=Why play Angry Custodes?= The Angry Custodes exist as the single biggest point sink per model outside of HQ's, Lords of War, certain elites, I'm looking at you assassins (really, well I shot you last week BLAM) or super heavies, destroying their enemies no matter what phase it is, even upon death each model will still be trying to FUCK EVERYTHING UP!!! Alternatively your enemy picks them off at range while the Custodians beat the living daylights out of each other like orks in previous editions. That being said, the Angry Custodes, flavour wise, exist as a strange mix of [[Adeptus Custodes]] (no shit Sherlock), the [[Angry Marines]] (OUR FUCKING RAGE IS EVERYWHERE DICKHEAD!!!) and the [[Orks]] (those emprahs boyz is wel choppy ladz), with the Custodes part providing the actual models and the immense tankiness, the Angry Marines providing the rage (although fluff wise the Angry Custodes are even angrier), and the Orks providing the reality bending powers and weird warp related shit (which if not almost certainly heretical, is definitely bending the laws to the point that they cry uncle.) ==Pros:== *You like the adeptus custodes, but are annoyed that they have one named character. *You like your namesake troops being the bane of all toughness 3 units, but also have the ability to mess everything else up. *You like being able to dish out mortal wounds to everything, even your own guys, and being able to save against mortal wounds, to the point that daemons start getting jealous. *You like an army which can explode when killed to RAEG QUIT!!! *You like angry marines, but want something that's also dakkery. *The existence of [[emperor|gold]] makes all other colours inferior, but you like that a red angry face makes it even more awesome. *You like having access to Knights and Titans, and being able to use a keyword that isn't imperium or adeptus mechanicus. **Not such a big deal now that the Imperial Knights codex is out and you can now use Knights in an Angry Marine army. *You like the Sisters of Silence but want them to have special rules which have more application to fighting factions which aren't Grey Knights or Thousand Sons. *You like having access to insta-kill psychic powers (no big D though). ==Cons:== *The rules are (as they stand) just redos of already existing units. *Poor modelling options, as the kits for e.g. Sisters of silence, provide little wiggle room. Even when it comes to painting, these models were designed for a more orthodox paint scheme. **This contributes to the lack of model diversity from the original rules as at least armies like the Angry Marines can chop off parts from eg. space marines tanks. *The codex is not yet finished, or anything remotely close to balanced. *Your units will cost a fortune per head, a basic Angry Custodian costs the same as a fully kitted out Adeptus Custodian (also an advantage as it makes your army cost less dolla unless you're using a titan). *Your army might kill itself before it reaches the enemy. *If you win, you end up being classed as that guy. **Especially if you win by just using a conga line of Sisters of RAEG.
