Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!

Now known as the Unit Review Library!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!

In this series, I will review one unit at a time, picking them randomly.

So let me spin the wheel again and see what I get:

Adeptus Custodes, Knight-Centura

10th Edition Codex

The very first entry to this Library was the Prosecutors, who are a Sisters of Silence unit in the Adeptus Custodes army.

The Knight-Centura is a non-named character unit of the Sisters of Silence who are Anti-Psykers.

She is 70pts and is basically a Vigilator, but can join Prosecutors or Witchseekers as well and can be kitted out to be armed as any of the three.

Let's check those stats!

Stats

Movement 6"
Toughness 3
Save 3+/5+(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 4
Ld 6+
OC 1

Weapons

There are three modes:
Executioner Greatblade
or
Master-crafted boltgun and close combat weapon
or
Witchseeker Flamer and close combat weapon

Ranged:
Master-crafted boltgun - A 24" Range, 1 Shot,2+ To hit, S4 AP0 D2 - With Rapid Fire 1
Witchseeker Flamer - A 12" Range, D6 Shots (Torrent), S4 AP0 D1

Melee:

Executioner greatblade
3 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S5, AP-2 and 2 Damage, Devastating Wounds and Anti-psyker 5+

Close Combat Weapon
3 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S3, AP0 and 1 Damage

Of course the Greatblade seems the batter choice here. The flamer is sort of the weakest option to me.

Abilities

Scouts 6"

Daughter of the Abyss

This unit has a 3+ Feel no Pain against Psychic attacks and Mortal Wounds.

Seeker’s Instincts

While leading a unit, add 2" to movement, as well as 2" to Charges and Advances.

Corner the Quarry

If a unit wants to try fall back from the Knight-Centura's unit they need to make Desperate Escpae Tests with a -1 to the roll!

This means that each model in the unit needs to roll a dice and on a 1,2 or 3 the model is destroyed!

This is all good and well, but I think that the only way to make use of the last one is to include some other Custodes units in the fight... I am not sure that I would want to run away from these Sisters of Silence. lol

Thank you for reading!

Sort:  

I quite like the Sisters of Silence, especially since they work so well against psykers. That, and their more numerous bodies for the points, helps balance out an ultra-elite combat army like Custodian Guard.

Generally speaking, most Custodes players do not like to use them. But they are often included as cheap units to score objectives. They are not considered to be powerful units.

However, there is a Detachment focussed on them in the new Custodes Codex. So it would be interesting to see if anyone can make it work... or if its just... there... as a filler.

I think they're situational, especially with some loadouts. Didn't they drop about the same time the Thousand Sons got their Daemon Lord Primarch update? But yeah, they're probably usually just a cheaper objective scorer in most games.

It would be cool to see that Null Maiden Vigil Detachement take on Thousand Sons and actually do damage to them. LOL

Seems as though these ladies don't mess around!
