Abilaties work off field per rules commentery. Unless othervice noted. (Tallyman.)
I realize this means we can use 2 rapid ingress in one turn.

So they fixed Plague Marine unit sizes but Custodes Wardens are still 3 or 6 when they get sold in boxes of 5? That was literally the reason they gave for changing Plague Marine unit sizes. I don’t want to leave out 2 of my Wardens every game.
Plague Marines will also be glad to see that they can be taken in squads of seven once more – you no longer have to leave two unfortunates from the seven-man kit on the sidelines!
Cheers GW…

Does anybody know what the best way to farm CP for Custodes is these days?

I don't think we can. Two inquisitors are as close as you can get. And they are both kind of bad for us. You can do random objectives and discard them.

For those of you that are interested, I did a bit of quick maths to clear up in my head when it is best to choose Sustained Hits vs Lethal hits for our Katahs ability. I'll post it here in case anyone else finds it useful.
Essentially the decision comes down to your To-wound roll required.
Scenario is: 30 attacks (nice easy number to calculate), with various amounts of successful wounds based on either Sustained hits or Lethal hits. The basic takeaway is, if you're rolling 4+ to wound, they're exactly the same. If your wound roll is worse than 4+, use Lethal Hits, and if it's better use Sustained hits.

Yeah, the math checks out. I did some quick math in my head and it depends on witch side of the 4+ you are on.
Where I am less shure about maths if when re-rolls come in. Both the Allarus and the regular Custodian Guard have access to full reroll, and the later re-roll 1's.
Perhaps a more sepearet discussion but I wonder if Captain changes the math of axes vs spears in a group of wardens. Since he gives both sustain and exploding hits. I suspect there are very few scenarioes where the axe is better then the spear.

You are actually doing very good. At 1000 point it is hard for us to hold objectives. But our stratagems a very strong. That + our excellent statlige will carry you long.

Looks pretty good honestly, if I had to nitpick I'd probably drop the venatari. This frees up for a few options I really like. But again you'll be fine either way,l this is just my 2 cents.
Second caladaius + veiled blade on champ
Allarus terminators squad of 2, another guard in that squad, and an exaction squad/voidsmen at arms
Bringing Wardens to 6 and guard to 5 + veiled blade on champ
A different approach is figuring out how to fit in a brick of 10 guard and throw ceaseless hunter on the captain following them but thats more of a list tweak than a swap out.
I think inprefer options 2 and 3 but I love caladius' so had to throw that in there.
Quick note is you want primarily guardian spears on everything nowadays, it's just so much better for dmg, I've been running 4 spears 1 shield ratio(vexila/miscandria at 5 man, ad a sentinal/shield at 10)

I went back and forth on the venatari for quite a bit against a pair of terminators and an assassin. The main factor was a measure of certainty they offer, so I decided on them for a few reasons:
1) Free rapid ingress. With CPs at a premium and needing to save them for critical strategems, getting that free use plus their movement grantees that I can engage the most valuable target or steal an important objective. The terminators, while tougher and cheaper, can't do the same even if I did RI them due to their slower movement.
2) Can't be tied down in a protracted fight.
3) They are very choppy and shooty, and will probably destroy most targets they go after.
Even so, they are the unit I'm most unsure of in this list and we'll have to see how they do with some field testing.

I definitely agree that spears are the better option, but I have six sword and board built and painted from way back when they gave a 1+ save and I'm not about to undo that. Perhaps down the line I'll swap them for more wardens and an enhancement on the shield cap.
At 1k points I'm not sold on playing a unit of 10 shield guard, even if it is an unmovable deathstar. Too many eggs in one basket and all.

I think for 1K, I would run the following:
Blade Champ
Shield Cap
5 Spear Guard
6 Wardens
Caladius
Exaction Squad

Quick question:
So im playing on Wednesday and I want to try the landraider in a serious list. Ive been testing it for months and it honestly performs very well for me. I usually deliver a blade champ with either 5 wardens for a bit of longevity or 5 spear guards if I need to kill something important on an objective somewhere. the 4 las canon shots often take down stuff for me too and the oc5 body is just around great. Yeah, I give up bring it down but hey, what can you do?
my list is:
blade Champ - veiled blade
termie cap - hunter
2x5 spear guards
6 alarus
5 wardens
landraider
that leaves me with 250 points and I can't decide if I want callidus assassin and 3x4 witch seekers or just straight up 5 spear guards more?
the first package gives a bit more control and flexibility and we all know the callidus is amazing. But 5 guards more gives me a whopping 5 units that can actually kill stuff.
What would you guys do?
