opponent at least knows how badly they’re screwed before they commit.Īnd the answer is that sure enough, they’re pretty screwed.
You pick a unit within 12″ and visible to a Custodes INFANTRY unit, and subtract D6″ from their Movement characteristic or charge roll down to a minimum of 0″.

We covered the walking blender that is the Blade Champion back in December, and this week we’re back to look at some other aspects.īlade Champion. From a mathematical standpoint it’s… pretty boring. From a competitive standpoint it has an excellent blend of flexibility, lethality, and resilience. The Codex: Adeptus Custodes book has been out for over a month now, and it’s already seen extensive success in several events. This kit comprises 67 components, and is supplied with 5 Citadel 32mm Round bases and a Burning of Prospero transfer sheet.This week’s Hammer of Math takes a look at some of the bonuses and features of the Adeptus Custodes. It includes 6 executioner greatswords, 5 Umbra-pattern boltguns and 5 flamers. The kit can be optionally be assembled as Vigilators, who specialise in melee and carry executioner greatswords, and Witchseekers, who carry flamers for devastating multi-target assaults. One model can be assembled as a Sister Superior, with her own loincloth, shoulder pad, seal and choice of 2 heads.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the parts necessary to assemble a 5-model Prosecutor Squad, Silent Sisterhood warriors who specialise in longer-range combat with their powerful Umbra-pattern bolters. The Prosecutors advance in tight bands, Umbra-pattern bolters booming more stridently than any possible vocal challenge. No normal soldiers are these, each is a precious resource that cannot be squandered, a living weapon whose unnatural aura can scramble the minds and wound the souls of those who channel Chaos energy. The core of the Silent Sisterhood are its Prosecutors, mercilessly effective both in attack and defence.
