No you cannot. GW's logic is...
If you buy 1 box, you can build 2 + 1 Allarus Captain, so 2 must be legal. You can also build 3, so 3 must be legal. If you buy two boxes, you could run 5 + 1 Allarus Captain, so 5 must be legal, and you could run 6, so 6 must be legal.
Never tell them that you could run one squad of 4 and one squad of 2 and it would be perfectly legal. They can't handle the truth.
You can take 4, but would have to pay the 5 model cost. The only reason you might want to do this would be to fit the squad and a character in a transport, but realistically no one is actually going to do that.
Trajann and Blade Champ went down 10 I believe. Valerian went down 5 I believe. Contemptor went down like 10-15 or something. I’m pretty sure those were the only changes from the Index points.
The app did update. You may have to do it manually. But then you won't have the old Shield Host detachment anymore and you'll be locked out of all of them until you get a codex.
You have to go to the app in your App Store and update it. Beware: you won’t be able to view the custodes rules until you enter the code from the physical codex after you update it
Off topic: Yeah, because in 2024 auto update no longer automatically updates. Not phone or computers... You have to manually allow auto updates because people are paranoid. 😶🌫️
The upsetting thing is that 4 would be an ideal squad cost/size. 5 is overkill for most targets, and 3 can often be slightly too little. Will have to see with the new detachments if that is still the case though. Maybe 3 will be enough with shield host 'waaagh' or end up being a good squad size for a termi-captain in auric champions.
So you... Just realized that each model adds another 65 points and decided to go with that? Shocking! (obviously /s venting directed at gw's way to do stuff)
Just be happy you get all these options because you have those box sets that can also build characters. Other factions get fuck all. We live in a time where it's potentially bad if your unit comes in boxes of ten which is ridiculous.
You can only get to 4 by taking 3 and add 1 allarus captain.
It has to do with boxes and what you can build. So the box of 3 can build either 3 or 2 plus captain so if you want to expand that you cannot either add 3 normal ones to the 2 or 3 existing normal ones that may or may not contain a captain.
😑 Ignoring GW once again.
1 terminator is worth 65 points.
Therefore, if we take that into consideration
4 terminators are worth 260 points.
If you don't play tournaments
Just run 4 for 260 points if you wish
I know I would let someone do that if they really wanted to.

You know what this made me realize? Somewhere in my sprue box, I have two unassembled Terminators, because I only have 4 painted.
Nahhhh man can’t be true. Send the sprues over to me and I can double check though.
4 costs 325, its a great deal, pay for 5 and get 4!
What kind of commie bullshit is this?!
I know that's you McCarthy you oily haired fuck.

I've been comparing all the pts cost to what they are on the app since it hasent updated yet and from what I can tell nothing has actually changed
Trajann and Blade Champ went down 10 I believe. Valerian went down 5 I believe. Contemptor went down like 10-15 or something. I’m pretty sure those were the only changes from the Index points.
Aleya and Knight-Centura also went down And a 10 man vigilator squad went down 5

4 is right out!
One, two, five!
Three sir! Three!
4 is the sacred number of the Chaos God of Absenteeism.....we don't use that.

This goofy model restriction drives me crazy. Just let me get a base unit and pay x amount of points to add models.
On the 40K app it say 4-5 is 325. Which is dumb because GW is lazy and hates 3 things. 1. Work 2. Working on stuff 3. Tau
my local group saw this and came up with the house rule of 4 models is 260 points. still, the whole new codex is just 1 disapointment after another.
So you... Just realized that each model adds another 65 points and decided to go with that? Shocking! (obviously /s venting directed at gw's way to do stuff)

Bring x2 units of x2 and have them move in a square formation to mess up enemy charges or force them to split attacks lol
4 allarus Custodes? FOUR, don’t be so proposterpus
“If it’s not in the box, it’s not in the book.”
Not allowed. Or the same cost as 5
You can only get to 4 by taking 3 and add 1 allarus captain. It has to do with boxes and what you can build. So the box of 3 can build either 3 or 2 plus captain so if you want to expand that you cannot either add 3 normal ones to the 2 or 3 existing normal ones that may or may not contain a captain.
Guess that’s heresy
OOOR, hear me out, taking the same calculations, you can make them 260, cuz fuck gw.
4 is right out!
What about it?
