Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Adeptus Custodes (section)

===Space Marines===

A very fluffy mix, as Guilliman goes nowhere without Custodes and his [[Primaris Space Marines|Pimp Marines]]. You've also almost certainly got some lying around, so that's another plus. The main upside to the Marines is their being an extremely versatile jack-of-all-trades force with no equal. Need an easy source of mortal wounds? Librarians. Need Plasma? Hellblasters. Need a lot of low-strength firepower? Intercessors or Tactical Marines or even scouts. Need a game-breaking unit that'll lose you all your friends? Chaplain Dreadnought/ Leviathan Dread/ Spartan Assault Tank/ Astraeus Gunship/ Thunderhawk. Need a melée beatstick that'll also give you extra CPs, make your units get up the field in record time and allow you to re-roll all failed hit and wound rolls, all for just 350pts? [[Roboute Guilliman|Grandpapa Smurf]] is your man. The list goes on and on, as the Space Marines are capable of fulfilling any role, making them arguably the best ally currently in the game. The only downside is that they cost a lot relative to the Guard, so they are not a good candidate for character screening duty. Also, as you're burning points like there's no tomorrow when building a Custodes army, you might find it difficult to include all the Marines units you want to, so prioritize what your army needs most of all.
