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

===Imperial Knights===
An interesting and complementary mix that will render your name mud before the day is out, as the Custodes are excellent character hunters and are capable of controlling objectives with their (very) fast Jetbikes, but lack dedicated anti-vehicle weapons, while knights are excellent at hunting down vehicles but lack the shot output to deal with hordes. This combo will struggle to rake in the command points that other armies do, but your army will be effective whatever enemy is thrown at it, and it gives you an excuse to paint your knight gold and red (go on, you know you want a golden banana knight). Incidentally, these Banana Knights are kinda Canon - No, seriously, the first drawings of the Custodes and Golden Throne by John Blanche (praised be his name) had a pair of titans standing guard in the background, yeah? And The Beast Arises series also confirmed these Warhound titan guards to be canon. Therefore, is it too far to stretch the mind that the pimpstodes have a couple of knight suits lying 'round the Emprah's dusty old house? They do have access to tech that [[Blood Ravens|most people]] can only dream of (Jetbikes, hover tanks with cannons as long as they are, disintegration guns welded onto power spears, etc.). They also use the [[Mary Sue|Contemptor Chassis as their most common type of dreadnought]].

Also, the Knights (sorry, ''Questor Imperialis'') finally got their codex, so the weird keywords and stratagem stuff that was plaguing them prior to that has been fixed. The knights have also got some of the sickest models in the game (so it gives you an excuse to buy and paint them), and FW is going to keep releasing additional experimental (and, eventually, official) rules for their Custodes models, opening up even more customisation options to very specifically tailor your army list to whatever you’re fighting (even though it’s considered incredibly bad “sportsmanship” to only build your list once you know your opponent’s). In short, it’s a good time to have a Custodian or a Knight army, it’s an even better time to have the two together in a single force.
